Meet Ricky! - Twentytwo Digital
Meet Ricky!

We’ve just welcomed Ricky into the team as an Intern! We asked him some questions to get to know him a little better:

Tell us a bit about why you wanted to become a UI/UX Designer… What areas interest you most?

I have always been passionate about art, particularly drawing, and could spend hours honing my skills. This deep interest led me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts, which I thoroughly enjoyed and which played a significant role in shaping the person I am today. Upon completing my degree, I made the bold decision to move to Bristol, seeking a fresh start. With limited savings and no connections, I reassured myself that if things didn’t work out, I could always return home. Thankfully, they did, and now, five years later, I have successfully completed a Master’s degree in UX Design.

You’ve just finished your Masters, what did you enjoy most?

To be honest, the part I enjoyed the most was the project presentations. Although I’ve always been on the shy side, standing in front of professionals to explain and defend my ideas gave a significant boost to my self-confidence. Additionally, the opportunity to make new friends and connect with more people was an added benefit that I truly appreciated.

What’s your experience of the design industry been like so far?

This is my first day (send help!). From what I have seen, Twentytwo Digital seems like a great space for support and continuous growth. So after my five-month placement (yes, you’ll need to spend 5 months with me), I will leave as a much better designer.

Give us a sentence that sums you up…
