Dan Jenkins - Nimble Ape
Today's presentation was by Dan Jenkins, a Multimedia Technology and Design graduate from University of Kent. He talked about what he went through from his year in industry in Holiday Xtra to building his own company, Nimble Ape. Like what I am currently going through, Dan Jenkins was also unsure what to do in the future and hearing that someone went through the same process and end up being successful has gained my confidence in terms of the future.
Dan also talked about the importance of his year in industry and 'learning industry is more than theory'. This therefore made me more enthusiastic and motivated to do a year in industry and actually learning about the creative industry. He also talked about the importance of having a real world experience and solving problems and interacting is essential in any industry. That being said, I think that my previous job experience has actually helped me in terms of interacting with colleagues and customers at a professional level but that also made me realise that I should further improve on those skills.
But overall, I felt that this presentation was very helpful and help my understanding and my expectations about the real world.
