Becky Holmes
Becky couldn’t wait until she’d graduated to begin her career in design, so she started it whilst she was at Uni. Setting up a small independent design practice called smokytoast with a friend during her placement year, she quickly gained a wide array of clients from the dating app Tinder, to a sustainability-conscious clothing company that sources materials from Italy. She never wants to focus on one part of design, and instead enjoys the entire process from concept creation to sourcing a supplier for window stickers. She likes to help any kind of business and prides herself on her ability to adapt to any industry be it food and drink start-ups or multi-national financial services.
More recently she has taken steps towards her dream of helping conserve nature, by beginning a degree in Wildlife Conservation. Alongside this degree she is passionate about keeping her design skills alive by working pro-bono for a selection of charities that need design help. Finally, she is also one of the founding Trustees of a grant-making charitable foundation set-up to fund worthwhile causes within Wildlife Conservation.
