#363 Vasiliki Katsarou

March 5, 2019

Vasiliki is one of the most badass people I have ever met. She happily takes on any challenge given to her, and approaches it from incredibly creative angles that most people wouldn't even dream of. Seeing Vasiliki’s work process, and the results she produces is fascinating. She never thinks about what "can't" be done, only possibilities – and will throw herself into any task to make sure it's done to the best quality possible.

Vasiliki is also a lovely, bubbly, fun person to be around – she brightens up any room and makes people feel comfortable from the word go. I work with her and the dynamic that she adds to the team is genuinely invaluable – she makes everyone the best version of themselves possible.

Not only is Rachel the most hardworking girl I've ever met, she's also one of the kindest colleagues a person could ask for.

She's a highly talented art director, always going the extra mile and always pushing for the best work.

But what I admire the most is her optimistic and bright personality. I've worked with her on demanding and challenging projects, but she would never complain and always see the light. She builds you up with her empowering energy, and I'm so lucky to share my workdays with her.

Her development doesn’t stop at the work place though- She is constantly soaking in culture around her, be it from street art, galleries, music or films. She’s constantly working on new things and personal projects, and has also just started running a blog on mental health and wellbeing in big cities to offer help and advice as she’s big on using creativity to start conversations about causes she’s passionate about.

In any workplace, Bee will not only bring this badass gal creativity but she’ll also bring a ray of happiness and sunshine.

Creative Directors stuck in the bodies of a struggling creative team, Daze and Orla (autocorrect name: Oral) are loving life at BBH where they’re on an extended placement.

In their first year in the industry, they’ve made print, TV, embroidery, satire and ground graffiti. They’ve also run events for SheSays and Funny Women, as part of their mission to get people to see women as more than walking broomsticks playing straight to men’s hilarious jokes.

Between them they’ve got two D&AD pencils, an Aerial Award, and the gleaming approval of each other (which is the real prize omg female solidarity). Don’t call their asses bad: they’re actually really good. They both do squats.

#161 Abigail Stephenson

August 15, 2018

Abigail is currently lighting up the placement circuit in London, graduating from the University of Westminster last year with a First Class honours degree in Graphic Design. She got herself into a creative team and has been on placement at VCCP, her next stop is Lucky Generals.

What makes her transition from design into advertising all the more impressive is that she has overcome anxieties relating to her dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD. Adapting to agency life is difficult enough as it is but with a cocktail of learning difficulties it is made all that harder.

Before she got into the agency world, she was afraid that her colleagues would laugh at her for her spelling, and that she would be humiliated in meetings for reading a word wrong off a pitch deck. Needless to say, she has surpassed everyone's, and her own expectations, not only is she slaying creative reviews, she's doing it with a smile on her face; showing us all that there is room in the industry for people like herself.

She's already worked on a variety of brands, including Cadbury's, Muller yogurts, Tango and Comparethemeerkat.com. She also helped re-brand D&AD's New Blood Shift programme for 2018 - D&AD's night school for creatives with no formal arts education or university degrees.
