PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN_

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN_

Upon reflecting this year and my progress, successes and failures, I will consider my goals and create a development plan to help me achieve my potential.

SHORT TERM GOALS:

• Concentrate on time management: create time plans and use my time effectively to finish my studio and support module to the best of my ability.
• Present confidently my M&S athleisure brief to industry
• Develop my skills ready for next year
• Continue to build on contact list 
• Finish my second year successfully with a 2:1 or higher

MID TERM GOALS:

• Use my contact list to secure a work placement with the design industry
• Continue to develop on my unique style 
• Show my FMP collection at GFW and New Designers
• Graduate with a first, giving me the stepping stone to employment within my chosen industry

LONG TERM GOALS:

- After completing this degree, I am hoping the path I wish to take will be clearer. I am still keeping my options open as there are so many opportunities to learn new skills, but I am more inclined to fashion construction as I feel I am stronger at this. Gaining experience and insight from industry will help me tailor this decision, so work placements are key.

After working in retail for a few years, I realise that working for a fast, high street brand is not for me, however high up the company I progress to. Ideally I would like to own my own fashion company working with leather and furs and incorporating painting, as I am a strong drawer and painter. I have the determination to have my own company, and am more of an independent worker so it would suit me well working for myself.
