This week, we’re celebrating a very special milestone for one of our team members here at TLC. A huge congratulations to our Graphic Designer, Shadie Elyaei, on graduating with an MA in Graphic Design & Typography from Cambridge School of Art (ARU)!

Shadie’s route into design wasn’t the most traditional. She first studied architecture before discovering her interest in graphics and type, a move led by her love for visual communication and problem-solving through design.

Alongside her studies, Shadie continued working with us here at TLC while also balancing parenthood, a challenge that required commitment, late evenings and a lot of perseverance. With support from her family, friends and lecturers, she reached the finish line.

In her own words:

“To anyone wondering if you can pivot, parent, work and learn all at once: you can. It might not be pretty, but it’s possible.”

A huge well done from all of us here at TLC, Shadie. We’re incredibly proud to have you on our team!
