  “Applying to study Digital Arts at The BRIT School at Year 10 was scary, as there are so many amazing young artists out there I didn’t think I would stand a chance, but it turned out to be the best decision I ever have made. The technological skills I am learning in Game Design, Pixel Art and Animation are invaluable to me as a young game designer, and I genuinely look forward to going to school each day.”
