Meet Helen Tong, Midweight Designer at Siegel+Gale
Ever wondered about what kind of people study at Shillington? Here’s your chance to find out!
Helen Tong was working a steady job but then an advert for Shillington on London’s Tube network changed everything—design was the way forward. She researched and delved into some of the amazing portfolios that came from Shillington graduates, quit her job and jumped at the chance to apply to the course. Three months and one lockdown later, Helen graduated and hit the ground running. In the last two years, she’s gone from strength to strength—with internships, junior designer roles, freelancing and now a midweight position at Siegel+Gale.
The jam-packed days and daily briefs allowed us to build on our skills. We were encouraged to soak up as much design as we could outside of the course.
Helen’s Instagram is a visual cornucopia of Helen’s work throughout the years—from her amazing Shillington portfolio alway the way through to her own typefaces created for #36DaysofType.
Dana’s portfolio features her amazing brand identity and packaging for L’olio di Bepi—an olive oil producer based in Burano, Italy, and inspired by the town’s incredible array of colour.
