Katie Mihailovits
After completing the Shillington full time course in 2013 in London, Katie Mihailovits went on to enjoy design roles in a variety of organisations from a digital studio to a large communications agency.

She works across identity, digital and print.
What do you love about design?
I love the challenge of helping people and businesses communicate with their audience in the most effective way, whether that’s making a lot of numeric data more accessible in the form of infographics or by creating the right emotional impact through a campaign identity. I also love that I get to learn about things I otherwise wouldn’t have through the projects I work on.
Why do you teach?
I completed the full-time course at Shillington College in London and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I understand it’s an extremely exciting and challenging time for the students and I want to help them on that journey and ultimately land their dream job as a designer.
