“I started joining different websites and platforms for creatives and seeing what was out there which was when I stumbled on TPF. It really stuck out to me as it seemed to really focus on starting people’s careers in the creative field who haven’t had much experience and may need some support and direction to be able to kickstart their careers. The fact that it is free was really important to me, coming from a low income background, it meant that I wouldn’t have to worry about my biggest trouble whilst being on the course.”
