29 29My London story
Anna Tsuda
Anna applied to the MSc Creative
Computing course while in the final year of
her undergraduate degree at Camberwell
College of Arts, where she studied Graphic
Design. Originally from Japan, she has
been overwhelmed by the range of
possibilities and creative opportunities
that London has opened up.
“Coming from a small city in Japan, I used to
have to take the bullet train to Tokyo so I could
attend art, design and tech events, so it’s a
privilege to now have so many opportunities
on my doorstep in London. Going to events
outside of university has helped me to explore
new realms, network with interesting people
and expand my design practice.
I’m still absolutely amazed by the number of
events, meetups and exhibitions constantly
happening in the city. At the beginning of the
year, I got really excited and signed myself
up to a load of extracurricular activities, soon
realising that I had a bit too much on my plate!
I’ve cut down on my commitments now and
I’m focusing on my studies and two part-
time jobs. I feel a lot less overwhelmed! Just
remember to always do what feels right for you
and enjoy every moment.”

32 32My career journey
Yoav Segal
Yoav began his Masters degree so he
could refocus his career path and pursue
his ambition of becoming a theatre
designer. At UAL he discovered an artists’
community that felt like home and a course
that has given him the technical skills and
conceptual approach he needs to build his
future success.
“Since I was a kid I’ve adored theatre: the
gripping storytelling, the magic in the air, the
flare and ingenuity of its design. I’ve worked
a lot in the industry since, but I lacked the
precise skills to actually become a designer.
I needed to delve into the technical and
practical aspects of it.
My course has been fantastically hands-on.
My first project has been a whirlwind guide to
all aspects of theatre design, from rigorously
researching a text to learning the fineries of
costume drawing. I’m only halfway through,
but it’s already built my confidence and belief
that I’ll be able to forge a career as a designer.
UAL has so many campuses, lectures,
workshops, technical departments and
experts. Consume as much as possible,
because in the ‘real’ world lots of the skills you
can learn and connections you can make are
hard to come by.”
