Numiko visited the college back in December and I knew immediately that I wanted to work with them over the summer period. I sent the head of design, Matthew, an e-mail on the day of their presentation expressing my interest in the company and also to compliment them on their work.
First e-mail:

I was very happy with the reply from Matthew and set out to produce work that I was happy with to show him at the end of the year.

Emailing David:
One of the current third year students work at Numiko and sent in some business cards for David, the creative director. I sent an e-mail to david as I had not had any contact from Matthew regarding a visit.

David did not reply and neither did Matthew so I rung up the studio. I spoke to the secretary and left a message for Matthew to ring me. Matthew replied to my phone message with an e-mail.

The visit:
I went into Numiko for a visit and was introduced to a few members of the staff. I expressed on the visit that I had an interest in UI/UX design and Matthew introduced me to his brother who is the head of UX at Numiko. Speaking to Daniel put things into perspective about UX research, I realised that this something that I am interested in but I do not want to abandon the design aspect of digital design and focus simply on research. I was then introduced to another Daniel who is responsible for wireframes and scamp designs, speaking to Daniel gave me an insight into what I want my future career to consist of.
Matthew asked to view some of my work on my online portfolio (Behance). I talked through my recent projects, focusing on the web design briefs I had completed. Doing this I gained a one week placement with the hopes of extending if it goes well.
