Summer Graduation 2006

Jo Broomhead - BA (Hons) Design

joOriginally from Cambridge, 22-year-old Jo Broomhead was really excited about moving to a new, lively city. Once in Leeds Jo soon found her feet and joined the snow sports committee which gave her the opportunity to make new friends and travel while studying towards BA (Hons) Design. She said: “With the design course it was very much self-directed learning so being able to join a sports committee was a nice escape.”

After completing her final year project, Jo was entered into the High Technology Lighting Competition. Although she was a runner-up in the event, it looks likely that her design will be taken on by the company.

“I’m planning to stay in Leeds for another year whilst I work out what I want to do next,” Jo says. “Eventually I want to become a lighting and furniture designer, but we’ll have to see what happens.”
