Don't forget your future self - Dan Benham

A couple of years ago I was getting disillusioned in my job, I was working as a designer at a local marketing agency, doing local work for local businesses, to help them make more money. My clients ranged from plastics manufacturers to estate agents. Helping other people make more money didn’t make me happy, I needed to make a change.

Dan is a Solent University Alumni graduating with a 1st class honours degree in Graphic Design in 2010 he currently works as a strategist at Studio Republic, Winchester, working with charities, not for profits and other ethical businesses. Previously he worked for 3 Men Squared, Southampton.
