Intern Bios
EM - Photographer
I am a photographer. I love nature and taking photographs of landscapes and animals. I aim to progress to event photography, studio photography (including still life and products) and portraits. I intend to sell my work online and at craft fairs. I also want to start a YouTube channel for my business, where I do ‘behind the scenes’ video on photography, and possibly video tutorials, (on a personal channel), where I film gaming videos.
I enjoy gaming such GTA, Fortnite and WWE 2K in my spare time.
JD - Digital Artist
I am a digital artist, aspiring game developer and all-round great person. I was born in the year 2000 and video games have been a huge part of my life, as well as helping me make memories they have acted as a gateway into art for me. In 2005 I was playing Jet Set Radio Future and Crash Tag Team Racing on the Xbox, in 2007 I was playing Forsaken and Goldeneye on a Nintendo 64 emulator disc and in 2009 I was enthralled with the Wii. What has inspired me the most, however, has got to be Jet Set Radio Future. This game in particular is unique due to the outlandish premise: You go around on rollerskates doing graffiti. Of course, my parents aren’t the most pleased with this game but I still take most of my inspiration from the mischief-heavy game and I’ve drawn a whole load of graffiti designs. My plans are to set up an Etsy shop at some time in the foreseeable future, as well as sell my designs as stickers.
LC - Creative
I am a creative individual who since childhood, has always had a passion for art and its various forms. Ranging from drawing, poetry, scrap modelling and Celtic jewellery.
When scrap modelling, my main goal is to upcycle and recycle as many resources as possible, especially ring pulls which I use to make chain mail, lampshades and coasters.
In my free time I use my poetry hobby as a form of outlet for my sensitivity that has been heightened by my epilepsy and depression diagnosis, however, I won’t let it define me, as I live by my belief. If you can’t adapt to the world, adapt it to you!
JS - Tech Repairs
My name is James. I’m 19. I have had autism for most of my teen years. I have been very interested in tech such as smartphones, game consoles and computers. For the last couple of months I have been doing some work experience at a phone repair shop called The Repair Hub which is located in Poole high street. Ever since working there I have gained the interest in phone repair and have fixed a couple of my own and some of my friends’ phones. In the coming months I would like to set up my own website and learn how to repair android phones such as Samsung, Google, Motorola etc. In the future I would like my own phone shop.
During my spare time I like to play games with my friends such as GTA Online and Fortnite.
TB - Digital and Traditional Artist
Hello, I am a Digital and Traditional Artist. My art style consists of Anime with my own spin. I am creating my own business that goes by the name of Tactic Arts with the help of the SAMEE Charity. I aim to sell my art and my products and I am willing to take commissions.
In my spare time, I play a variety of classic games from the 80s, 90s, 00s, and modern titles. When I am off work, I also draw personal art such as Fanart, particularly art based off Intellectual Properties.
Another thing I like to do is workout, either at home or at the gym to get physically and mentally strong. I also like to watch anime and cartoons such as DragonBall Z and The Batman animated series.
