The first professional I contacted for the creative report about graduates in Leeds was Joey Barritt, Joey is the resident designer at the Tetley who only recently graduated from Leeds Beckett University. His work has a infatuation for typography and he thrives for well informed and conceptual work that enables him to communicate with purpose and clarity. He works within print, web, spatial design and books so he has a multifaceted approach in his practice. Below is an example of his promotional work while at The Tetley, and it clearly shows his infatuation for typography.

For initial contact with Joey I messaged him through instagram and simply introduced my plan to conduct interviews on graduates from Leeds, then compiling them into a creative report. He replied soon enough and was happy to help with him providing me with his personal email.
The interview over email went well with later expansion of the questions leading onto more of a conversation about his practice. I felt confident from this first interview and was pleased about the expansion of the questions, but what I got from this interview personally was learning about how his process didn't change much after graduation. The hours and amount of work he was undertaking at university allowed him to easily adjust to industry.
