Hannah Bisset enjoyed her first course at North East Scotland College (NesCol) so much she returned for a second.
The Bridge of Don resident left school in 2013 and went to NesCol to complete an HND in photography.
After getting a taste of the creative life, she decided to go back to the classroom to develop her skills further – this time opting for visual communications.
The 27-year-old said: “I loved every minute of my time at NesCol.
“I received so much support and learned so much from the extremely knowledgeable lecturers. I also met some amazing friends and, more importantly, I found my passion.”
Finding her passion
From building Lego with her dad to working as a photographer and now as a content executive, Ms Bisset has always had a creative side.
After her first course at NesCol – which was an easy choice due to equipment and facilities on offer to students – she found full-time work as a photographer.
But over time, she realised that something was missing in her ideal skillset.
She added: “There were designs I wanted to create but I just didn’t have the knowledge to put them together, so I decided to return to NesCol to complete HND Visual Communication.
“The experience and knowledge I had gained as a photographer was such an asset when studying the visual communication course.”
Since completing this second course, Hannah has found work as a content executive at Xana Creative.
Her role involves working with clients on projects involving photography, graphic design, video and animation.
She added: “My NesCol qualifications were vital in securing my previous job as a photographer as well as my current job as a content executive.
“Photography and graphic design go hand in hand for me and I feel extremely lucky that I am able use them both every day.”
