Aster Meerding (Design Realisation)

Biography

What's been your highlight during your time at Guildhall?

It was amazing to work with so many different people: students, teachers, designers and freelancers, as well as creating work using a great variety of skills and styles. One of the most beautiful sets that I have worked on was the one for the opera La Fedelta Premiata.

What other passions and projects have you enjoyed exploring during your time at Guildhall?

Even though it was only a couple of times, I am pleased that I was given the opportunity to try my hand at Prosthetic Makeup with the materials available at school.

What's something you've learned that you feel will help you when you graduate?

During this last (virtual) term I could put my old digital and 3D skills into practice again. I was already planning to do so later in my working life, combining both design realisation and virtual elements. The industry is changing all the time and it is good to be involved in those processes.

What are you most interested in working in after you graduate?

I would love to work in Specialty Costume/Costume Props and/or Prosthetic Makeup departments.
