Education meets industry at LCCAFest. ✨

LCCAFest brings all of LCCA’s creative students together in one space — creating a unique opportunity for industry professionals to discover their work, meet emerging talent and network with the people behind it.

The day is all about showcasing student creativity and connecting with industry, before the evening brings the focus to fashion with an exclusive student fashion show.

What makes a great pitch?

During Career Development Week, filmmaker and game director Hasraf Dulull encouraged our Games students to rethink what pitching really means.

Rather than seeing it as a formal presentation, Hasraf explained that pitching is something we do every day. Whether you're sharing an idea, telling a story or encouraging someone to see your point of view, you're pitching.

His advice was simple: if you don't believe in your own idea, it will be difficult to convince anyone else. Passion and authenticity are just as important as polished visuals or presentation slides.

Thank you, Hasraf, for sharing your experience and helping our students build the confidence to communicate their ideas.

Meet Soyeon, a Graphic Design student whose work featured in this year's Just My Type exhibition.

Inspired by Ealing, where she lives, Soyeon created an original typeface influenced by the places and moments that surround her every day.

Although she had no previous experience in design before joining LCCA, her passion has grown throughout her studies. A recent visit to New Designers London inspired her with its bold typography, motion graphics and creative innovation, reinforcing her ambition to become a graphic designer.

We're proud to see students like Soyeon grow in confidence and develop their creative voice through projects like Just My Type.

Creativity thrives when we're willing to experiment.

During Career Development Week, Jess Lawrence encouraged our Fashion students to rediscover the joy of trying new things and embracing curiosity.

Reflecting on her own career, Jess explained how picking up a camera and simply having fun helped her develop the skills and confidence that eventually led to a career in the creative industries.

Her message was a reminder that learning doesn't always happen in a classroom. Sometimes the best way to grow is to explore, experiment and enjoy the creative process.

Thank you, Jess, for inspiring our students to keep creating and stay curious.

What do employers really look for in a creative graduate?

According to Mischa Welsh, Course Director for Graphic Design at LCCA, it's the ability to learn.

While creative studios often use the same software and tools, every workplace has its own processes and way of working. Graduates who can adapt quickly, absorb new information and confidently apply what they've learned are the ones who make an impact.

That's why studying Graphic Design is about more than developing technical skills. It's about building the confidence, curiosity and adaptability needed to thrive throughout your career.

As part of Career Development Week, our Games students heard from filmmaker and game director Hasraf Dulull, who shared valuable advice on building a career in the creative industries.

One of his biggest messages was the importance of sharing your work. By posting projects, asking for feedback and connecting with other creatives online, students can begin building meaningful relationships that often lead to opportunities in the real world.

Hasraf reminded students that perfection isn't the goal. Creative work is subjective, and sharing ideas while they're still a work in progress is one of the best ways to learn, improve and grow your network.

Thank you, Hasraf, for inspiring our students to create, connect and keep learning.

♻️ Responsible fashion starts long before a garment reaches your wardrobe.

For LCCA Fashion graduate Khaos, it's about thinking beyond the final design—from where materials come from to what happens when a product reaches the end of its life.

For their *Doomsday* collection, Khaos gave new purpose to donated sailcloth and reconstructed vintage workwear, proving that creativity and conscious design can go hand in hand.

Every designer has the power to make thoughtful choices—and every choice can make a difference.
