The ward.studio scholarship has been created to support one promising design student who’s looking to make their mark.

I’ve been extremely fortunate to have worked with some of the most influential and visible organisations on the planet, and each project has taught me something unique. My journey, like most, has been shaped by those who came before me; by mentors who took me under their wing and shared their knowledge, and by people who opened doors or made introductions along the way.

And now it’s time for me to pay that forward.

So, if you’re a student passionate about design, who’s eager to push boundaries, blend disciplines and who’s ready to learn — and maybe even show me what’s next — then I’d love to hear from you.

Applications are open now, and details are below.
