BARROWFORD graduate Sara Concah is hoping the experience she has gained at university will stand in her in good stead for a career in design.

Sara, 24, of Nora Street, recently achieved an upper second class honours degree in Surface Pattern Design from the University of Central Lancashire.

A former Walton High School pupil, Sara has made valuable contacts within the design industry during her time at university and is hoping to find work or training within a local company.

Her work has already been shown at an exhibition at The Platform Gallery, Clitheroe and she has also had her designs selected from many other applicants for the New Designers exhibition at Islington Business Design Centre, London.
