鈥淚 am so excited about winning and kick starting my career with Boomf 鈥� having just finished university, this will be a great first step to getting my art and illustrations out there,鈥� said Izzy, who graduates from BU with a first class honours degree.

鈥淢y tutor at 菠萝视频, Susan Sloan, definitely helped me to hone my style of art by always encouraging me and giving me good advice during projects at university. I think without this direction I wouldn't have got to where I am today to be able to even have a chance at winning a competition like this.鈥�
