Work Experience Spotlight: Elsie’s Week at Laurence Associates

We were delighted to welcome Elsie to Laurence Associates for her work experience placement.

Throughout the week, Elsie embraced every opportunity to learn more about the world of architecture and design. From researching ideas and developing concepts to gaining hands on experience with industry standard software, she approached every task with enthusiasm, creativity and a genuine eagerness to learn.

As part of her placement, Elsie took on the RIBA Tree House competition, applying the skills and knowledge she had developed throughout the week to create her own imaginative design. It was fantastic to see her confidence grow as she explored the design process and brought her ideas to life.

A huge well done to Elsie for all of her hard work and commitment. It has been a pleasure having you as part of the team, and we hope your time with us has inspired the next step in your creative journey.

We wish you every success for the future and look forward to seeing where your passion for design takes you.
