“Receiving this honor further bolstered my credibility and boosted my confidence. It has had a hugely positive impact on both a personal and professional level and is a great calling card. This award led to two print publications as well as many digital ones. It’s also opened and continues to open doors and unlock new opportunities within the industry - including not so long ago being able to get my work featured on a website I really wanted to partner with.”

I owe a lot to reFocus and how it presented my work to get it noticed by a wider audience.”
