Meet the stars of our 2027 Undergraduate Prospectus

Ben Lindberg, BA(Hons) Marine & Natural History Photography 

The snakelock anemone thrives in rock pools along the Cornish coast, its green-tinted tentacles nourished by symbiotic algae through photosynthesis. This image is part of Ocean Lungs, an underwater study examining how the ocean influences every breath we take. 

BRINE, The Games Academy

The chaotic ‘retro shooter’ BRINE, set in Falmouth’s harbour streets, reimagines our town with a cast of slippery sea creatures. Six Games Academy students behind the game secured £25,000 in the Tranzfuser 2025 graduate competition to continue its development.  

Deborah Ewuosho, BA(Hons) Illustration

BA(Hons) Illustration student Deborah Ewuosho used a limited colour palette with a strong emphasis on tone for her take on a cover for Isaac Dunbar’s EP Beep Beep Repeat. The design was created digitally and brought to life through risograph  printing, a traditional technique that adds depth and texture to the artwork. 

Nicole Lin, BA(Hons) Costume Design for Film & Television

Inspired by the fluid imagination of childhood, Nicole Lin’s project Waves of Wonder celebrates the mystical qualities of water, rekindling a sense of enchantment with nature. The BA(Hons) Costume Design for Film & Television student’s character emerges from the sea, glowing with bioluminescence, to embody a sensory connection to emotion. 

Aaron Sanders, BA(Hons) Marine & Natural History Photography

“Versatility isn’t just an advantage – it’s a survival skill,” says Aaron Sanders, an underwater cinematographer making his mark as a creative professional. Coming from a family of divers, Aaron was drawn to Falmouth's BA(Hons) Marine & Natural History Photography degree. “It was a way to tell powerful stories about the natural world, particularly the ocean, using professional gear and learning from people at the top of their field,” he says. 

“Seeing my first article published in Oceanographic magazine felt like a milestone,” says Aaron, who graduated in 2022 and is developing his portfolio as a videographer on a liveaboard boat in Indonesia. “I was also named Young Ocean Photographer of the Year 2025 for an image of mating bobtail squid captured during a night dive. These achievements give me a quiet confidence that my work resonates, a validation that helps me put myself forward while staying grounded and realistic.”

Adithi Jayaraman, BSc(Hons) Robotics

Discovering Falmouth's BSc(Hons) Robotics degree opened up a world of opportunity for student Adithi Jayaraman, who moved from the city of Chennai in India to pursue her ambitions. “I’ve grown to love Cornwall; I’ve tried everything from hiking to kayaking and surfing, and I’ve worked on a range of robotics projects with real-world applications," she says. 

A highlight of her second-year studies was Solaris, a light installation project exploring the fusion of art and robotics. “It was such a fun brief, encouraging us to think outside the box,” she explains. “But building fully-fledged robots has been a big learning curve. There’s always something that needs fixing, but it’s a smoother ride with supportive friends.” For her final-year project, Adithi is helping to create a life-size robotic warthog to support research in Uganda, where University of Exeter Zoology PhD student Leela Channer will use it to study interactions between banded mongoose and warthogs. 

Archie Miles, BSc(Hons) Business & Entrepreneurship

“I tried to launch ten businesses during my time at Falmouth – and the last one succeeded,” says Archie Miles, who is now growing his UK-led recruitment agency, Shore Link, into a global enterprise just two years after graduating from Falmouth.

As a student at Cornwall Business School, Archie was keen to capitalise on the University’s creative environment. “Being surrounded by filmmakers, designers, photographers and digital creatives taught me how to collaborate across disciplines – skills I use daily,” he says. “Working with students on branding, content and marketing projects showed me the power of visual communication and creative problem solving. The connections I made and the space to test real ventures prepared me for the realities of building and running my own business.”

Beck Watts, BA(Hons) Acting

Within a year of graduating in 2024, Beck Watts was performing at the Bristol Old Vic in This is Not a Garden, a play she co-wrote, and preparing for a professional tour with the Pipeline Theatre production Runt. It’s an exciting start for the alumna, who has already signed with leading agency BAM. “I knew that this was a tough industry, but I felt well-prepared at Falmouth,” says Beck.

While on the course, Beck secured a theatre-making residency at the Bristol Old Vic, which enabled her to join an eight-person curated company for a year. “Together, we formed the Paper Cow Ensemble, which supported my newly-discovered drive to create my own work,” she says. “I found myself in a very fortunate position, as this really broadened my creative scope – opening doors to writing, directing,  facilitation and dramaturgy."

Daisy Allen, School of Film & Television

With a CV that unfolds like a Netflix marathon, it’s clear that Daisy Allen hit the ground running when she entered the industry six years ago. Fresh from Falmouth, she secured a place on the Mark Milsome Foundation’s Foot in the Door scheme, exclusive to CILECT-accredited film and television schools, launching her straight into her first feature film as a camera trainee. From dailies on Bond classic No Time To Die to back-to-back seasons of The Witcher, via Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen, Daisy is now operating as an A-camera loader on projects including Wuthering Heights (2026) and The Beekeeper 2.

“I was lucky enough to be nominated for the scheme by my lecturers and then selected by the Foundation," says Daisy. "I couldn’t believe I was packing my bags and heading to Leavesden Studios before I’d even graduated. Most of the lecturers and technicians were actively working in film and TV, so I knew I was being properly prepared for industry.” 

David Doran, BA(Hons) Illustration

Over more than a decade as a freelance illustrator, graduate David Doran has worked with clients including British Airways, Nissan, Stella Artois and The National Trust. “I started taking commissions as a student, for newspapers including The New York Times and The Daily Telegraph, plus editorial work and book covers,” he says. “This developed naturally into advertising campaigns and projects.” 

David’s career highlights include creating a 3x3m² mural for Mobil 1 and Honda, unveiled at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and illustrating the security animation for visitors to the Empire State Building in New York City. Another standout project was designing an icon for every US state for Stella Artois, featured on limited-edition chalices. “Seeing David Beckham and Matt Damon using them in the campaign was a proud moment,” he says. “I’m still based in Falmouth, working globally from my studio. The foundations I built at university remain strong – I’d love another three years there to explore and create.” 

Jenny Brough, BA(Hons) Photography

“The greatest challenge I’ve faced as a photographer was finding my creative voice,” says graduate Jenny Brough, whose career in high-end fashion spans two decades. Colour now defines Jenny’s bold, contemporary work across photography and film – an approach that has drawn the attention of global brands. “Soon after my first film for LOVE magazine, I was asked to direct a Louis Vuitton campaign, which remains my biggest career highlight,” she says. Today, she splits her time evenly between photography and directing, while also pursuing personal projects and developing an exhibition inspired by her 2024 Paris photography show.

“Working on set, leading and collaborating, is the daily business of a fashion photographer,” she adds. “Falmouth helped me come out of my shell and gave me the confidence to trust myself and my work. It became a home away from home and I loved being surrounded by like-minded creatives from so many disciplines.”

Meg Mardon, BA(Hons) Graphic Design

I think I got lucky,” laughs Meg Mardon, reflecting on her rapid journey from student to junior designer at Studio Kiln – a Cornwall-based creative practice punching well above its weight.  “The course was amazing; I still miss it every day. And stepping into industry didn’t seem scary at all – it just felt natural.”

After impressing Studio Kiln during a student internship, Meg was offered a permanent role within weeks of graduating in 2024. “It’s crazy that I’ve gone straight to working with clients such as Vinted and ITV,” she says. “I grew up watching ITV and use Vinted myself, so being able to play with those brands is incredible. I imagined it would take years to work on big names, but as a junior at Kiln I’ve been given an amazing opportunity," she adds. "One of the most valuable lessons I learned at Falmouth was the power of making mistakes. Exploring the ‘bad’ or silly ideas often takes a project further than you’d expect.”

Nathan Bedford, BA(Hons) Game Art

When graduate Nathan Bedford challenged himself to design a robot a day for a month, he never imagined it would set him on the path to a career as a concept artist at a leading game development studio. But his self-initiated project March of the Robots caught the attention of studio Milky Tea, where Nathan now creates environments and characters for games including Grit and Valor.

Known for his sketches of Norse giants and other fantastical creatures, Nathan’s love of storytelling through art has always been clear to him – something he describes as “a lifelong pursuit”. “I’m constantly drawing, adding to my visual library,” he says. “Inspiration comes not only from the books I read and the games I play, but from the world around me – nature, architecture, even the design of parks and coastal paths. Lately, I’ve focused on evolving my environment art, studying architecture, exploring how engines are built and observing everyday spaces."

Niall White, BA(Hons) Textile Design

“I learned so much from the tutors and technicians, who nurtured my desire to explore different creative avenues,” says graduate and milliner Niall White, whose exquisite hats are turning heads in high society from Royal Ascot and the West End to London Fashion Week. After graduating in 2023, Niall was one of just six selected for the CHANEL and King's Foundation Métiers D’Art Millinery Fellowship, an eight-month residency at Gloucestershire’s Highgrove Estate. 

“Producing work to such a high standard was an incredible opportunity to bring my skills to the next level,” says Niall, who has since completed an internship with hatmaker Maison Michel at le19M in Paris and is building a client base from his own East London studio. “I created hats for designers Talia Byre and Patrick McDowell at London Fashion Week, which was an amazing platform for my work and a chance to showcase millinery in a contemporary context.” 

Pablo Woolls-Blanco, BA(Hons) Journalism & Creative Writing

“It all happens so quickly in the moment,” says Pablo Woolls-Blanco of his big break travelling with the Barcelona football club's first team to report on a La Liga game. “Everything flies by, but you come home and realise ‘Wow, I’ve just fulfilled a childhood dream’.” 

Having honed his skills at grass roots level at Falmouth, reporting on fixtures for local club Mousehole AFC, Pablo secured a BBC placement and later anchored Radio Cornwall’s Saturday sports show. After graduating in 2024, his lifelong passion for Barça opened the door to a steep learning curve: joining the Catalan giants as an English-language reporter. Today, he co-hosts the club’s coverage, commentates on matches and interviews the Spanish champions’ superstars. “Last season was hectic but unforgettable, filled with incredible memories – winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Supercup,” says Pablo. "Conducting Marcus Rashford’s first interview after he signed for the club was definitely one of those ‘pinch me’ moments.”
