James Buttery

In a word: ‘Awesome!’ That’s how Natcoll graduate James Buttery sums up his Natcoll experience.

A high school short course piqued his interest; iCreate gave him a taste of all options; the Diploma of Computer Graphic Design honed his print skills; then the Diploma of Digital Media (Advanced) refined and enhanced his creative and technical expertise.

‘Natcoll took me from high school graduate to professional graphic designer! It gave me the confidence I needed to move into the design industry.’

Every step on his Natcoll pathway increased his skills. ‘When I completed the graphic design course I felt confident I had the knowledge to work quickly, efficiently and creatively,’ he says. But James wanted more. ‘Digital media was a chance to push my boundaries and develop my style. The course opened my eyes to all the possibilities of graphic design and, by the end I really felt I was ready to enter the real world.’

Now a graphic designer for building industry giant Fletcher Construction, James is living his design dream and thrives on the challenge of working in a busy corporate environment.
