Being Here
Andrew Millar
"My teachers were brilliant. Great people to generally get along with, and for whom I have the utmost respect."
“UEL also has great contacts with other universities for the ERASMUS exchange programme. It meant I got to study in Germany for a while: the most life-changing experience I have had so far.”
Collecting souvenir merchandise from the FIFA World Cup 2006 gave Andrew the idea to create a range of biodegradable packaging for London 2012. His ingenious concept won him the Royal Society of the Arts (RSA) Sustainable Packaging Award and runner up at Designer of the Year.
“My usual haunts are around the E1 area, be it picking up a curry round the back of Whitechapel hospital; beer and beigel down Brick Lane; strolling down Shad Thames for a coffee; visiting the Design Museum; noseying round Spialfields market; general traffic dodging on my bike."
“Round that off with a kebab from Anatolia and that’s a pretty ideal day. I love East London, much more exciting than out West.”
Andrew Millar first got interested in studying Product Design at UEL after hearing one of our alumni speak at his old school. He graduated in 2007 with first class honours.
