Today, we have a special guest on the Heart of England Speakers podcast: Swarnim Verma. She discusses her upbringing in India and Dubai. She then details her journey to becoming a digital artist that took her all the way to France at ISD Rubika in Valenciennes (France). To earn her diploma, Swarnim and her peers had to give a 35-minute speech in English in front of a jury of five industry professional. That is one third of their final grade.  Swarnim does all her work in computer graphics. Her fabrics are flowing and photorealistic, not to mention with some dazzling colour combinations.  Don't miss her work online!
