US Design Agency COLLINS won big at the D&AD Awards 2021, scooping a grand total of seven Pencils and landing themselves in the top spot for design agency of the year in our rankings. Behind the award-winning design and branding work for the likes of Robinhood, Crane, and the San Francisco Symphony, was solid strategy work, led by the agency’s Head of Strategy Taamrat Amaize.

Recently, Amaizesat down for a virtual chat with D&AD’s first President from the world of creative education for the Still Learning Live series, designed to explore the way learning shapes and continues to play a role in all of our lives. Rebecca Wright, who is Dean at Central Saint Martins, asks Amaize all about her journey into a career in strategy, through the moments of positive affirmation, to the daily teaching and learning required to build strategy with brands.

“I’m always transforming,” says Amaize, “The more I learn, the more I learn how much there is to learn!”
