At Future Proof Films, we’re big fans - and friends - of Mainframe, and when we heard about the Derby Brandmatch event they had put together with TwoGuys, we immediately jumped on board - who doesn’t want to have an introduction to companies looking for local talent to help fulfil their creative needs?

There’s much more to being a fashion designer than having an eye for style and a flair for design. In an increasingly digital world a good working knowledge of CAD software is crucial but, unfortunately, it’s something that’s often overlooked on design courses.
At Mainframe we love putting on big events, with inspirational speakers on topics that we think will really impact digital and creative people in Derby & Derbyshire. However, the reality is we know that's just not everyone cup of tea or the evening slots don't suit everyone (especially if you have family like us) so we wanted to offer our community something in the daytime, something more relaxed. Digital DropIn was born.

I am a Tomb Raider fan. That’s the best way to start this. When I was five, me and my mother would walk past the Core Design studio and she would say to me “That’s where Lara Croft lives”.
