Follow up email from Creative Milkround

I email both Matthew from Numiko and Adam from Two birds one stone yesterday to thank them for having a look through my portfolio and if I could potentially come in for a studio visit.

I'm just waiting for their replies now

Magpie was really positive about my portfolio and they brought up the potential placement at Magpie so I'm planning on emailing them asap.

They actually asked me a lot about how I went about my portfolio and the
