Noods x Fiasco TRACKING
Last month, in our main event space at Brunswick Square we hosted an evening showcase event for the TRACKING course students ran by Noods Levels CIC and Fiasco.
The students had the chance to showcase their work alongside talks and panel discussions on navigating the early stages of a design career in Bristol. For students, the event was an opportunity to network, gain insights, and raise a glass to all the hard work they poured into their time on TRACKING. For others, it was a great moment to come together to celebrate and support Bristol’s buzzing design community.
Wise words from the panel James Ratcliffe, Founder and Creative Director of Rhombus Studio and Alex Holmes, Graphic Designer at Noods Levels CIC and Kendra Futcher, Chair of West of England Design Forum; plus gems of advice from our hosts Izzy Cross, Director at Noods Levels and Ben Steers, Co Founder and Director of Fiasco.
As a certified B Corp company, we’re determined to use our influence to help make the design industry more accessible for the next generation. Whether this is through internships, talks, or partnerships like this one with Noods Levels—it’s really important to us as a studio that we’re encouraging creatives from all backgrounds to pursue a career in design.

Over a period of eight weeks, the six young designers on the TRACKING course tackled a challenging brief set by Fiasco. Their task was to create a brand for a fictional new design industry event series, ON TRACK, aimed at breaking down professional and social barriers for young people entering the field. Guided by Fiasco mentors, Exec Creative Director Ben and Design Director Julia, the budding designers worked to create an event poster, including a logo and supporting graphics.
The final artworks were all showcased in a ‘gallery’ here at Gather Round for all attendees to view and celebrate. The guest list for the evening featured founders of small creative businesses, established freelancers in the design industry and members of the co-working space as well as the students and their mentors.
Noods Levels are now fully in planning mode for 2025 so keep an eye on their website and follow their socials to be the first to hear about their next initiative.
