<\/a><\/center>Weta Workshop 3D Modeller Lucy Cant won the Supreme Award at last night\u2019s Zonta Awards. The event, held at Massey University, celebrates the top female graduates from the Massey School of Design.<\/p>\nThe awards are sponsored by Zonta, an international club of business women who recognize women who have shown potential in design. Zonta rewards the aspiring designers with a cash prize of $1000 for the four runners up, and a $5000 cash prize for the Supreme Winner.<\/p>\n
Each contestant was required to exhibit pieces of their own work. Lucy displayed her range of public furniture, made using recycled tyre rubber as one of the key elements.<\/p>\n
Lucy says the win came as a complete surprise. \u201cI was nervous as hell beforehand because I had to give a speech\u201d, she laughs. \u201cWhen I heard my name being called I just couldn\u2019t believe it. The organisers had told us to prepare an acceptance speech, but of course I hadn\u2019t!\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucy\u2019s fellow nominees were Nina Wells, visual communication design, sponsored by Saatchi and Saatchi; Rachel Higham, fashion and textile design, sponsored by Rembrandt Suits; Rosemary Horn, Photographic design, sponsored by Image Lab and Hannah Ferens interior design sponsored by Limited Editions interior design.<\/p>\n
Lucy is currently working in our Miniatures and 3D department at Weta Workshop. She is interested in sustainable design, which aims to reduce the amount of materials used to create a design and considers the effect it has on the environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
