WHAT I LEARNED

• How great this design industry really is, especially when working with people who are not just your co-workers, but are considered friends and compatriots (the family-like atmosphere in the studios). It was an amazing experience and truly inspiring to be in the company of designers and thinkers, to really hear what my potential future may be like.

CAREER GOALS & INTERESTS

To work in a design studio as a designer or a design manager, creating experiences that will give meaning for people.

FAVORITE MOMENTS

• Viewing the Alessi museum achieve was phenomenal; I will probably never have a chance such as that.
• Group dinner at Pitigliano, experiencing the joy of tasting food and the work that the owner put into each dish

FAVORITE QUOTES

• "What is good idea, what is true, is necessity to do. It is not important, new. Why new, what is new, new is different? New is … what?"
