Studio Brief 01 - Reflective Practice - Why am I here? - What do I want to learn?

5 reasons I chose to study on this course

1. it gives me a chance to truly explore many various design principles and methods that will aid me to discover a niche or preferred way of designing
2. to expand my knowledge - helps form my own opinions on theory and practical sides of design
3. to gain experience with live projects - learning from professional designers and working alone side them
4. collaborating with other students - to self-reflect, share ideas, opinions, design preferences and bring together different aspects of ourselves to create
5. figuring out what I want to do with my passion?
