Reflection about what you’ve learned about:

1) your working process-

I realized that I am the type of person that works better when I have time to think through everything before having to start. I use to just start something without really planning but I’ve found that I’m more successful when I take time to sketch and plan (although sometimes this can be a boring step). I’ve also realized that I do very well taking a couple days just thinking about a project before I start sketching. I like to walk around, getting inspiration from other and things around me and then getting to a sketchbook and figuring out what to do.

2) new/altered interests

I am really interested in design that has a specific purpose/use and is sustainable. I use to really like fine arts strictly but I’m way more into designing for solving problems and creating things that actually work- like my persona project and even my final where the fabric was waterproof and those who would wear it could actually swim in it.

3) where you see yourself going next

I’m not sure where I see myself going. I use to be set on design and management, focusing more on the business side of the creative world, but I’m not sure if thats exactly what I want now. I use to envision myself managing and marketing for creative people. I do really love designing and being hands on, and I’m a little worried that design and management might not be hands on enough. I am considering to possibly switch to integrated design… looking into it. Or maybe staying in design and management and doing a minor thats more hands on.
