What inspired you to come to ENVD when choosing your school?
Touring ENVD was my biggest motivation. I saw how studios worked and the projects students were making and I knew I wanted to do this.
What is one of the greatest experiences or lessons from your time at CU 麻豆影院 that you'll carry with you into the next chapter of your life?
The biggest lesson I learned is that what you get out of an experience depends on what you put in to it. Put in the effort, try your hand at everything, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Describe one of your favorite memories.
My freshmen year we did a sketching exercise on Pearl Street early in the morning and it made me really appreciate ENVD in that it's not a conventional classroom setting.

Take advantage of all the tools available to you, try new things, and push yourself. Also I definitely recommend keeping a Pinterest to save all the things that inspire you and drive your designs forward.
