This Pre-Master program has reinforced my desire to deepen my understanding of learning development design and research how design can help to create learning experiences that promote a lifelong learning mentality. Reflecting on the past six months, I am pleased with the personal growth I’ve experienced and proud of the person I have become. However, I recognize that there is still much to learn, and I am eager to continue my education at the Technical University Eindhoven. 

I am particularly interested in exploring how technology can be leveraged to enhance learning experiences. My goal is to acquire additional skills in Technology and Realization, and further develop into Data, Math, and Computing, by continuing learning about programming and data visualization. Simultaneously, I am keen on understanding how design can serve as a powerful tool for learning, emphasizing the acquisition of skills related to user and society, creativity, and aesthetics. To pursue this academic interest, I am excited to commence my master’s studies at the Department of Industrial Design. 

In addition to my academic pursuits, I am looking forward to expanding my career as a freelancer. Since August 2023, I have been operating a one-man company specializing in graphic and product design. Drawing from the insights gained in business and entrepreneurship, I aim to grow my portfolio and enhance my client management skills. 

On a personal level, I aspire to develop leadership abilities by learning effective team management. I am also dedicated to personal growth, aiming to gain a deeper awareness of my limits, weaknesses, strengths, and talents. My overarching goal is to mature as a designer, sharpen my critical thinking skills, and become more adept at evaluating and refining my ideas promptly, distinguishing those with potential from those that do not.
