Exchange Elisava, Barcelona
During my exchange at Elisava, I broadened my perspective on industrial design and acquired skills in areas that TU/Eindhoven (where I completed my bachelor) does not focus on. I delved into CAD design, industrial processes for product development, and a material-driven design approach. These new insights and skills have greatly expanded my design capabilities.
Moreover, the exchange was a step outside my comfort zone. I had to communicate in a different language and follow classes in a language I didn’t speak. This experience made me more independent and taught me to ask for help when needed. The experience has significantly enhanced my personal and professional growth.
