From the first day I started classes, I have been trained in areas that have pushed me forward; not only as a designer, but also as a person, as it allows me to research many areas and learn constantly. They have taught me the fields in which design can have an influence, giving us the reasons why we should be closely linked to society, other fields of work and the environment. What I like most about Product Design is that it is in the middle of many different areas and can be the glue between them all.
