Hi!
My name is Jules ๐๐ผโโ
This semester, Iโm studying Collaborative and Industrial Design at Aalto University in Finland as part of my M2.1 exchange. Ever since walking across Aaltoโs exhibitions at DDW, Iโve been curious about studying design there.๐ซ๐ฎ
Being here has taught me many hands-on skills due to the wide range of workshops. The Aalto approach to design, with creativity and critical thinking so intertwined, has taught me a new perspective on design. It had inspired me to try out more multidisciplinary approaches to my design process!๐ท๐ผโโ๏ธ
Outside of class, Iโve been trying new things, from weekend hikes in the forest to enduring the sauna and cold dips in the sea. The culture here is to be very connected with your surroundings, and the balance between nature and daily life is amazing!๐๏ธ
This experience has been both grounding and inspiring, and Iโm really grateful to be learning from such a unique design culture.๐
