DESIGNER STATEMENT: I believe that the best part of a design project is the process and that is because when I begin a project it is like I have begun a new adventure. For me, it is more like a discovery rather than a step by step process, Of course, I follow a process but the way the design comes is like I am discovering it rather than designing it. In my opinion, there is nothing more rewarding than discovering the answer to a problem that you have been breaking your head over. I have always been a very curious individual and when something challenging arises, I wonder how does it work or how can I improve upon it? This leads from one thing to another and next thing I know I have learned something new. Although, to be frank, trying something new does increase the chances of failure, however, the greatest discoveries did not happen because they got it in the first try, instead, after learning from earlier failed attempts. I have learned so much in the process of getting to where I am, and I know there is so much more to learn. That is why I look forward to the future that awaits me and the many more things I will discover on the way.
