Past Experience
I have always enjoyed drawing and sketching in my free time. I attended art school for more than 12 years, so I already had some knowledge in sketching and crafting products. I participated in a local competition, designing a keychain souvenir for my town and ending up in 3rd place.

Bachelor
As part of my preparation for design school, I had to do some design projects. The designs were related to mobility; however, I did not know much about the design process at the time. I sketched cars, mostly with my custom designs, taking inspiration from existing cars, which made me more interested in car design.
Throughout my bachelor's, I had the opportunity to meet and work with people from different backgrounds and a variety of expertise. I have improved in different hard skills, such as 3D modelling, 3D printing, woodworking, sketching, programming, working with electronics, and many more. In most of these skills, I had no prior experience; therefore, it felt overwhelming at times to start and achieve realistic results within the given timeframes and deadlines. I improved massively in working in different teams and groups, which in turn sharpened my communication and collaboration skills.
