“Being at Eastern allowed me to explore creativity and my capabilities with support and encouragement from my peers.”

“School allows you to immerse yourself in design and for me, the best part of that was being surrounded by other people that were just as interested in design as me.”

“Discover your design niche—whatever it is you’re passionate about within the broad world of design—and really use it! Not only will it help you stand out from the crowd, but you’ll stay saner in the process.”

“The Design Program gave me all of the tools I needed to start my journey, and my mentors within the Design Program gave me a lot of insights that helped me avoid common pitfalls. I don’t think I’d have been as successful as quickly if it weren’t for the program.”
