What a treat to meet Amor and Keisuke! Being a first-year student in the Graphic Design department, it was really inspiring to hear a personal success story that has its roots at City College. I enjoyed learning all about Amor and Keisuke's collective journey - Starting at City with their internships at Visual Asylum and Bennett Peji; their full scholarships to ArtCenter that lead to opportunities in Berlin and adventures at the Bauhaus; their passions for collaborative thinking and positive social impact, and their contributions in the Designmatters program; and finally their return to City College to pursue Future Studies.
Amor and Keisuke's presentation was full of
information and inspiration, but what struck me the most was their
teamwork, their tenacity and their refusal to take NO for an answer.
Amor gave a fantastic piece of professional advice (that's applicable to
any industry) when she said you have to create your own opportunities.
To succeed in any competitive field you have to think ahead and take
the initiative. And this creative team is living proof of that motto.
A few other tidbits that I found notable:
- Continue to build your virtual toolbox
- Always bring it back to the needs of the client
- Your OBSESSIONS are important
- Celebrate collaborative thinking
- Steps of design/creation process:
- Discovery
- Ideation
- Prototyping
- Implementation
