We love to encourage our community to experience new things as a way to inspire and enhance creativity in design and thinking; something our industry thrives on. We also believe strongly in the power of pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone.
This month I have asked some of our team, who work hard to inspire our Students every day, to share things for you to try this month. The idea is that one of these things may just kick start something wonderful for you, or simply give you an experience that makes you feel good about life.
