this design studio has taught me more in a quarter than any lecture could have. we learned by doing; which means we learned by making mistakes. mistake after mistake taught me how to anticipate challenges & always push through them. i learned first that as a designer i show how much i care about something through my actions & through my craft in my work. secondly, i learned that design is a combination of thinking outside of the box along with thinking rationally. each decision i make as a designer needs to be thought out and incorporated into the design.

megan lizarragais a proud survivor of Arch 131. she states that studio has changed her life as she previously knew it. megan now looks at sleep as a leisurely activity & caffeine as fuel for success. she would like to thank Starbucks & 24-hour Subway for their constant support.
