I want to express my sincere thanks to the Erasmus Commission for giving me the opportunity to participate in this project, which has had a significant impact both on a personal and professional level. As I had imagined from the beginning, this experience was fundamental to improve my language skills. I have had the opportunity to confront myself with the language on a daily basis in different contexts, and it has undoubtedly been an enormous growth opportunity for my level of communication.
From a professional point of view, working in a design studio was extremely challenging. I was fortunate to work with a team of talented designers, each with their own style and creative approach. This continuous exchange of ideas gave me the opportunity to learn how to see design from different perspectives and enrich my work experience. I have also learned a lot about the importance of working together in a dynamic environment, where creativity and speed in tackling daily challenges are crucial.
In particular, this experience has allowed me to sharpen my skills for working under pressure. Tight deadlines and the need to deliver high quality projects in a short time have led me to improve my time management and develop a more organised and strategic approach. I firmly believe that this has had a positive impact not only on my professional training, but also on my personal growth. I have learned to better manage stressful situations and give my best even in difficult times. Another positive aspect I would like to highlight was the opportunity to discover and visit two extraordinary cities such as Eindhoven and Rotterdam. Each city offered unique experiences, both culturally and architecturally. Eindhoven, with its vocation for technological innovation and design, has inspired me with its numerous art installations and the strong sense of modernity that permeates every corner of the city. Rotterdam, on the other hand, has surprised me with its avant-garde architecture and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Both cities have offered me interesting insights, which I am sure will influence my future work in a positive way.
In conclusion, I can say without a doubt that this Erasmus experience has not only allowed me to grow as a professional but also to broaden my cultural and personal horizons.
I am grateful for every opportunity that has been offered to me and the people I have met during this time, and hope to have more opportunities of this kind in the future.
