Looking back at this year, my journey feels like collecting puzzle pieces scattered across different boxes—each piece unique in shape, colour and texture. Some came from intense design challenges, others from unexpected moments of learning and a few from personal experiences that I did not realise were shaping me at the time. In the beginning, they all seemed disconnected, random and  even frustrating. But as I placed them together, a larger picture started emerging—one that made more sense than I had anticipated.
Each project, each struggle and each breakthrough added another piece to this evolving puzzle. The ideas that once felt isolated have now found their connections, forming a design language that feels deeply personal. It is no longer just about learning techniques or completing assignments—it is about understanding how everything interlocks, how every experiment and mistake contributes to the whole.
If I were to visualise this journey, I would see it as a tree—one where the leaves are puzzle pieces. Every experience, every bit of knowledge, is a leaf growing onto its branches. Some pieces are vibrant, representing moments of inspiration and clarity; others are textured, carrying the weight of challenges and persistence. But together, they shape something alive, something growing.
As I continue forward, I know there are still many missing pieces and gaps in the picture. But now, I trust the process. I know that every new piece will find its place, adding depth and meaning to the ever-evolving design that is mine.
