I graduated from SCFD in 2024 and currently work as an Assistant Designer at a garment trading company. After graduation, my first job was as a Design Assistant at a designer studio. It was my first real experience of the design industry, and it taught me that bringing an idea to life requires not only creativity, but also attention to detail, patience, and the ability to follow through.

A year later, I moved to a garment trading company, where I became involved in a more complete product development process and began working across different teams. From developing design concepts and samples to communicating with colleagues, I gradually came to understand that design is not simply about creative expression—it is also about bringing resources together, solving problems, and responding to the needs of the market.

Looking back, my experience at SCFD gave me a solid foundation for my career. Beyond professional knowledge and design skills, I developed independence, time-management skills, and the ability to work as part of a team. These have all become incredibly valuable when facing challenges at work and have helped me continue learning and growing in a fast-changing environment.

I haven’t been out of university for very long, but every challenge and experience at work has helped me understand my direction a little better. For now, I’m still exploring different possibilities and building experience with an open mind. Through each new opportunity, I hope to continue developing my own design style and values while finding a career path that feels right for me.
