In the following academic year I will be remaining within the TU/e, taking electives for the first semester, and aim to complete my bachelor. I chose this option as I believe this institution still has much to offer me in regards to academic development. I would want to dive further into ‘Game Design’ and also ‘Sustainability Design’, to try to find a link between the two, which I believe is still possible at the TU/e. Ideally this would also be the year in which I try to find some career options, so that when I complete my masters degree I have a more concrete plan to what the next steps will be. Speaking of master's degrees I would prefer to follow one outside of Eindhoven, and broaden my horizons. More than likely this would be somewhere within the Netherlands, though I have not looked into much what the possibilities would be.

Outside of academics I want to pursue my interests more seriously, by working on some personal projects even if they are not directly design related. It would be a good place to practice being more confident in my work and refine my identity as a designer. One such project could be to write a book, or a collection of short stories, as it has always been a fascination. Ultimately I want to be known for giving meaning to products that seek it, and provide that intangible value completely devoid of the physical body.
