Basically, they often don’t want to invest too much effort in a student. Typically, actually, our university assist with this project by connecting students with companies and refrigeration projects usually beginning in September. I finally found a brand. Thanks to my university. Which was interested in collaborating, but, unfortunately, that’s August. The company we drove the year offer. I was incredibly stressed because it was a difficult situation, but I managed to stay calm and composed. I decided to visit various design brands myself.

Four years ago, I was searching for a design brand to collaborate with for my graduation project. It was challenging to find a design firm willing to work with students. They often don't want to invest much effort in a student. Typically, our university assists with this project by connecting students with companies, and these projects usually begin in September. I finally found a brand, thanks to my university, which was interested in collaborating, but unfortunately, it was August. The company we were hoping to work with that year had already filled their quota. I was incredibly stressed because it was a difficult situation, but I managed to stay calm and composed. I decided to visit various design brands myself, introduce myself, and showcase my portfolio. In the end, I received offers from four different high-quality design brands. There were two lighting design firms, one toy design firm, and one electronic device design firm. I am still proud of myself for that experience because many students would have gotten overwhelmed and simply abandoned their graduation project. It was a valuable lesson for me because I learned that I should always trust myself.
