“For me, my time at Domus Academy is closely tied to my connection with the city of Milan. It was like diving straight into the heart of Italian design, and it opened up a whole new world of culture, tradition, and a different way of seeing the profession. It really left a mark on me and made a huge difference in my journey. It’s hard to explain, but I felt a real shift and personal growth during that period.”
