It’s hard to believe that I’ve already completed one semester of medical school, a dream you’ve held for so many years. As you read this, I’m sure you’ve been on a tremendous journey of self-growth and reflection, with experiences that have sculpted you into the person you’ve always aspired to become.

Embarking on this MDes Degree has truly been a transformative experience, surpassing my wildest expectations. These past eighteen months have marked a profound period of growth and self-actualisation. I am deeply grateful and would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Aaron Fry and the entire staff at the design school for their unwavering support, invaluable guidance, mentorship, and approachability. The design school at the University of Auckland is undoubtedly a special place, and I am privileged to be a part of it.
