What I really liked about this program was the practical knowledge that allowed me to slowly build and change my ideas over the course of the program while also providing me with the foundational knowledge I needed. I feel well equipped to continue to pursue my vision, and I believe that with a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck, I can see that vision come to life.
