Junior year we had the opportunity to take a trip to New York with our class. During the trip, I was able to immerse myself in the city's vibrant energy and architecture. Our visit included exploring the Petco flagship store to study retail design strategies and touring the Steelcase showroom to gain insight into innovative office furniture and workplace solutions.

Beyond the planned visits, I explored the city on my own, soaking in its dynamic atmosphere and iconic architecture. This experience left me deeply inspired, sparking new ideas and a greater appreciation for the intersection of design, culture, and urban life.
