About

As a Service Design student, the Across RCA course was a fresh and inspiring experience for me. In Professor Alice’s class, I got to experiment with hands-on creative work, which was different from my usual design process. But what influenced me the most was working with teammates from different backgrounds.

My team included students from Art History, Product Design, and Innovative Engineering Design. Each of us had a different way of thinking, and through discussions and collaboration, I learned to see things from new perspectives. Together, we explored mental health and co-created <Mind Gap>, an art therapy book. This experience made me realize that design is not just about finding solutions—it’s also about learning from others, sharing ideas, and discovering new possibilities along the way.
