At my professional immersion experience, the mission of what I’m doing with LightThink is to make meaningful design. At the beginning we started somewhere completely different to where we are now and where we plan on going. We’re creating new ways to look at GCE and Chicago as a whole. Along with my coworker and host, we come up with different ways to look at a problem and how we can solve not only that problem alone but other problems connected as well. I usually don’t like history but through this experience, I’m learning that what I educate myself on can spark new ideas and help me in the long run, this has made me more patient.
In this P.I.E, I’m also learning valuable business, entrepreneurial skills which I think would 100 percent help me in the future. My biggest takeaways would have to be paying attention to detail and focusing in on things, even if it isn’t completely engaging. A lot of times, I found out that what we’re learning is easily applicable to a widespread audience, and not just what I’m doing. I will use these skills to be bold with what I do and make it into something big and limitless.Innovation and thoughtfulness has been something that has been the backbone of our process.
