During her visit at Design Studio, Nacif gained valuable insights into the company’s cutting-edge marketing strategies and creative processes. The company’s leaders provided a comprehensive overview of their portfolio, research methodologies and design procedures, offering an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse into their daily operations.

The company then challenged participants to craft a brand statement, define personality traits and create a mood board that would serve as the cornerstone for their design initiatives.

“This immersive experience provided a deep understanding of Design Studio’s approach to design and marketing, leaving a lasting impression on my creative perspective,” said Nacif.
