‘Become an instrument to others.’

This phrase will always be something I’ll hold on to, ingrained from experience, yet not fully fulfilled – I want to continue striving every day to become one.

My name is Angelica Navarro, studying Bachelor of Design (Branded Environments) at the Swinburne University of Technology.

Life’s a learning journey is it not? And it’s a gift to be able to design, even in its short or long term. Being able to take inspiration to generate concepts from sketches, to further developing such experiences by bringing them to life – is a form of connection and self-expression. And even from the smallest of projects – we are all designing within an environment for the people.

Whether or not I continue to take on the path of a designer – throughout my time in design, I genuinely believe in its ability to help others and its power to create moments.
