Business degree revealed my true passion for design

Pursuing a business degree at Toronto Metropolitan University led me to a surprising discovery: I’m a creative soul through and through! I have always enjoyed expressing myself artistically, and after my first year of business lectures, I realized that I needed to reconnect with that creative side to feel truly fulfilled. My syllabus didn’t include any specialized design courses, so I took matters into my own hands—exploring the campus, building connections, and seeking out opportunities to flex my creative muscles.

Along the way, I learned the intricacies of visual communication that enhance the appeal of a product, paying special attention to creating a clear and engaging visual hierarchy.
