Summary
In Fall 2024, a collaborative design research studio project was tasked to me and my project partner. We began this semester with researching problem spaces all over the world, looking for possible design solutions for them. Me and my partner both found a similar problem space in food waste with general consumers. We discovered that besides the typical American wasting tons of food each year we found that there aren't a whole lot of sustainable ideas to have less waste, more taste. Thus began our research project to understand the problem, and design a reliable solution using design research methods.

Key Takeaways
Flexibility in the workplace comes from trust and communication. Being able to clearly and concisely communicate my needs makes it easier on everyone not just me.
Adaptability in the workplace is crucial to success even if you don't want to do it. People are willing to teach you new experiences and that will give you a knowledge boost, never turn down experiences that will teach you new things.
Collaboration is a crucial building block for my professional development. They aren't going to bite, take some chances, learn new experiences, connect with some new amazing people.
