“Chowan played a significant role in preparing me for the design world. The university provided practical experiences, such as mock interviews, design-client interactions, and public critiques, which helped me develop real-world skills and confidence. These experiences were instrumental in shaping my abilities as a designer and building my professional acumen. ”
