Here I am, typing this post sitting in a service apartment (apartment hotel as some might know it). As I mentioned in my previous post.. that we designers most of the time have the urge to make things look pretty before starting.
But I personally have another hurdle to cross before I get this blog started - starting on a blank slate. Now that I am in Seoul, Korea what better way to start off than narrating observations from a completely new & exciting experience of being in a new place.
I am hoping that this trip will give me a lot to write about. This is the first other country in Asia that I am visiting other than my own - India.
Just to give you a background of why I am here. Currently I am interning at Samsung Design Europe which is based out of London. Every year Samsung organizes a workshop called the Global Membership Workshop. They invite students from partnering institutions & interns who are interning at that time in their overseas design studios in 5 different locations. Most of the participants have previously doing some background work on a particular brief and present their initial ideas to the entire community. The workshop is a platform for each of these groups from different locations to build upon their own ideas with the help of experts and mentors from Samsung Headquarters.
So thats a small introduction of why I am in Seoul. Stay tuned to see and hear more about my experience here.
