Student Profile

Angus Chow

The School provides great opportunities on how to learn to communicate with the private and public domain and work as a team. Through lectures and studio time, we are discovering for whom we are designing, responding to the client and presenting to audiences. It’s not just about ideas, it’s not just about design, it’s about making ideas happen.
