Goals and To-do lists when I get back to RISD

Goals for my senior year at RISD

1. first of all, my goal is to graduate with good grades and a good portfolio (and possibly with a dope job haha).

2. I want to sell my design at the market day. I think the market day is the equivalent of a festival that other normal schools get. We don't get a festival, but we get a market day.

3. Curating a student show. Since I have been seeing and experiencing countless galleries and museums in Europe that I have this passion and ideas for curating a show myself. I've been working for RISD museum and galleries and I think it's the time to maybe try to curate a show instead of always monitoring one.

4. Winning a design award. I met this design intern in Munich and he inspired me so much about winning a design award. He won numerous design awards, Korean and also international awards, that he now is an intern in Munich. He told me that it is a very rare case for a Korean student to intern outside of Korea especially when one does not speak fluent English (for his case, also German). One of the reasons why he was noticed by his company was because he had a solid portfolio with good presentation skills and resume with award winning experiences. According to him, winning awards is not too difficult. He would commit 3 days of time for a project with a concept. I think it would be great not to only focus in school work but also look into what other projects there are that the design community is working on.
