Collaborating on interdisciplinary teams of students and doing such impactful work for the small business owners of Detroit was an experience that made me a better designer, community member, and prepared me to enter the job market more confidently. I appreciate the trust you put in all of us to do this work. It means everything to be taken seriously, trusted with real clients, and see the fruits of your labor.
Great program! The team of students was delightful to work with – full of enthusiasm. They were professional and well-organized, dedicated to regularly scheduled meetings and each team member was responsible for certain tasks. We were thrilled with the results of their research and the recommendations that they presented to us.
