Working on the "Ethereal Glow" lighting collection has been an incredibly formative experience, blending creativity with practical design challenges. This project offered a profound understanding of how handcrafted elements and sustainability can coexist in modern design. One of the most valuable lessons I've learned is the significance of even the smallest design details and their ability to transform the overall impact of a product.


Throughout the project, I faced various design challenges that required constant reassessment and innovation. This process reinforced the importance of functionality alongside aesthetics, ensuring that each piece was not only visually striking but also practical for everyday use. My mentor’s guidance was crucial in understanding consumer preferences and the market potential of our designs, highlighting how minor adjustments could elevate a product’s appeal.


Additionally, the project deepened my understanding of how to align with a brand's unique identity while pushing creative boundaries. Over the course of these two months, "Ethereal Glow" taught me that design is a continuous journey of refinement, where adaptability and attention to detail are key to achieving excellence.
