The FIND program helped me decide on my path through just letting me explore all the different types of design and see which one I resonated with the most.

“My name is Rebekah Mercs. I completed the FIND program, and I am now in my third year of the Product Design program at the Wilson School of Design. Walking into the space, it feels very welcoming. It feels like coming into space where you get to collaborate with other students, work on your projects, learn, meet new people, and just explore design.”

“We got to do projects in graphic design, fashion design, interior design, and product design. And so, exploring a little bit of each one and kind of narrowing it down from there really helped me land on product design as a future career path.”

“I highly recommend taking the FIND program. I’m really happy I did it. I had a great experience and it’s just a great way to explore design at a higher level and understand where you want to go from there.”
