I already knew Milan was a wonderful place, but it becomes so much better once you get past the jetlag!
This past week, I genuinely had a chance to experience the city through all the tours, outings, and gelatos. Some of the highlights, for me, were Lake Como and our tour to Studio FM Milan. Meeting with Cristiano Bottino was perhaps my favorite thing so far. I LOVED the way he told stories about his work. I was able to dissect the framework – I will be using it to update my portfolio soon.
Recently, an employee at a shop asked me what my favorite part of Milan was. I said the public transit. She smiled wide; I think this was the correct answer. I’m so grateful by how easy it is to get around, either by walking, metro, or tram. It’s inconvenient to have a car. I wish Austin had this level of accessibility to public transport!
It’s a gift to be surrounded by design, and in the company of such good people. It’s helped me breathe new life into my craft and discipline. I can’t wait to see how it reshapes my work.
