From mentoring powerhouse women within classrooms to navigating the ever-changing design industry, we take a closer look into the vital roles of mentors and universities in shaping the next generation of successful designers.

Venturing beyond the world of academia, Bhakti shares insights and experience in writing an award-winning research paper that focuses on urban planning and social cohesion in the vibrant Dubai community.

Shifting gears, we bridge the gap between theory and real-world practice by delving into the transformative power of internships as a gateway to offer students hands-on experience in real projects.
