Chapter Twenty-five: Week 25

Week Twenty-five Reflections

Although the week was short, it was rich with connection, reflection and meaningful design work. Saying “see you later” to the artists and residents at the start of the week was bittersweet, as much as I cherish the energy, conversations, and relationships we build together, it was refreshing to have a little more space to fully dive into my own design projects. With that focus, I was able to strengthen my bonds with both the French office and the American team through steady, purposeful communication each day. As the weeks pass, I’m learning more about how priorities naturally shift and how time itself doesn’t change—but how we choose to use it, with clarity and intention, makes all the difference in achieving both creative growth and deeper professional connections.
