Reflection – Tutorials

Throughout this year, tutorials became an important space for reflecting on both my creative process and my personal development as a designer. Rather than focusing only on outcomes, the tutorials encouraged me to think more critically about decision making, material choices and the intentions behind my work. One of the most valuable points raised during tutorials was the importance of slowing down and allowing the process to remain visible. At the beginning of the year, I often focused too quickly on creating final outcomes and overlooked experimentation and documentation. Through conversations with tutors, I started to understand that uncertainty and trial are also meaningful parts of the design process. Another recurring discussion was around communication. I learned that documenting ideas through sketches, mind maps, photographs and reflective writing helped me understand my own process more clearly and communicate it more effectively to others. Overall, tutorials supported me in becoming more reflective, open and intentional in my practice. They helped me shift from thinking only about producing outcomes towards understanding design as an evolving process shaped by research, experimentation and critical reflection.
