TTwo years in college, and almost two years and six months in work. I have approximately 4.5 years of experience as a designer now. I count my college time as my experience-gaining time as well, because once you enter a design school, the learning starts, and it doesn’t stop after that. Ever.

Even on my job, I learn something new every day, and it has been like that since years now. This field never ceased to surprise me, and I still come across many new elements that I didn’t know about. But when I look back at the time when I was finding a job, immediately after college, I now realise what I could have done better, and what I lacked.
