Startup Adventures Abroad
Titus Chin, a third-year Product Design and Innovation student, spent a semester in Silicon Valley where he interned for a start-up, Biruni Designs. A semester abroad may seem intimidating, with work and culture differences, but through this startup experience, Titus has gained a clearer sight of his future entrepreneurship goals in the leather-crafting business.
“Being the only Junior Designer, I was in charge of many different aspects of the design process. All these experiences were first-hand classes on entrepreneurship. I've learnt so many things I never imagined I’d have, made friends I’d never forget, and grown as an individual. The year in entirety has been memorable, from working for a company that values every individual equally, living in a new environment, having road-trips with my buddies, eating good food, to going for concerts. All of these made up a wonderful and – I would go ahead and say it – the best year of my life,” said Titus.
