On this week’s episode I’m talking to the talented Carolina Cristallo, a fresh graduate from the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. Carolina and I actually graduate together from Graphic Design on July of 2022 (which feels like a decade ago) and on this episode we talk about out experience at the Academy, how formal education shaped us, being a working student working at the institution you study, being an international student sand much more.

BONUS! This episode was recorded at the podcasting room of the WdKA using a RodecasterPro meaning we have sound effects :P

On this interview we spoke about:

• Carolina’s Graduation project about gentrification and the role of creatives in it
• Finding your position as a creative
• Using your privilege to have impact on others
• Building trust and connection during the design process
• Studying and working as a PAL at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, Netherlands
• The value of exchanges as part of creative process and creative education
