Kurani

Architecture & Design Research Intern

January - May 2021 • Cambridge, MA

What I liked

Kurani's take on the design and research process is super refreshing, and I loved how there was such a focus on how designers can design to improve human experiences. During my internship, I felt like a valuable team member, and I could even begin to see the tangible impact my work was having on communities.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have seen more of the larger community response to the project I was working on.

Advice

Communication is so important! Because team members are working remotely from around the world, it is super necessary to keep in active communication so that projects flow smoothly.
