Pro-President's

Our institution stands at the intersection of tradition and innovation, ensuring that our students are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and adaptability to thrive in an ever-evolving creative landscape. As Pablo Picasso famously stated, “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.” Through interdisciplinary learning, industry collaborations, and global partnerships, we continue to push boundaries, explore new perspectives, and redefine the future of design. It is the unwavering dedication and mentorship of our esteemed faculty and staff, that plays a vital role in shaping young minds and upholding the culture of excellence that sets our university apart.

To our students, I encourage you to embrace curiosity, question conventions, and let your imagination lead the way. Every project is an opportunity to make a difference, every classroom a space for exploration, and every collaboration a stepping stone for growth. Remember the words of Frank Gehry: “Your best work is your expression of yourself. Now, you may not be the greatest at it, but when you do it, you’re the only expert.”

As we move forward, let us continue to dream big, create fearlessly, and innovate with purpose. The future of design lies in our collective vision, and I have no doubt that together, we will leave a lasting impact on the world. As the legendary Charles Eames said, “The details are not the details. They make the design.”

Wishing you all a year filled with inspiration, success, and ground breaking ideas.
