Hear from our students and alumni

How did I get here? Hear recounts by our students and alumni of their journey in NAFA, from enrolment to graduation and beyond.

My journey at NAFA has been filled with both challenges and growth, and every obstacle has shaped me into the designer I am today. As the saying goes, “A blue fly, if it clings to the tail of a thoroughbred horse, can travel ten thousand miles, and the green ivy that twines around the tall pine can grow to a thousand feet.” In the same way, the support of my comrades and lecturers has carried me further than I could have gone alone. At NAFA, you’ll find yourself surrounded by a community of talented creatives who will inspire and guide you to take that leap of faith and watch as new doors of opportunity open before you.

As a design student, it is easy to get caught up in the beauty of design rather than asking the tougher questions about how our work can make a meaningful difference. At NAFA, I learned that design is about solving problems, building communities, and telling stories that might otherwise go unheard. My lecturers gave me the confidence to challenge conventions, while my peers became collaborators, critics, and friends who pushed me to grow through risk, uncertainty, and curiosity. Receiving this recognition is an honour, but my greatest takeaway is the confidence to keep asking those difficult questions because in an era where any answer is only a prompt away, what will always distinguish great designers is the purpose behind what we create.
