Reflection

  • This was an interesting week because I got to work on projects throughout varying phases of design, development, and documentation. Additionally, I was able to gain experience in a small aspect of practice management. Although prepping for awards / competitions do not always feel like the best use of your time, they are important exercises worth going through. They are good for rallying the firm / team building, identifying strengths, and remaining active within both the professional and local community.
