Few Testimonials

After my research thesis semester, I was so confused regarding what topic to choose and which way to work further in my design thesis, you didn’t only solve all my questions but you also shared your perspective regarding this upcoming semester, which was the best part of your workshop. The other thing I loved is, you made us clear about so many other little things which we are gonna face during our thesis. I am grateful for that! 😇 I am glad that I’ve got to attend this workshop 😊

The workshop was very insightful . I was not able to frame my thesis ideas properly and was struggling with the topic selection itself. The workshop gave me a very clear idea about what kind of topic i should be taking up. It also gave me a very clear idea about how to go ahead with my site selection. I wish it was longer and that i could get guidance for design stage as well .
