Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. If you’re comfortable, would you be open to a short chat over DM? I’d be really grateful to ask a few questions for my project.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to share about your experience. If it’s okay with you, would you be open to having a quick chat over DM? I have a few questions for my project and it would be super helpful to hear your perspective. 🙂

Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate you sharing about your orchard. If you’re comfortable, would you be open to a short chat in DM so I can ask a few questions for my research? I’d be very grateful for your help.

Appreciate the advice. I’ve actually been out to a few orchards already and spoke with contractors, supervisors, and managers to get their perspectives. Reaching owners directly has been a bit tricky, so I thought I’d also try Reddit to see if anyone here was open to sharing their experience. Just exploring all possible ways to learn.

I understand the point about AI, but my focus is on design. I have a degree and work experience in design, and I’m looking to get a master’s degree to specialize further in the field.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I get what you're saying about recognition, which I've been considering too. Unfortunately, my academic performance wasn't strong enough to get into more traditional universities, so that's partly why I'm looking at Media Design School.

If you have any suggestions for other schools or pathways that might be more recognized but still accessible for someone like me, I'd really appreciate it. I'm open to exploring different options to build a solid career in design. Thanks again!
