Joaquin, MSD 2002
Researcher and Chair, Master's Program
Autonomous University of the State of Mexico

Why did I select the MSD Program?
I selected the MSD program at ASU because I was attracted by the idea of being exposed to a different culture and the different perspective afforded by studying in a graduate program of design in a foreign country.

What was the most significant learning experience in the MSD Program?
The most significant learning experience in the MSD Program was the ability that it provided me to engage in research in order to contribute to the development of knowledge in design practice.

How did earning the MSD assist me in my present position?
Earning the MSD allowed me to work in academia with a broader perspective of the design, a direction that requires a practice-based investigation in order to improve the quality of life and of products.
