# Design Studio I

Our week in the Design Studio Intro began with an insightful overview of what the course entails and some valuable recommendations to reach a progress:

* [x] Take risks
* [x] Reach out and ask questions
* [x] Build trust early
* [x] Focus on what truly matters to you
* [x] Progress step by step
* [x] Be hands-on and experimental

I’m eager to apply these suggestions throughout the course. While I do feel some apprehension about the potential challenges of connecting with locals, I’m trying to approach it with enthusiasm and a sense of adventure.
