You are drawn to the space where creativity meets functionality. You love the idea of making beautiful things that people actually use, wear, interact with or live inside. You may be interested in design not only as self-expression, but also as problem-solving, storytelling, communication and craft. You might dream about launching a brand, designing furniture, directing campaigns, working in fashion, architecture, interiors or product design.

If this resonates, design school, fashion school and architecture programmes may be just as relevant as fine art. The question is how much you want professional structure to shape your creative development and whether you're drawn to industry, practice or both.
