Hi! I’m Aditi, a product designer from Mumbai, India. In this video, I speak about how I got into TU Delft, Aalto University, Politecnico di Milano, and Umeå Institute of Design. I share examples from my portfolio along with my approach to letters of motivation, interviews, and scholarships.

But before that, I spent eight months applying to some of my dream Design Strategy and Interaction Design master's programmes across Europe. Whether you're applying in the coming cycle or just starting to explore your options, I hope this video makes the process feel a little less overwhelming.
