professional practice_ assignment 4.0
IIDA Design Days Event
For the networking assignment in professional practice I attended the Triad City Center's "Design Days", an event for both design students and professionals. The event was hosted by the Momentum Group, a textiles company located in Archdale, NC. First the students were presented with a presentation about textiles and the processes involved in designing and creating them. Following we were given a tour of the facility, which was very interesting because we saw how they create their own labeling and tags, how they organize and distribute memo samples of the fabric, and how they cut and fill orders that then get shipped off to the customer. After the tour, professionals of the organization provided helpful yet directed feedback on our resumes and portfolios. Following this portion of the event was a presentation about the etiquette for business effectiveness given by Elizabeth Ebihara.
