Become a Well Rounded Designer

Shape your Vision. Master your Craft. Design your Future.

I am grateful for the opportunity to take the FDC AI Training. First and foremost, I am grateful to my mentor, Ms. Sally Ogbonna. The various viewpoints, practical skills, and thought-provoking talks gave me a thorough grasp of how Midjourney can be smoothly integrated into the architecture sector, thereby improving my capacity to develop unique and visually attractive ideas. One of the course's highlights was the chance to see Architect Cosimo Scotucci of MVRDV present his distinct ideas and design approaches. The insights given revealed how a world-class design business is using AI-generated graphics to expedite their design process and push the limits of their creative expression.

Hildana Tefera (Ethiopia) Cohort 2 Mentee - Sponsored Participant

I visited my Mentor’s factory yesterday, and I was blown away by his space—it's a serene, industrial masterpiece. It's amazing how he's living the life I aspire to, inspiring me every step of the way. Thanks to FDC and this mentorship platform, I wouldn't have had this incredible opportunity otherwise. The FDC event wasn't just a meet and greet—it was a game-changer for me. My Mentor introduced me to his senior carpenter as his brother, and the warm welcome truly touched me. It's moments like these that remind me how even the smallest things can be answers to prayers. I see God as the ultimate Architect of the universe. Thank you again for this invaluable experience.

I first learned about the FDC through my mentor, and since then, it has had a profound impact on my career. Through FDC, I had the opportunity to collaborate with her firm, where I now work as one of the Architects specializing in design. FDC has been invaluable in expanding my professional network globally. Through this platform, I’ve managed to connect with other Architects, one of whom is Hildana from Ethiopia. The Collaborative has also equipped me with advanced technical skills, particularly through exposure to AI - like the MidJourney & Miro softwares, which has transformed my approach to architectural design. This knowledge has enabled me to integrate innovative technologies into my work.
