“My year at Domus Academy threw me into the deep end in the best way. Under the guidance of Francesco Sorrentino and Can Uzuner, not to mention a treasure trove of industry experts, I was able to gain learning and experience at the same time in a way that effectively prepared me for my professional career”.
