The first week of building my Study Abroad in Korea Survival Kit has been an eye-opening experience.

I went in thinking the hardest part would be coming up with content, but the bigger challenge was narrowing down what truly belongs in my MVP (minimum viable product) versus what can wait as “nice-to-have” extras.

In Week 1, I explored three possible digital products: a Social Media Template Bundle, an Academic Planner, and a Korea Travel Kit. That stage was all about understanding the market and identifying opportunities where I could apply both design and personal experience.

I’ve always been drawn to the space where creativity and business overlap. More specifically, where design isn’t just about looking nice, but about actually solving problems and making people’s lives easier.
