My name is Alexia Malina Balan and I am a Second Year student at IED Firenze, Italy, learning Interior and Furniture Design. I was always a very creative person and starting from middle school I knew I wanted to become a designer, so for that reason, I went to an Art Highschool back home in Timisoara, Romania.
There I studied Architecture and Ambiental Design, years that thought me the basics and model making. After finishing high school, I knew I wanted to go for something more creative rather than technical, even though I still approach today's projects in a more technical way, ironically.
Therefore I decided to study in Italy since it has so many icons that I could learn from. Currently, I am doing an Erasmus in Barcelona, Spain, an experience that is making me broaden my knowledge even more in the design world.
