It Runs in the Family
My dad next to a roto vaporizer machine. Fast-forward 20 years and I’m following in his footsteps…except whereas he’s probably creating the next miracle drug, I’m using the machine to make tomato soup.
Science runs deep in the Dong family. I’m essentially the first to venture out into the dangerous and uncharted territory that is a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Despite this seemingly rebellious move, I was once a double-major in Biology before I realized that you can’t spend 6 hours in studio and 6 hours in a lab everyday without going insane.
One of the biggest things I’ve realized in design is that you don’t have to have a major in something to be an expert on it. I’m much more interested in the big picture and practical application of science as opposed to nitty-gritty details. Throughout college it’s been a smash-and-grab of taking the science extracurriculars with the important knowledge and leaving the rest. Plus, hells if I’m ever going through Organic Chemistry (there’s computers for that crap).
