Ashleen Nee

Bachelor of Arts in Product Design

Galway City – Wellpark Road

Transitioning from secondary school to college, I was apprehensive about replicating the institutionalised environment. However, ATU proved to be a liberating experience, fostering curiosity, originality, and autonomy.

The most fulfilling aspect was the freedom to create meaningful projects and tackle real-world problems, with feedback from peers and lecturers nurturing confidence and innovation. Despite its small size, the School of Design and Creative Arts campus exuded a vibrant community spirit, fostering lifelong friendships and memorable experiences.

Now at Accenture, my role as a Consulting Development Analyst blends design skills with technology to drive impactful change. ATU’s emphasis on hands-on learning prepares students for real-world challenges, instilling confidence and fostering a culture of innovation.
