Reflecting on the journey of the Home Automation module, it was definitely one with joy and doubts. Joy because I always get to find out something I didn't know before, or strengthen my ideas and concept of what I believed all the time. Doubts because sometimes I'm really confuse and not sure of what am I doing and what should I do at the moment, and when I handed out my work, it seemed to differ from what others think of. Sometimes I tend to automatically neglect some technical parts, or try to avoid them and lead it to others. Thank god that Yanning was capable and willing to use her knowledge and aid us in this part. 

As this journey comes to an end, I wanted to extend my gratitude to Mr Yusri and my teammates, without them, I surely have no courage to write down that fullstop. Thank god that I was taking the IoT module at the same time, this chance has definitely made up my lackings in technical knowledge. Now I can firmly say that I can understand the IoT system infastructure more than before, despite being a designer. 

I had a special feeling that we spatial designers design experiences for users, in terms of entertainment and in terms of living. A home living design is so much crucial as it supports the daily routine of a family who lives in it. If we fail to deliver it than how bold for us to claim to be designers. I had always loved to watch those Japanese house renovation shows, where a group of Japanese architectures are committed to renovate and redesign living spaces for the audience. Althought they are not much related to home automation, but in their design, every corner reveals their attentiveness to details, and their focus on putting user's needs at the first place. It moves and motivates me to strive to become a designer like this, who is always careful to details, and work hard to come out with a user centric design. 

I believe that it is the same concept when it comes to smart environment. When designing experiences, of course the audience will be the one who experience it, that's why focusing on their feelings and expectations is a must. 

In toto, this journey has brought me a lot of insights, not only technical knowledge and practical application, but strengthens my concept and focus to becoming a designer. We are not barely people who produce beautiful art, but more, people who create mesmerising experiences.
