In thinking about a personal "manifesto" I think first about the fact that I haven't been a professional in the industry for long enough to have a fully formulated manifesto, so instead I wanted to treat this as an exploration and expound upon a list of ten key points that I have learned or acknowledged since entering school in 2006 (some of which I still have to remind myself of quite frequently), and what I think could possibly assist a newer design student in their journey down a similar path.
