Philosophy



As a student designer I believe that design should not only come from the mind, but from the heart as well. Interior Design has been a part of my life since childhood, allowing myself to learn and become passionate about the career. The combination of bold ideas and interesting patterns inspire my love for a modern and classic type of design. In the future, my plan is to graduate from the Washington State University Interior Design program, work for an interior design firm, and later pursue my own Interior Design business.

During our Sutdy Tour in Seattle, we had the chance to go to various showrooms and places around the area. This includes the Seattle Design Center, DalTile, Pental, 3Form, Knoll, House of the Immediate Future, and EHS Design. Each place was unique in its own way and taught me something different. The Design Center I had been to before with my mom, but this time it was fun to be able to go there for my own purpose and see what the individual showrooms had to offer. It was cool to make these connections and learn about a place that we, as designers, can go and find products for clients. We also went to DalTile. This was exciting because they actually gave us a chance to find specific samples that interested us and have them shipped to school. I am excited to get the samples I picked out! Pental was cool to see more products and I thought it was cool how we could go into the back and look at all the slabs they had in their warehouse. These two places were really informative and taught me a lot in terms of where to find products for jobs. 3Form was one of my favorite places to go. I thought it was fascinating to see how they worked and made their products. The concept of transforming resign into lighting fixtures was amazing and I am so glad we got to experience their environment. Knoll was also a fun place to see office furniture and chairs that we cold put into our designs. We were able to go and see Habitat for Humanities House of the Immediate Future at the Seattle Center. I learned a lot about sustainable design here and I thought it was so interesting how they use the wet core in their design. I am excited to see the finished product that they come up with. Lastly we went to EHS Design and was given a tour of their office. I really enjoyed this experience and am so grateful for all of the companies who took time out of their schedules to give us tours of their work areas. This was an important part of the study tour in that now we know where we can find products for our future assignments and jobs.
