I have always loved interior design. Growing up it played a major role in my life as every house I lived in was remodeled from one end to the other. This gave me the opportunity to learn about interior design from my mom, dad and our designers, and has really inspired me today! Interior design allows a space to have a certain character or feeling, which can be established through many different design techniques and decorating styles. In the future I hope to succeed in designing a variety of interior spaces, making each special, and fit the particular feeling or style that that job requires. I can't wait to see where my passion for interior design takes me, and what the future has in store!

Designer Feedback

Looking for feedback on my one bedroom apartment design, I met with designer Heather Hanley Owner of Concept Home and The Tin Roof over Thanksgiving break in Spokane Washington.  She was very helpful as she went through my project with me as I presented my one bedroom design as a designer to her as a client.  Overall she liked my design, and materials I had chosen. She did advise me to remember to keep small spaces as open as possible as the space will appear larger.  In doing so in my apartment, she advised me to take out an existing wall to make a bar space to open the space more so from the entry way you can see the entire space which includes the entrance to the bedroom and bathroom, as well as a clear view into the open living room and kitchen area.  Meeting with Hanley was such an inspiration, and such a great learning opportunity to see what my future has in store!
