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!

Over spring break I visited a wood museum called Knock on Wood located in Tokeland, WA.  Jeffro Uitto is the owner and wood worker of his successful wood workshop as his works are known throughout the country as he travels from show to show.  One of his pieces of work was one of the top picks for being placed in the Frank Lloyd Wright house.  He did all kinds of wood working from interior decorations such as bird houses and decorative pieces to life size exterior pieces such as horses, giraffes, and whales. All of his works of art are made from driftwood ranging from different sizes and shapes.  Overall he is a very talented man, and I am so lucky to not only have been able to see his work but his upcoming work and the workshop as a whole was amazing to see.
