Interior Design Interest!
Through our program, we have been exposed to a variety of project types that provide a comprehensive understanding of different design specialties, helping us refine our preferences and interests. Specifically, I have developed a strong interest in the design fields of hospitality, commercial, and retail
environments.
​
In hospitality design, I am particularly drawn to creating spaces that I can incorporate residential design and creating "Gesamtkunstwerk" by making a seamless connection between food and space.
​
Commercial design has captured my attention due to its focus on creating efficient, functional, and visually impactful spaces for businesses, offices, and corporate environments. I am interested in designing workspaces that foster productivity, collaboration, and innovation, while maintaining a professional and cohesive brand identity.
​
Retail design intrigues me because I have worked in it for a fair amount of time, so I have a deeper understanding of what needs to go into the design to develop spaces that attract customers and enhance the shopping experience.
