Introduction

I have created this blog to display my works to my friends, family and interior design professionals. I hope that my work will get me noticed in the interior design profession as a potential candidate for an internship. I have always had a passion for interior design. Working in small spaces like my room to big ones like my house. I hope to expand my education in design to learn more about what I can do in the design field. It is my dream to eventually own my own design firm in Burlington, Vermont.

Designer Review

For my designer review I met with an interior designer at Sechrist Design Firm in Seattle. I throughly enjoyed meeting with him. He gave me a tremendous amount of feedback which helped improve my floor plans and color schemes. I really liked being able to sit down with him one on one and have him either correct or improve my plans, due to the fact that they will help me in my design and my for my future skills as a designer. After showing him my materials boards, he helped me decide which ones were more suitable for a residential apartment and which were not. He also gave me the name of a few showrooms where i can get samples of products to use in my design that not only work but are cost affective as well. He gave me a whole new outlook on my design. Due to the fact that money was not an problem when designing my apartment and common space, I used different and unique materials. But after speaking with him about some of the cost issues of his previous design's and my material's. he helped me find materials like flooring that may look like wood, but aren't and are a whole lot cheaper. I really enjoyed meeting with him, and hope to get more advice from him in on my future projects.
