I am a recent graduate of Interior design, seeking full time employment.
I believe as an interior designer the focus of a design is based on function, safety and aesthetics. With a focus on function and detailed design, interior design should be a reflection of the client’s style and chosen aesthetic creating a personalized design. Through the use of elements such as detail, symmetry and color, as well as various other aspects, a timeless design is created. In addition, creating spaces that are beautiful, inviting and livable are elements to a successful design. My personal design style is inspired by a reflection of elements of nature. Through the application of natural woods, an earthy color palette selection, and components of sustainability, nature is incorporated into the spaces to design a comfortable environment. The intended outcome is for the client to enter the space which will leave a lasting impression.
