Changing the world, one wall section at a time.

I chose to pursue interior design because it seemed to satisfy my need to be creative and practical. It is also a service oriented field- meeting people's needs and improving their livelihood. Many people immediately picture HGTV when I say interior design. Some shows are true to the trade, but most involve a little fung shui, a paint brush, and an eye for color. There's a lot of branches of interior design, and redecorating for the rich & famous is one of them, but that isn't where my heart is. My heart is in improving spaces for people that need a positive environment to lift their spirits.... Like bringing in a brand new school to a low-income neighborhood, to get kids excited about going to school because it's so beautiful and cool! I would love to remodel an old hospital and make the paths and layouts less stressful for employers- and bring color and life to a place with so much tension and worry. I would love to design a baseball or football field that would bring honor and pride to a city that's struggling. i would love to renovate an office space and improve the quality of light and efficiency of space to change the way they work. I would love to simply build housing for those who have none. I hope that once I'm in the real world, I can realize these thoughts and ideas. People are effected by their environments....and I could write all day about that.... so here's to changing the world- one wall section at a time.
