Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Over the last two months I feel like I have grown a lot as an interior design student. Starting off in the business school, switching to American Studies and finally landing in interior design has been a hassle as well as a joy. This being my first semester in the program, I didn't know exactly what to expect, except for the one comment that I was told months prior, "if you're bored in class, we don't mind if you doodle floor plans." That statement itself just made the transition that much easier.

I've learned that time management is definitely of most importance. And knowing the employees at an art supply store by first name is just part of the job. Not that I'm complaining, just a huge change from business for sure. After botching my first project, I've definitely learned about the usage of adhesives, and what works best for different materials. Also, that sometimes a simpler/clearer idea might actually make your project that much better. Think calmly and reach out for suggestions and ideas.

For the remainder of the class I hope to become well versed in constructing projects out of different types of materials in a cleaner/shaper format than previously produced. Also to try and be more of an influence in critiques and discussions. Any minor input can help someone else with their final design submission on a project.

This picture represents a situation in which I learned from my mistakes, one in which I can now laugh about. But just a good word of advice, always know the difference between soy milk and regular milk.
