Please confirm what year you are at SCAD (or your planned graduation year for your bachelor’s degree).
I am currently a junior at SCAD and am expected to graduate in the spring of 2017.
Name an experience from your childhood travels that helped spark your interest in interior design. Why did it have an impact?
Any experience where I traveled internationally invigorated my interest in interior design more than domestic travel. Seeing how different cultures thought of design and translated their local needs to design was most interesting to me. For the sake of the question, I will pull from a high school trip to Spain that I took since I have the most recollection of it.

How did you get involved with NEWH?
I have only recently gotten involved with NEWH, this past spring I received word that the local NEWH chapter was holding a student day at Maharam’s Atlanta showroom. While myself and a few other classmates decided to only briefly attend since we were buried in school work, the forty five minutes to an hour we were there was quite informative. We were given a very honest lecture on the importance of networking and how to properly network within the industry. The overall experience left a positive mark on me continued my interest in
