The reason I want to pursue a career in Interior Design is because I love the collaboration of  visuals and space, everyday we are surrounded by visuals and they continually effect the way we feel and react to the world. I was specifically influenced by my parents both being artists and being in the art world my whole entire life. So it was a given I was to do something in the arts! I would consider myself an artist since I have had shows in Wichita, doing mixed media work and paintings. So for me it was finding a job I would love and being able to make money doing it. I am intending to get my degree in Interior Design and work for an Architect firm doing commercial design. One thing that has also influenced me is the "Interior Design" magazine that I search through each month I get it and more and more it makes me want to be out in the work force making the visual world a little more beautiful, functional, and meaningful.
