Interior Design at LSU: 



​​I graduated from LSU in the spring of 2012 with a Bachelor of Interior Design and a Minor in Fine Art. 

I matriculated for many years, developing my interests in psychology,  art and design. 

My interest in people is largely due to the many years I worked as the owner of a hair salon in Baton Rouge.

I was always torn between developing my business interests and developing my creative and critical thinking skills, preferably  in a university setting. 

Eventually I committed to making a change, in a completely new arena; one that held the promise of keeping my creative juices flowing for many years to come.

​Residential Interior Design:


​Residential design was touched upon most throughly in a rite-of-passage called CONDOCS,  or construction documents. 

In this class we covered  the creation of a broad range of documents that are produced during the construction of a residence. This class, which was not a requirement when I elected to take it,  gave me confidence in my ability to use program that has been a standard-bearer in the industry:  AutoCAD.

I  learned that if I could master this program today,  I could apply my skills to what was coming down the pike,  in the future... 



​Commercial Interior Design:



Much of the way we were taught at LSU focused on commercial ( or contract ) work, with a strong  emphasis on learning various programs like Autocad, 3ds Max, Photoshop, Illustrator and Revit, just to name a few...

This is not to say that we ignored our hand-rendering skills, because we were required to display an ability to hand render every semester. The thinking being: the ability to sketch out a rough idea on a napkin, perhaps over dinner, can still be a powerful tool when it comes to being present.
