As a designer, I hope to be given the opportunity to create beautiful and functional spaces that not only keep people safe, but also inspire and encourage growth even beyond the restraints of its walls.  Interior environments should welcome all capabilities and backgrounds, embracing the differences and breaking the barriers that continue to create distance.  Design should not discriminate but instead present an opportunity for thought and reflection, so that all may have a desire to transcend into their highest potential. We are responsible to be the creators of this world, especially considering those who are unaware of the impact that interior spaces can have in their own lives. As a future designer and leader, I hope to be a driving force that will turn visions of a brighter future into reality.
