High Hopes

I have always been someone who questions the media and its intent. You cannot let the media dictate your life. Interior Design is a clear example in all of this. I have a right, as a DESIGNER in the building industry, to become a licensed and give myself that title through education, experience, and examination. This title is what gives me the right as a DESIGNER to sign and seal my own construction documents. There is a large gray area over the digression of designer and decorator, and I know that I have to make sure that I do something about this situation. I hope to make some kind of difference in the next five years, but if it takes longer I will not stop. I’ve always known that I needed to be in an industry that helps the public, and I understand that interior design does such. For years architects have been implementing code into buildings. I do that, but I also research on a lot more things that affect the life quality of humans in interior spaces. Registered Interior Designers understand that our industry is growing in fabrication constantly, that new materials can be used for different applications and how those applications affect the public. We also research on psychological concepts and solve them through design in interior spaces. We are here to help, not harm, but not everyone thinks of us as professionals. They believe we are merely an occupation. Have you ever been in a situation where you have complete intent to help society, but they wouldn't let you? I have that situation and I feel as though not many do.
