Almost every day I carry with things that do not fit in one bag or two and sometimes it takes two trips to get everything in my car. Then I also sit in front of the computer for hours and my back hurts. But that’s my choice; I am an Interior Design student and a year from now I will be graduating from the Art Institute of Tampa with a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts.
When I was around 9 years old I said I was going to be an architect as I drew buildings, and houses. With my mom I visited multiple construction sites and learned how to read a floor plan, and I often I also changed our furniture layout and décor .
At 13 years old I moved from Santa Cruz, Bolivia to Florida, US. Things were done different here, and as I learned English I got involved into art classes. High School graduation approached, and I had two professions in mind, architecture or interior design. So, I earned an AA.architecture at a community college; which prepared me for either career, and I choose Interior Design.
Why Interior Design? Because I wanted to make an immediate effect on people’s life and their experiences indoors. Architecture is fundamental as it creates the shell of a interior space, but Interior design has a more physical connection to our daily routines.
On one occasion, my nanny mentioned that she had too much furniture for her new small apartment, so then I grabbed a napkin and sketched my first floor plan arranging furniture in her new place.
