This designer, Margo, has her interior design degree from Carnegie-Mellon University and she also has a Masters and PhD in education from Florida State.
This designer is not only passionate about design, but also about teaching the future of design.
Her first job in the design field was a full-time professor at Florida State University. She is now a full-time professor at Appalachian State University.
Throughout her journey as an interior designer, she has been a professor in the field for 27 years and has been a freelance designer in both Texas and North Carolina.
Her favorite part about her current job is the interaction and relationship she gets to have with her students. She appreciates the sense of achievement in seeing her students gain new skills.
Her dream job is being a residential kitchen and bath designer.
“I like the preciseness of the design expectations and I like to improve the lives of my clients. I see so many errors in kitchen and bath design that I enjoy the challenge of doing the right thing.”
She faces the common misconception that many other designers face, the general public does not see the technical side of what we do. When designing we must protect the health, safety, and well-being to those whom we perform our design services. The general public only sees the aesthetic side to our work.
“I am motivated by a desire to experience the excitement and aesthetics of design while making the lives of all people more productive and pleasant. Design is problem-solving along with the ability to consider many alternatives to make the best decision. I like the challenge of thinking of new ways to do things.”
Happy Designing, Margo!
