Our next designer, Emma, graduated from the Savannah College of Art & Design and is now a Workplace Consultant at CBI Workplace in Charlotte.
Emma loves the problem solving aspect of being a designer.
“I love to be a problem solver, whether it’s a spatial problem, budgetary restrictions or a client doesn’t have the right support and direction. I like being able to offer solutions and helping a designer or end user find success in their project, no matter the size.”
A common misconception that she faces is that the public sometimes thinks that an interior designer is unnecessary and the job is purely decorative. As trained design professionals, we have to be thoughtful of the design for the welfare, health and safe of every personal that will experience the space.
Emma, like many other young, educated designers, learned a lot of the computer programs associated with design and still puts those into use. She learned very useful presentation skills and how to participate in critiques. Client interaction and budgetary restrictions are two things that she feels that her education did not focus enough on and both are extremely important when you’re out in the real world.
Happy Designing, Emma!
