Atlanta Trip



In professional practice this semester, the class had the opportunity to visit design firms and various showrooms in Atlanta. This was a great experience that allowed us to tour firms and enlighten us with basic knowledge of the design industry. It also enabled us see different size firms and how each firm varies in terms of size. We got to visit the Interface Flor Showroom, TVS Design, Gensler, Cooper Carry, Herman Miller Showroom and ASD Design Firm. This opportunity was very beneficial to students before applying for jobs and entering the professional world. I found it amazing how design school and working in a firm parallel in so many ways. The same process and the same strategies are utilized in a school environment as well as a work environment. I now feel more confident and prepared when job searching, I believe the professors in the Interior Architecture department have familiarized us well with the professional world.
