My love for interior design and space planning started in my youth. However, my technical skills and industry knowledge of products and services began as a student at MATC. The technical course in AutoCAD provided me with a foundation to learn SketchUp and Design Cabinet 20/20 softwares. These skills essentially led to a Kitchen Design position and other industry opportunities. As I continue to actively develop my interior designing skills. I am grateful for the learning foundation the Interior Design Program has given me.
