How would you describe your classes to someone who has never attended one?
My classes are a blend of lecture and studio design projects. We cover new material in lectures and spend time reviewing progress on studio design projects with groups or with one-on-one reviews. I try to include relevant information from my architectural practice to help associate the course content with "real-world" career applications.

Anderson University’s School of Interior Design does an excellent job of preparing students for a professional career in the design field. AU has good working relationships with local professionals in the field and has a strong program focused on creative design and technical proficiency. The small class sizes easily allow personal interaction with students not available in larger classroom settings.
Students often do not realize the technical requirements of Interior Design with respect to life safety issues associated with the interior built environment. Also, design is a subjective task. It is a synthesis of information processed by the designer through the lens of their specific cultural and experiential background, so each solution should be unique and there can be several different solutions to the same problem. Students should realize that artistic and communication skills are essential to this major. Computers are powerful visualization tools, but pencil and paper are always needed to brainstorm and communicate person to person. Public speaking is also an integral skill for a designer.
