Before You Enroll in Design School, Read This
Over on Instagram, I get a lot of DM questions about how to become a designer and whether or not one should pursue formal education in order to provide interior design services to clients.

But to be completely honest, I lean more towards the opposite response. Don’t get me wrong, I am absolutely proud that I completed my degree program and I’m so grateful for the education and nurturing I received at Meredith College. However, the interior design industry as a whole is changing so quickly and what most aspiring designers desire to do for a living is NOT what is taught in design school.

This Christmas was the most fun I have had in my adult life! Being the mom of an almost 4-year-old is so fun during the holidays because she’s at the peak of her energy and imagination. Her daycare had a Christmas program where they sang “Happy Birthday Jesus” and she’s been belting it out since December 1st. It’s the absolute cutest, and I’m just soaking it all in. Before the year ends, I’m reflecting on my lessons and wins!
