Welcome to Career Corner, a regular feature in 美洲狮的新闻 which highlights workforce programs at Collin College. Today, we are taking a look at the college’s Interior Design program.

Collin College’s Interior Design program prepares students with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in an industry dedicated to creating functional and attractive living and working spaces. To learn more, we talked to Debi Fuller, the lead professor for Interior Design.

什么是室内设计？
Interior design is defined as the professional and comprehensive practice of creating an interior environment that addresses, protects, and responds to human needs. Interior designers are creative, detail oriented, and technical problem solvers who work with their clients to develop design solutions that are safe, functional, and attractive. Combining aesthetic vision with practical skills and knowledge, interior designers impact the human experience and transform lives.

Through the use of furniture placement, color palettes, finish and materials, and sustainable strategies, interior designers can create a variety of spaces. These solutions are functional, enhance the quality of life and culture of the occupants, and are aesthetically attractive.
