Interior Design Statement

Tia Billson 18JUN142

To me, design is more than just picking paint colours and arrangingfurniture in a room. It is taking an empty space and turning it into a space thatpeople can enjoy. Design is creating a space that reflects its use as well as thepeople that will be using it. Design can be frustrating and endless at times, butleaves you feeling like you have accomplished something in the end. A spaceshould make people feel comfortable, and the design should bring out the truepersonality of the space. That is what a designer’s ultimate goal is.

My goal as a designer is to make a mark on society. I want people toenjoy my designs and trust in my decisions. My goal is to combine the clientsneeds and wants and create a space that can be used successfully. I lovecombining the creative side of decorating with the logical side of designing aspace to create something architecturally beautiful.

To whom it may concern, I am an interior design graduate who is looking to obtain a challenging

position within the design field. While researching design firms in the area, I came across your company and was immediately captivated. I strongly believe I would make a valuable asset to your design team.

For the past 7 months, I have been gaining experience within the industry by working at an architectural firm specializing in commercial design as well as selling home décor/furniture. This experience has allowed me to gain practical knowledge while further enhancing my design skills and computer literacy. Through my academic and professional experience, I have developed many abilities including oral and visual communication skills, excellent time management and organizational skills. I am also experienced in developing design concepts, construction drawings and colour boards.

My educational background includes a diploma from the three year ARIDO recognized Interior Design program at Georgian College where I graduated with Honours. I have also obtained internship status with ARIDO, bringing me one step closer to becoming a registered Interior Designer. I am confident that my academic preparation, recent design experience and my ability to work well under accuracy and time constraints would make me a positive and productive addition to your team.

Please find attached, a copy of my resume, where you will find a further outline of my qualifications. I can be reached anytime by phone (705)-527-8120 or via email if you have any questions, or to arrange an interview at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and interest, I look forward to meeting you.
