Interior Design. 

​

'The art or process of designing the interior decoration of a room or building'.

​

In my eyes, Interior Design is making a space, come alive. It is bringing together bits and pieces to fill a space to create something more than just furniture within four walls. It is a sense of making a space feel personal and have a sense of emotion to it. 

​

Why I've chosen Interior Design is because I was intrigued by the idea of breathing life into a room, into a space. It wasnt enough for me to simply put furniture together and call it a room. I loved the idea of how Interior Design manage to encapture need and appeal to our emotions at the same time. Something so personal; a home, and you're able to arrange the spatial composition, manipulate colours and lighting and ambience to create something unique and personalized to one's needs and appeal. That was what that had drawn me towards Interior Design; I wanted to do more in my life that breathes creativity and expressionism rather than something static and mundane to me.

​

Colours, textures, forms. All of these are fundamental to design and it was interesting to me, the blend of this, to create an overall design to live in. This sparked my curiousity. However I did understand that a broad set of skills were required to achieve a good creation of interior design due to the requirements of technical knowledge, however, I feel like this is a challenge to look forward to. I want to be able to create comfortable homes, public spaces, and functional workplaces for people to be in. I want to be able to express myself in the form of creating spaces. It's like artform, but living, functional artform. A way of expressing myself in everyday life.

 

But believe me.

 

My initial career path choice was entirely different from this. I had aspire to be in the Biotechnology Field to o a point where I enrolled in South Australian Matriculation with a full set of science-based subjects (which includes Chemistry, Biology and Nutrition) as that too was an interest of mine. And it did not help that the stereotyped encouragement of doing Science was a better and more stable choice for a career than it was for Design; was a driving force from my parents. However, I guess that with all interest, if there is no passion for it, you wouldnt be able to sustain that interest for long. 

 

Which brings me to here:

Interior Architecture.

 

The one thing that had caught my attention and the passion that had kept me encaptured and engrossed by the world of it all up to now. How great it would be to be able to see my work one day in the future and have someone appreciate it, and evoke emotions in them the way it had in me.
