Interior Design Seniors Exhibit Work

By Jordan Groff

 

The Interior Design Senior Exhibition had its opening reception on Friday night from 6-8 p.m. The exhibition showcases designs from seniors that will be graduating from the interior design program offered at Utah State University. The exhibition will continue through Friday, the 26, in the Twain Tippets Exhibition Hall.

The Interior Design Senior Exhibition displays what seniors have learned and studied while in the program.

“It took me the past two years to make some of my projects,” said Melissa Burger, a design senior. “It’s a combination of experiences that I have had in studying interior design and the new perspective on design I’ve learned.”

Many people like Marjie Emch came to support and see the work that seniors in the interior design program have made.

 “Now I know why she didn’t sleep all of last night,” said Emch, mother of Stephanie McCabe who was a senior featured at the reception. “She stayed up so many nights trying to finish all of her work and to finish her portfolio. She has improved so much. I’d even let her work on my home.”

According to design seniors Mellissa Burger and Philemon Tevis, this reception marks the end of a year and graduation from the interior design program.

“I have come to this exhibition every year since I was a freshman,” Tevis said. “I would look at the seniors’ walls and think that I could never achieve something that great.”

According to Tevis looking at what he has done and accomplished now is surreal.

“We always doubt and hate what we are doing when we work on a project,” Tevis said. “But in the end we have a great piece of work. And in the end we have a career. A career solidified by the interior design program.”
