The first design competition I entered was the Sherwin-Williams student competition in March 2016. I fell in love with the challenge associated with competitions and since then have actively sought out various competitions to enter. Though my education and work background is in Interior Design, I have not limited myself to strictly interior design based competitions but also to competitions that involve creativity, problem solving, and innovation. Through these experiences, I have been able to discover different interests within the architecture and design field as well as fueled a passion for competition in design.
