Renovating an Industry

I came across this great article in the NY Times last week and although I'm sure many people have seen it already, I thought I'd post the link anyways. I think it really speaks to the future of interior design and how designers have to be more willing to work with clients that have much smaller budgets these days than they have been used to in the past. I love that I am part of the generation that has grown up using computers everyday and can easily use things like blogs and social networking sites to offer design services to people more readily than what was available in the past. It's exciting! You can go here to read the article for yourself and feel free to leave me comments about your opinion on this article! Thanks!

Design Intelligence

I was emailed an interesting article today from Design Intelligence about using design to better society. I always like reading articles like this because they plant a seed in my head about ways to use design talents and ideas in a way that not only beautifies and enhances space and increases function, but takes it a step further and really benefits society in some way by addressing a need/issue and presenting a solution to that issue.
