I presented my powerpoint to our technical staff in the theater department because they are always building house, rooms and various things for different time periods and styles. I mentioned being able to use different styles in my designs since I know have researched them so hopefully the crew will think to do research next time and can design great sets.

I have done many different things working at Martin Furniture. Because it is a retail store, I have learned how to work in the office, on the floor, and how to decorate. I do lots of small task to help the store like pricing new items that come in or organize the fabric wall in order of color. I also help in the office. I answer phones so I have learned to talk to customers. I also learned how to pay invoices, post sales, read statements, find prices for items and help order things. Of course, I learned about decorating. I learned things like the different type of couch cushions, types of chair skirts, different types of pillows, how to mix colors or patterns, ways to decorate beds, how to incorporate art into a space and so much more.
I have really grown through this internship and I have gotten very close with the ladies I work with. They really included me in the business and let me do things by myself, let me take charge of projects and supported me anytime I tried something new. I especially learned how to work with different types of people and how businesses work. I feel very lucky to have worked for Martin Furniture and to have grown so much in a year.
Based off of the interview, I think interior design would be a very do-able job. Lots of designers do not get interior design degrees so if I decided I wanted to do interior design later in life, I could. I agree that the customers make it difficult and often frustrating. This mentorship has taught me many soft skills as well as design skills. I learned how to answer various problems over the phone and help customers who come into the store. My mentor has taught me many things from design tips to life skills. She is very motivating so I am very comfortable when I try my own hand at designing. |
