Loc: UK - Leeds for uni, Merseyside for home!
I am doing a BA(HONS) Degree in Interior Design and a Higher education Diploma in Spanish! I LOVE it.....even though I am having major stress today for not having done enough work! I always wanted to do either languages or design and so decided the best thing would be to keep up the language whilst doing design! I never thought I was good enough at designing, even though I always got top grades...but it was my sixth form design teacher who was just amazing and was such an inspiration to me, she was young, cool, trendy....and had a real passion for design. She always encouraged me to do what I WANTED and was always telling me how capable I was of being a successful designer! She really was the one who gave me the confidence to think I could do it. She was only 34, and at the end of the first year in 6th form she died very suddenly and out of the blue with liver cancer. Last time I saw her was the January and by the May she was gone. I dont think Ive even still accepted the fact that shes not around, it never ever really sunk in....but after that happened I always knew I had to keep following my dream and every now and then when I think I cant cope with work anymore I remember what she told me! Im now in 2nd year of Interior design, one more year to go and then hopefully Im applying for an internship in either America(New York would be fab) or Spain(probably Barcelona) and that will be be for about a year to a year and a half. After that who knows what will happen....Id just love to travel and work for international design companies....I havent decided what area of the design I want to go with but I think that'll just depend on what opportunities come my way!! Im excited by the future....cant wait to get out there and do what Ive always wanted!!
