Jessie Kathy Interiors

This course has improved the knowledge and skills I need for an interior design career. Not only have my drawing skills improved, but I have also obtained knowledge in planning and representing a clear and understandable design. The fact that the first few weeks of the semester were centered around improving drawing skills helped immensely when it came to our final cafe presentation. I enjoyed the final cafe project the most and I appreciated seeing how much my skills and my classmates' skills improved. I thought the presentation experience was successful in that I got great advice back that I can use in future course work.  This course was the first insight I've had into my interior design career (both educational and occupational). After completing this course, I feel that I am definitely in the right major and I am extremely excited to see how the rest of my educational career pans out at the University of Florida.

For my cafe, I'd like to make a comfortable environment that may make them feel at home. Since most of the student population lives in either a dorm or an apartment, I wanted to have an outdoor inspired cafe that makes you feel like you are relaxing in your own backyard. Pallet benches, lawn like accessories, lots of greenery and an organic wheat-grass juice bar will all contribute to this laid-back nature feel.
