Catlin Gleason CSU Design Student

I am a student at Colorado State University who is passionate about the life altering effects Interior Design possesses. My top priority has always been to work toward client satisfaction and the fulfillment of a space that works well with the tasks and desires of its users. These values have derived from my experience on single, partnered, and group assignments that have allowed me to make lifelong connections and produce projects that I take great pride in. Attending a CIDA accredited program has been a great fortune and taught me more about design than I could’ve ever dreamed of. Our curriculums have granted us with substantial service learning projects and challenged us to think critically about design decisions. I find myself assessing the impact of interiors daily and devising ideas as to how I could improve the things that are less successful and draw inspiration from qualities that enrich the space. Often times I will jot down notes, take photographs, sketch a quick vignette, or create an inspiration board to record these solutions so that I can use them as a quick reference in future projects. If these concepts are ineffective I am always receptive toward critic and will gladly accept suggestions to ensure that the space satisfies its users.
