Education: • MS-Interior Design, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA • BA-Finance, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA Bio: My interest in starting the interior Design Collective and creating courses and content on the teachable platform was born from the multitudes of students lamenting to me, as their professor, about having to earn another college degree or certificate in Interior Design or Interior Architecture when they just wanted to have the tools that they needed to start their own Design practice or add to they were already working designers but never earned an interior design degree or maybe didn’t know any digital presentation programs or basic lighting concepts.. I was repeatedly asked, “ What are the 8 or so classes that I really need?” Well, here they are in a relatable, approachable, non-intimidating format by relatable, approachable and non-intimidating instructors.
