Interior design studios offer opportunities to work on residential or commercial projects. These studios are supported with lecture classes in areas such as lighting, interior design materials, and professional practice. You will also develop strong technology skills used in the industry today.
Martha Burpitt explains how interior design works.
Leia Davis, ’19, graduated from Meredith with a degree in Interior Design, and is now a Visual Space Planner at Lowe’s Headquarters near Charlotte, N.C.
When Helina Biru, ’18, arrived on the Meredith College campus in 2014 from Ethiopia, she couldn’t anticipate just how much she would achieve in four years.
After moving to Wilmington, spending three years at a community college, and testing many different avenues, Abbey Fogt, ’18, realized she was pursuing the wrong career path.
