The Youth Summer Design Workshop is a 10-day intensive workshop offering high school students with an opportunity to experience interior design firsthand. Explore the fundamentals of 2D and 3D concepts; learn basic drawing and illustration skills, play with color use and light effects, learn how interior environments affect human behavior, and leave the workshop with new friends, new perspectives and a personal portfolio full of your ideas. If you have an interest in pursuing interior design at the college level, make plans to attend this summer workshop. The workshop is limited to 12 students and we encourage you to apply early to ensure your place in the workshop.
