Design Institute IDV Students Partner With The Gerson Institute

The Gerson Institute, a local non-profit organization known for helping others, got a little help themselves when they asked Design Institute students to partner with them to help redefine their new corporate headquarters. The Gerson Institute is an organization dedicated to providing education and training in the alternative, non-toxic treatment of disease. Working within the $100,000 budget to remodel the interior of a 3600 square foot building shell in Golden Hill, students enrolled in the Interior Design V course spent the Spring 2011 semester developing innovative design solutions for this dynamic group.

Spotlight on Audra Miller, DI Graduate

From a young age, Audra Miller had the calling of an interior designer. Her childhood pastimes included setting up her Barbie house, as well as rearranging her bedroom furniture on a regular basis. Her first professional pull was for fashion, which she majored in during college, thereafter working as a visual merchandiser for several department stores. However, she craved more of a challenge, and knew there was more for her to do with a professional career.
