Visiting Designer

The Performance Hall @ Utah State

Jennifer Post style living room

Who doesn't love a lime-green ceiling?

Wednesday Jennifer Post from NY will be the guest designer for the USU interior design department. She has an impressive client list from J. Lo, to Matt Lauer, to Simon Cowell. I'm looking forward to seeing her fresh, clean, modern style. Some awesome inspiration. If any of you would like to attend her presentation it is April 16th at 2:30pm in the Performance Hall at Utah State University.
DUE TO A PERSONAL EMERGENCY JENNIFER POST HAS CANCELED HER VISIT TO UTAH STATE!

Bon Jour!

Moshie Safdie's Habitat 67 - architect of the SLC Library - one of my favorite buildings

And so I am in Montreal. It is a beautiful city, even with the 40cm of snow we received today. We have eaten at some incredible restaurants where each bite of delectable food seems to make my eyes roll back in my head. We have seen Habitat 67, the Olympic Stadium, Notre-Dame de Montreal Basilica (we trekked through the snow and enjoyed the light show) and many fabulously designed hotels, restaurants, and retail stores. The poster presentation is Friday - I am very excited. The workshops at the conference are great as well. I'm just wondering if I can take home a French accent for Darren as a souvenir. It just makes me melt when the men here open a door for you and after saying "merci" they reply in that deep guttural smokers voice, "My pleasure, madam"

I wrote an abstract back in October and submitted it to the
Interior Design Educators Council (IDEC) annual conference in Montreal, Quebec. It was accepted and my colleagues and I are going to the French speaking city in March to make the presentation. I also was selected as one of eight graduate scholars to attend the conference. I am grateful and humbled by the opportunity.
