Lead Designer
Sierra Unlimited Construction & Arbor Craft Cabinetry
"As a non-traditional student, I appreciated the breadth of coursework required to complete my BFA in Interior Design. Though my interest was primarily in residential design, I was exposed to many areas of commercial design as well as art and architectural history. The skills I developed while a student prepared me for my new career and the internship experiences I had helped me narrow my focus in the field. Since graduating in 2010, I have had my work featured in local and national magazines, appeared on local television, and have been interviewed for a large manufacturer’s design blog. I keep in touch with several of my classmates, who have also gone on to have fulfilling careers in design. The program at Buffalo State helped me reinvent myself and put me on the path to a new, rewarding career as a kitchen and bath designer."
