My first meeting for my independent project was today. I met Priscilla Bandy who is an interior designer. In order to have a better idea about what I wanted to do for my independent project, I had to meet with her and talk with her about the possible things we could work on together. She is giving me a lot of great opportunities in which I will be able to help her and she will be able to help me. At the same time, I will constantly be learning throughout the work we do. Priscilla and I spoke a lot about what projects we could work on together and she told me that she is currently working on a house in La Planicie in the district of La Molina. The house is almost ready, except for the entrance. This will be an opportunity for me to explore that area and actually design a space that I believe the client will like. Two weeks from today, I will visit the house in La Planicie with her and sketch some ideas, measure the space and do some brainstorming of how this house could be remodeled. I am very excited! I can't wait to finally visit the house but, I am nervous too. I don't know what the space looks like so I can't come up with ideas of what the space can be turned in to. Also, I have never done this before, especially designing something for someone else. Will they like it? Of course, this is just for practice. She may not even use my design or ideas for the final entrance of the house but still, there is a little bit of pressure on me to make this right. For anyone interested in interior design, she told me about an app called Houzz where you can get awesome ideas from. Plus, it is free! This app will help me to think of innovative ideas that could possibly become the entrance of someone's home. |

Karen, what a cool learning experience! Keep me posted on how you're planning to structure your time with her inside and outside of school, and whether or not you still want to work on our classroom. I'm flexible!
