In 1979 when I first began my study of architecture, construction and interior design I used vellum, a T-square, lead holders (a mechanical holder for lead), lead pointers (sharpener), drafting brush, radiograph technical pen set, drafting table, compass sets and dividers, triangles and drafting tape to name a few! I\u2019ve always loved drawing and still have all the tools from yesteryear, keeping them close at hand.<\/p>\n
In the past 15 years, technology has influenced many design fields, including interior design. Some changes in my industry are the use of AutoCAD, Sketch Up, Revit, 3D StudioMax\u2026and the list goes on. The influence of computer technology on the interior design field for over a decade has been prodigious. Technology has opened up the process of how we design, adding tremendous range, speed and quality to the designs and renderings we present to our clients.<\/p>\n
I see a completed interior design in my head that includes finishes, furnishings, window coverings and art\u2026\u2026\u2026.everything to complete the vision. I truly believe this is a God-given gift! However, most clients cannot envision a completed space, therefore having the tools and ability to share the vision in a perceptible way is incredibly valuable.<\/p>\n
The changes in technology have radically changed since I began my career. Technology has influenced designers in a big way. In just a few hours we can render an interior space with the exact furnishings, finishes and art. In many cases these days, it\u2019s hard to decipher whether you\u2019re looking at a photograph or a rendering. This capability gives our clients a realistic vision of their project before it\u2019s completed. Using technology takes the uncertainty and nervousness out of the process, putting a client at ease.<\/p>\n
