Why did you choose the MSD program?  

I chose this program because I wanted to deeply enrich my understanding of the theoretical and psychological aspects of interior design. ASU has a wonderful reputation and an emphasis on theory in design. It seemed like a perfect match, and it is!


What is the best aspect of the MSD program?  

The faculty. I was totally blown away by how they treat their students as colleagues. All of my professors have been amazing in their encouragement and the amount of knowledge they possess is overwhelming at times!
