My experience in the ASID Student Design Day Challenge at the DDB was somewhat unexpected! I was actually an alternate and was able to participate because one of the original team members was unable to make it at the last minute. I was so glad to be able to participate, especially since this is my last quarter of school, thus my last chance to be involved in the student challenge.

My team was the last to take on the design challenge, and after a day of fun and inspiring speakers and lectures in different showrooms throughout the D&D Building, we were tired. Excited, of course, but a little drained.

When the challenge was explained and we were brought into the Artistic Frame showroom, it was a little overwhelming. There were so many accessories, fabric samples, light fixtures, and pillows piled at the end of the room that it seemed we'd never see everything—not to mention all of the furniture on display throughout the whole space!

Stay tuned tomorrow for more from Kristy and ASID's Student Design Day at the DDB.
