Daniella Ruiz (USA)

Course: ARCHITECTURE
Program: One-Year Course

My name is Daniella Ruiz. I am a recent interior design graduate from Paier College. During my undergrad, I’ve placed in various design competitions, attended design workshops and conferences, and interned at an interior design firm. Studying architecture at Italy's Accademia Riaci will allow me to explore the Italian perspective of all thing’s art and design, build a network of people in my desired field, and opens doors to a wide range of personal and professional opportunities.

Wednesday, July 19 | Our professor introduced the new project to us! This project is a bit more challenging as he expressed that we must come up with an abstract drawing to start! From there, he will choose what space it looks like – for example, a jewelry shop, shoe store – then we must design the interior!
