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, June 14 | Sometimes I have trouble visualizing my ideas and I don’t know how to recreate them in my 3D software. So today I decided to make a 3D model.

Wednesday, June 14 | Creating this model allowed me to visualize my idea and come up with different design solutions! I was able to experiment and play with the different pieces to see what worked and what didn’t. This allowed me to think of my project in a different way!
