Our future looks bright. Our bills are being passed, our projects are being heralded, and our voice is being heard. But now is not the time to sit back and ride the wave. We need to take a discerning, objective look at our profession and our practice, and we need to take charge of our future and the future of interior design.
Education holds the key to our past, present, and future.
They are essential to the infrastructure of the interior design profession, and if we do not nurture them we may soon find them disappearing. We need to get involved in interior design education, and keep these entities alive and relevant. Our progenitors have paved a rich road that leads to increased professionalism and aesthetic innovation in interior design. It is now up to us to build upon that road and pave our own way to the future of the profession. Interior design has a bright future, because the interior is where human interaction and experience occurs.
