Where has the year gone??

Not that I'm getting tons of traffic like some people who do this professionally, but I realized this afternoon that I have, um, neglected! this blog for more than a year.

My apologies...

Can I just tell you something?

Last year (2012) was a crazy year for me. I mean, really. First of all, we bought our very first house at the end of January 2012. THEN, we planned our September wedding. THEN, we had a honeymoon. THEN, it was the holidays (and we threw a totally awesome Halloween party!).

a pretty wedding shot for your viewing pleasure

Can you blame a girl??? I've been busy, I told you!

So, in case you haven't noticed, the header on this blog has changed, since my name has changed. Hope you like it! I picked it out just for you all ;)

So... since we last spoke, I think you have missed out on pretty much an entire position here at Color Art. So, my first job was the Customer Experience Manager, doing showroom/inside sales/design/miscellaneous. Then I was the New Business Development Designer for one year, doing only preliminary design work. NOW, I'm am the Higher Education + Corporate Consultant. I really just started this position about two weeks ago... sooo... I will keep you posted.

:)

I'm happy to be back!

Let me fill you in...

Boy, it has been a loooong while since I have posted. Let me give you a whirlwind update of my professional life. I got a job selling furniture at a retail store. It was not what I was looking for, but it offered a paycheck (something I was temporally missing) and some skills about sales. While working that job, I went to an IIDA event and met some awesome people from the furniture and design industry. We exchanged business cards, etc. etc., and now I am working at Color Art Integrated Interiors as the Customer Experience Manager. I am doing some sales, some design, managing the resource library, and meeting and event planning. It is really fun, and very fast paced. I am learning so much, it is hard to believe that I actually went to school before this. Some advice to current Interior Design students: there is so much they don't teach you in school. Well, rather, they can't teach you in school. Like how to deal with snotty clients, or how to work within a budget. Those kinds of things are too hypothetical, it would just be hard to make a realistic lesson.

I am very grateful to have this position, and to work for this company. I have met so many people that have been my champions, and I know they will continue to help me grow.
