Chair's Welcome

The professional interior designer is qualified by education, experience, and examination to design interior spaces for the purpose of improving the quality of life, increasing productivity, and protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the public. Interior designers are creative, imaginative and artistic business people. Possessing a combination of aesthetic vision, practical skills, and design knowledge, successful interior designers work with clients, and with building users to develop design solutions that are aesthetically appealing, technically sophisticated, and pragmatically satisfying.
Florida International University’s Interior Design Department is situated within two very compelling conditions: the diverse international community within South Florida and the rich interdisciplinary environment in the School of Architecture. This unique context inspires our interpretation of the interior design profession as an occupation that exercises many types of knowledge and operates within complex social, cultural, technological, and artistic settings.
