I started my first class last night with the UC Berkeley Extension program. As I walked in the doors of the art and design center, I knew that this was the place where I need to be. Drawings and paintings were hanging everywhere in a beautiful space. It was amazing! I am taking the principles and elements of design class for interior design and interior architecture.
A few years ago, I made myself a list of things I wanted to do. Many of them I have tried which is comforting. Becoming an interior designer was on that list. So, I am trying this path and hoping it's the right one.
My professor is at least 70 years of age or older. He wore black slacks, a black and white checkered button down, a plain black sweater vest and black shoes. He was ready with notes in hand. He also has a Bulgarian accent. Everyone's eyes were glued to him. He's a brilliant story teller with a twist of design philosophy. Laughs and smiles of eager students surrounded him. He has done some amazing things in his life and is so enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge. I am super grateful I decided to take this class and so inspired.

P.S. My professor is a printmaker too.
