professional practice_ avenues event


Attending the Avenues event was a great experience. I had the opportunity to speak to some great people that had alot of advice and information to share. I spoke with Mike Cindric, from Design Dimension Inc., Rob Easton, from Davis Furniture Design, Blair Davis, from ID Collaborative, and Paula Carr, from TVS Design.

Mr. Cindric spoke of the importance of community engagement in their work, an example
of which they involved several different departments of a local high school to design, create, and build the installment of a park.

Mr. Easton spoke of the role that Davis Furniture has in designing new and innovative modern/contemporary contract furniture.

Ms. Davis provided great advice about the industry and how material and furniture selections are organized in their company. She spoke of how these packages are distributed to the client, architect, themselves, and others involved in the process.

Mrs. Carr was very inspirational and provided great feedback on ways to go about retrieving a job in the industry.
