KIMBERLY ANNE B. GARCIA INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO
AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Expressing emotion is something people struggle with every day and an outlet is hard to find for many. It is hard to find due to the fact that people are told to internalize their emotions and for me as a young child, dance was my outlet. Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Riverdance, Ballet and Tap the music moved me. Dance allowed me to express myself without using a single word. One summer, I was accepted into the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater Camp (Ailey Camp). It was the best thing that happened to me because it instilled confidence in me. After two years of learning Modern, African, Jazz, and Ballet with Ailey and putting my body through so much pain I decided to find another and different outlet.
The next summer I applied and got accepted to a program called Investigating Where We Live (IWWL). IWWL showed me architecture through a camera which opened my eyes to a new world. I was born and lived in New York City all my life and had never seen the beauty that surrounded me the entire time. Black and white photography allowed me to see every line and every shape that was made in the city. Art became part of me and every day after I tried a new medium, everything from paint, to ink and clay.
When it was time to find my career I thought it was easy, the answer was Fine Arts. Within the major I would be able to use and learn multiple mediums. Three years of studying fine arts and I was not happy, there was no inspiration. I wanted to make other people happy, put their personalities on their canvas. Interior Designers do just that and after two years of school I know I made the right decision. I am now looking for a place to keep learning within the field and start making each client’s space their own canvas.

O
UR DEEPEST FEAR IS NOT
FEEL INSECURE ABOUT YOU. WE
INADEQUATE.
ARE ALL MEANT TO SHINE, AS
OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT WE
CHILDREN DO. WE WERE BORN
ARE POWERFUL BEYOND MEA-
TO MAKE MANIFEST THE GLORY
SURE. IT IS OUR LIGHT, NOT OUR
OF GOD THAT IS WITHIN US. IT’S
DARKNESS THAT MOST FRIGHT-
NOT JUST IN SOME OF US; IT’S
ENS US. WE ASK OURSELVES,
IN EVERYONE. AND AS WE LET
WHO AM I TO BE BRILLIANT,
OUR LIGHT SHINE, WE UNCON-
GORGEOUS, TALENTED, FABU-
SCIOUSLY GIVE OTHER PEOPLE
LOUS? ACTUALLY, WHO ARE
PERMISSION TO DO THE SAME.
YOU NOT TO BE? YOU ARE A
AS WE ARE LIBERATED FROM
CHILD OF GOD. YOUR PLAYING
OUR OWN FEAR, OUR PRES-
SMALL DOES NOT SERVE THE
ENCE AUTOMATICALLY LIBER-
WORLD. THERE IS NOTHING EN-
ATES OTHERS.
THAT
WE ARE
LIGHTENED ABOUT SHRINKING SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE WON’T
