Tyler Belanger Interior Design Portfolio

I chose to pursue a career in the interior architecture field because of the importance the built environment has on everyone’s lives. The way that a space is designed can greatly effect feelings and emotions of the user which provides us designers with the chance to make sure the spaces we design are positively changing people’s life. So, by choosing this path, I hope to envoke a new sense of design that focuses on making the space look aesthetically pleasing while serving a large purpose as well.

BACKGROUND: SOFTWARE SKILLS

When I design, I find that I am gravitated towards the space planning aspect of the process because I feel as though it is one of the most impoartant pieces to puzzle. Planning out the way that the space is going to be laid out is key to making sure that all of the user’s can easily use the space while making sure that it is something they are excited to experience. As I continue my design career, I am eager to find ways that I can change the design world for the better and truly make a difference with my work.
