KHANH LE

Interior Design Student, WELL AP

Hello !

I am a 4th year Interior Design student at Fanshawe College. My passion for interior design is driven by the influences spaces have on user experience and emotions; as well as designing sustainable spaces, and enhancing user health and well-being Besides my academic learning, I also achieved the WELL AP certification, which strengthened my knowledge of health and well-being design. As my educational journey has come to an end, I would like to seek opportunities that can qualify me to take the NCIDQ exam in the near future.
