ABOUT ME

My name is Lydia Roos, and I am a third-year student at Texas Tech University pursuing a Bachelor of Interior Design. I am passionate about Interior Design because of the everchanging needs surrounding human-centered and the countless opportunities to innovate and inspire creativity within every space.

I have always been a hard-working student drawn to the arts. I have also always enjoyed project-centered classes, because of the great satisfaction I feel when presenting the final product. I was often encouraged by the people around me to continue to explore creative thinking and ideas. This led to me pursuing a passion for Interior Design. Over the past three years, I have gained such rich knowledge of crucial aspects of Interior Design such as spatial planning, rhythm, balance, and lighting control. I strive to create captivating spaces that facilitate health and inspire the user to create as well.

Over the past year, I have been given the opportunity to serve as the elect position for the Philanthropy Chair of Texas Tech’s Campus Center International Interior Design Association. This coming fall, I will assume my position as the Philanthropy Chair. I am passionate about giving my classmates and other students the chance to give back to their community as well as learn more about design while building long-lasting relationships. This opportunity has not only enabled me to enhance my professionalism but has also provided me with the chance to broaden my network of connections.
