      Answer Example

      "I have expressed an interest in design methods of all sorts, even from a young age. I always showed an eye for detail and even used small scraps of leftover wallpaper to decorate my dollhouse. After high school, I attended art school and majored in photography. Still not realizing my true calling as an Interior Designer, I did know that I loved to work with people and make them happy by creating beautiful things. I knew that I wanted to be part of a creative community, which is why I initially pursued a photography degree. When I discovered interior design, I knew it was my true calling, so I switched majors one year into my post-secondary education. I have never looked back from this decision; in fact, my photography-related education gives me an edge when curating spaces for my clients."
