Studying interior design at Frederick University has widened my perspective on contemporary design principles and has given me an idea of the importance of space in today’s world. The faculties and staff are very helpful and are always present to clear our doubts and to guide us in the right direction. Being an international student, it’s a great experience and a pleasure to be part of young and inspiring community. 

Upon finishing my military service and coming from a background in secondary education in the sciences department, I entered in Frederick’s Graphic and Advertising Design program without having any previous knowledge of the profession. After suggestions from friends that were already studying at the university and based on the very good reputation of the Arts Department, I took the big decision to enrol. I soon realised that this was the best decision for my studies.

A year after graduating from Frederick University, I can vividly recall the stream of emotions that took over when I first entered the lecture rooms and studios; almost a decade after working as a professional. I began my studies hesitant to where they might lead me but through the process I found myself being challenged, being encouraged to perform at its best abilities-abilities I did not believe I had-and graduated confident that this was the greatest gift I could have given to myself at that time. The course, apart from the knowledge it offered me, it has unlocked a new reality for me; both personally and professionally and I could not have been more proud to call myself its alumni.

Coming from a background of an interior designer focusing on aesthetics and functionality, the Masters program in Interdisciplinary Design gave me new perspectives on design approach through various disciplines adding value to the way I think and introducing me to new concepts and ideas.

I always remember myself looking at the world differently. Attempting to see what was not visible at first glance, trying to capture images in my head from another angle, another perspective. My mind was constantly and restlessly seeking for new and exciting visual adventures and my soul was thirsty for creating them. And all together, I wanted to create superb visuals that even exceeded the high expectations set by my own imagination.
