Mentorship Log

 What questions were raised because of the 10 hours of experience?  List them.  
What process does Rey go through when planning a layout for a room? 
What kind of tools does Rey use to draw out rooms on a paper? 
If you come up with your own furniture designs, where do you get them made? 

     What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

 The most important thing I gained from this experience was to be fearless in trying new things. This was important because exposing yourself to new things such as places and designs will inspire you and can help spark up your creativity. Being an interior designer always causes you to try new things for your clients. A client may have a crazy idea, and as an Interior Designer, you can help turn their dream into the reality  they call home. 

 How did what you did help you choose a topic?  Please explain.
I wasn't sure if I would be fascinated by the topic, but when I met Rey and the whole team, I decided this was something I wanted to do for my whole senior year. Rey was really nice and after just one day became one of my favorite people in the world. He knows so much about this topic and I love that he's not holding back on teaching me anything about it. He was really excited about the topic and all his excitement got passed down to me. I realized that even if this is not a career I want to pursue, it's something I could use for the rest of my life because this experience won't just have me call a place home, but make it feel like one too.
