Student Spotlights

Brittany Dirnberger
School: Stevens - The Institute of Business & Arts
"What I enjoyed the most about the SHIFT Conference was getting to learn more about the interior design industry and see it in another city from a different perspective. It was truly inspiring to see how similar and yet different interior design can be outside of Saint Louis. My major takeaway would be getting to come back with so much knowledge about interior design and where our future is headed."

Jennifer Quinn
School: St. Louis Community College
"I am grateful to the IIDA Gateway chapter for the amazing student resources they offer, specifically the LINK mentorship program and design competition. As a mentee, I was matched with an accomplished professional who worked with me to develop my potential beyond what could have been achieved through school alone...Fellow interior design students, I encourage you to connect with the IIDA Gateway chapter and take advantage of these wonderful opportunities."
