Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity is a great place to live in a brand new house, even with a low income. I had the opportunity to be a part of building that specific home. It was an eye opener for me to see what goes on inside the walls, such as, the electric wires, insallations, the structures of the woods, and lots of nails. I helped put the insallation in between the woods in the wall, and helped drilled in nails to the floor to help secure it. I also went around and hammered the nails to flatten it out. I didn't get the chance to take pictures, but from this experience, I have learned that building a home is not easy! It's definitely hard and dirty work, but I am very glad that I had this great experience during the construction work.

Reveal Expo 2011
Reveal Expo 2011 was a great experience for me. I had the opportunity to travel with my two classmates, Megan and Liz. This expo took place at the Lincoln Center in Spokane.
The place was filled with so many different firms, designers, and products. The lighting of the show room was very nice and beautiful.
One of the coolest thing I saw was the Diamond Chair designed by Harry Bertoia at the Knoll booth. It was one of the chairs that I researched in my ID102 bench poster project. I loved it! It is more comfortable than it actually looks, at the same time, very aesthetically pleasing.
These minerals are what makes Nylon. The lady at the booth scribbled on a nylon mat with a permanent marker and got the stains out in an instant with alcolhol. It was really amazing!
I was very grateful to have the chance of sitting in the newest Herman Miller furniture. This furniture was designed toward students because it allows students to study and relax by sitting sideways.
My favorite material item that I saw was this red pattern countertop. The lady showed me a picture of the kitchen that used this specific item as countertops. It was very beautiful! It motivated me to use something like this for my kitchen design project.
There are so much more to share about my experience, but the things I mentioned were definitely the highlights of my trip. As an interior designer student, I have realized how important it is to learn and know about materials. At this point, I have so little knowledge and I will do my best to gain that knowledge!
