I missed it in 2019. Had I seen it then, I might not have been interested enough to click. But my daughter just got into drawing animals so this repost is very timely and I'm printing them out for her :).

I used to think that until my kids got to be 9+ years old and the negative effects of technology became very real. Not all technology is bad but it is hard to draw a line between good and bad. Impossible, IMO.

I'm not familiar with the courses and topics that are included in an architectural program and if they subsume that of an interior designer. If so, then you're probably right. But, as far as I know, they're separate disciplin
