Interior Design<\/p>\n
New York City interior designer Tyler Wisler grew up in Hawaii knowing<\/i> he wanted a creative arts career but unsure of the specific field. He started college at another university in the D.C. area as a general art design major. When other students saw how Tyler transformed his dorm room, they immediately suggested he should consider interior design.<\/p>\n
Transferring to the New York School of Interior Design (NSID) for his second year, Tyler earned a certificate while working full time. When he decided to return to D.C. for his bachelor\u2019s, he discovered Marymount\u2019s CIDA-accredited interior design program. Full semester course loads and summer school enabled him to finish his degree program and walk with his graduating class in just two years.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the really great things was that Marymount had a sister fashion design program,\u201d Tyler says. \u201cHanging out with my peers who were fashion design majors was a great source of creativity \u2013 seeing design from a different angle. I was even a model in the Portfolio In Motion show!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I also remember clearly about my experience at Marymount was always feeling supported by the faculty,\u201d he continues. \u201cI never felt the stress of anticipating harsh criticism during a project presentation. I experienced constructive critiquing which opens your eyes. The professional design world is full of criticism and you have to learn how to discover when it is relevant and when it is not. If you can believe in your work \u2013 and explain why it achieved what you set out to do \u2013 that is key to developing confidence in your own aesthetic and your creative voice.\u201d<\/p>\n
After graduation, Tyler\u2019s first big break into professional interior design was with Michael Braverman Design in NYC. \u201cI was very fortunate because it was a small firm when I started, so I had the opportunity to work in every aspect of high end project management from initial site measurement to design meetings to working with contractors, from site supervision to the final folding of a linen hand towel.\u201d<\/p>\n
