Job Shadow: Interior Architects

                The Job shadow was easily my favorite part of the entire trip! I learned so much and it was refreshing and relieving to see the tactics and methods we learn in class used in the modern workplace! The job shadow made me realize that everything eventually comes together to make a final product. I guess I personally don’t think that far ahead but in firms today the final product is your grade in real life and is taken extremely seriously. I think I will start to plan out everything I have to do for each project so I can better plan out my time. All of my energy goes into the wrong places for projects and I need to deconstruct projects in my head and better visualize where everything will go and how everything will cooperate with other aspects of my project to better my final product. It was challenging to hear that Amanda, one of the many bright minds working there, was working on multiple projects at once. But it was relieving that the company came up with ways to work around these multiple projects and make sure both get done on time. I think my biggest struggle so far is not necessarily multitasking, but applying myself in order to get multiple projects done in the same week. I am so happy to have toured IA, I wish I had more time to just sit and watch the process work being done .
