I wish I had a fridge to post these on...

For the first time since beginning my new job as an Interior Designer, I left work feeling proud of what I had accomplished today rather than feeling defeated by a computer program. I don't really have a job description, but I work with 'Kreuz Bad und Heizung' drawing the customers' future bathrooms on this German computer program to show them what their new bathroom will look like. This is my first set of drawings that went with the designer to a customer sales-meeting tonight, and with a few changes will become a real bathroom soon!




After wrestling with this design, as well as two earlier bathrooms, trying to figure out what a 'torus' is, how to make the glass walls see-through, and even how to draw a curtain with brown rings on it, this is the final product. An accomplishment to be proud of, but also a promise of improving and learning even more about this program, design, and loving the work I do. How much would you pay for this bathroom that boasts a Twinline: shower and whirlpool duo, a Keramag Silk modern style sink, a Vasco Radiator/towel warmer, and a modern trend glass sliding door?

This is estimated at around 20,000 Euros...

Where I've been, and where I am now...a brief update in pictures!

Drew came to Switzerland...just for fun!
And maybe a little mischief too... Josh and I went camping during my last week in Switzerland.
We even went fishing, had smores, and cooked over the fire!



Andrea...a great friend...forever!

(This was his birthday in Wurzburg.)


My Aunt Nancy and Uncle John came to visit, and we had a blast retracking my Grandpa's steps.


I started my new job working for the interior design firm Kreuz.
