Personal Statement
Hello! My name is Kalu. I recently graduated from Pratt Institute with a BFA in Interior Design and a minor in Sustainability Studies. I am an entry-level interior designer passionate about sustainable and human-centered design. Possessing strong problem-solving, organization, and time management skills, I excel in tackling design challenges with professionalism, ethics, and adaptability.
In my internships at Augusta Hoffman Studio and Lindsay Walsh Interior Design, I have assisted senior designers in the development of residential projects by producing CAD drawings, sourcing materials, finishes, and FF&E, and preparing project presentations and binders.
I'm looking for entry-level positions as an interior designer. Email me at
