Congratulations Graduates!!

Picture
This year’s Houston Community College Interior Design graduates were a small but mighty group of eight students.  Their portfolios were on display at the annual Interior Design Show held at the Decorative Center Houston on May 13, 2010. These portfolios consisted of presentation boards with residential and commercial designs, portfolio booklets, and additional items such as hand renderings and photographs of actual installations, making for a wonderful display of each student’s hard work and talent.

Throughout the course of the show, the viewing public voted on their favorite portfolio, and Viviana Blandeau came out on top, winning the Audience Choice Best-of-Show Award.  Becky Demetriou won the Critic’s Choice Best-of-Show Award, judged by faculty and design professionals.  Congratulations ladies, and congratulations for a job well done to all who presented at the portfolio show!

Dennis McNabb, FASID, was also honored at the show for his twenty-one years of dedicated work at HCC, as he aims to retire in August.  He will certainly be missed, but his words of wisdom will echo through the halls of HCC long after he has left Houston for his beautiful home in Sante Fe.
