Student Profile: Liz Sandlin




Hometown: Southlake, TX

Design interests: Furniture design, restaurant and nightclub design, high-end retail design, hotel design.

Favorite part of design: The “aha” moment when working on a project. When things haven’t been falling into place and then you have that moment where all of the sudden things start to come together and make sense.

Strongest skill: My strongest skill is my networking ability. I love meeting new people and organizing events to allow people to interact. My strongest technical skill would have to be Sketchup. I’m also a big fan of hand rendering!

Favorite designers: Renzo Piano, I.M. Pei, Kelly Wearstler, Jonathan Adler

Personal statement: Something that I pride myself in is attention to detail. I have a problem with letting things go until they are just right. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a design translated from an image in your mind into a real world application. That’s what it’s all about!

Where I’ll be in 5 years: Working as a designer at a firm that I enjoy or in the process of starting my own firm.

Dream job: Anything in high-end residential, hospitality, or high-end retail design.
