Hello there! My name is Velarie and I will be graduating from the Environmental Design: Interior Design Specialization program. I am aspiring to be a designer as this is something I've found to really enjoy during my time at OCAD University. Because of my passion for designing, I have taken a few industrial design courses as well as a few graphic design courses, and by doing so I further learnt that I'm not just interested in designing interior spaces, but also anything that involves human interaction.Therefore, my design philosophy is rooted in the exploration of behaviorism and how objects and spaces can influence humans beings. As someone who has always been in a city, I noticed how much a difference of environment impacted my well being, which is why I see architecture, interior design and art as not just something that is aesthetically pleasing, but as a medium that allows us designers to control the state of our mental health.This philosophy is something that I have included in all my work and is something that I am hoping to further explore and develop throughout my designing career.If you wish to contact me or have any questions about my work, please feel free to contact me via email or phone number. Thank you,Velarie Freire
