11. Rebekah Ratke
Rebekah is a professor in the school of interiors at the University of Kentucky. When enrolling in school she decided to start in interior design before finally getting a masters in architecture from the Art Institute of Chicago. Rebekah also takes part in the Live Learn Studio on campus. This is a study where the researchers ask the feelings of students about all of the construction going on around campus. Rebekah explained how interior design is more than furnishing a room, it is more about the people because you have to work with that person to design something that they will love and connect with. She is very optimistic that design will help continue to change the world in the future. She also thinks that new technologies will help this change in design.
12. Anne Filson
Anne is from the school of architecture. She is an art history major but also went to grad school in New York for architecture. Once Anne graduated, she moved to the Netherlands where she worked for Rem Koolhaas. She has been involved in many cool projects. For example, she helped design the Seattle Public Library and the Netherlands Embassy in Berlin. She is currently working on a project that makes 3D print furniture. This machine they are working on takes design and then cuts out the furniture pieces to make this design. This is also what Anne thinks design is heading toward. She believes that this idea of 3D printing will play a huge part in design in the future. It is cool how she talked about this new technology, and it very well could be the design of the future.
