7. Melody Jackson
Melody is an architect and professor at the University of Kentucky. She came to school for pre-medicine because she enjoyed the math and sciences. However, she also really enjoyed drawing and sketching, specifically Scottish Castles. She decided to switch to architecture because she could combine her love of drawing with her love of math and science. She has done many cool designs in architecture, but her favorite one was designing her own house. She now teaches first year design students at the University. During her presentation she preached the idea that, "design is a journey." There is always design in everything and it will always follow you wherever life leads you. As for the future in design, Melody sees and increase in the use of virtual reality and holographic projection. Both of these would be helpful in showing a client exactly what the design will look like in the future.
8. Lindsey Fay
Lindsey is a professor in the school of interiors at the University of Kentucky. She had an early interest in design because she would like to draw creative places. She originally came to UK to study dietetics and nutrition, but then realized she wanted more creative freedom, so she changed her major to design. For her job she does follow ups on newly completed projects. She goes in about 6 months after the new space is open and makes sure it is running effectively and efficiently. She has designed many homes and picked the exterior and interior design for these homes, much like you see on the reality television shows. Lindsey is also the university representative for Habitat for Humanity. She helps students be creative in building these homes while also helping out others in need. This also ties into where she thinks design is heading in the future. She thinks design is evolving more around the idea of social responsibility. Design can be used to help others and change their lives. Every design has a purpose and these purposes can make the world a better place.
