Why did you choose CAAD at ��BT?

I chose CAAD because it felt like the place where I could grow, be challenged and belong all at once. I didn’t come to Mississippi State knowing anyone, but the kindness and intentionality I experienced on my first visit made the decision easy. CAAD’s small, tight-knit community, the hands-on learning, and the way faculty truly invest in their students made me feel seen and supported. I wanted to be part of a college where creativity is encouraged, people know your name, and you’re pushed to become the best version of yourself, and the College of Art, Architecture, and Design has been exactly that.

Favorite Spot on campus?

My favorite spot at Mississippi State University lies at the heart of campus, the Drill Field. It’s where you see students heading to class, friends tossing a football, people enjoying the weather, and familiar faces you’ve met throughout your time at ��BT. The Drill Field connects nearly every corner of campus, and because of that, it has become a place of community and belonging. It’s a shared space that every Bulldog experiences, and to me, it represents the spirit of Mississippi State.

If you could go back and tell your high school self one thing, what would it be?

I would tell her that everything works out when you choose the place that feels like home. I’d remind her that confidence grows with experience, that the right people will find you, and that stepping into something new, even when it’s intimidating, leads to the best parts of life.

These are a few of my favorite things…

When the bells chime at the Chapel of Memories
Days in the studio when all of your ideas click
Cowbells ringing in Davis Wade
Running into a student from your orientation group on campus
A fresh, ice-cold Dr. Pepper!

Interior design students recently completed a 960 s.f. container home project—along with physical models of their designs! Then, they toured a local development where shipping containers had been transformed into Airbnb rentals. Experiencing the built environment after completing their own designs gave them a valuable perspective on how their conceptual work can translate into real-life spaces.

Interior design students researched nationally award-winning design projects and identified the key principles and elements that made them successful. Then each group created an abstract 6” x 6” cube that represents those elements through their own design interpretation. This project connects research, creativity, and hands-on learning in the studio.

Assistant Professor Cyndi Parker's students were recently able to see first-hand the construction of a new house in its rough-in phase. This is especially valuable because our freshmen Interior Design students have been learning how to read and draw floor plans throughout the semester and a construction site visit like this allows them to see the real-world application of what they are putting on paper!

They have also been learning the basics of construction materials and methods, so seeing these elements first-hand reinforces that instruction by helping them connect terminology and drawings to physical materials, structural systems, and the sequence of construction. This exposure strengthens their understanding and gives a greater meaning to the concepts they are learning at this early stage of their design education!
