All 2022 Harcum College Interior Design Grads Already Employed

It seems like just yesterday the Interior Design program hosted its annual Portfolio Show to display the work of the graduating class. Now, only two months after commencement, all ten graduates are employed full-time in their field.

Two graduates are working for kitchen and bath design firms, one is employed at an architectural firm, one is self-employed and already has a strong client base, and six joined small to medium size interior design firms.

According to a recent American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) report, the industry, business, profession, and practice show positive signs for recovery from the impact of COVID-19, emerging stronger and more adept in responding to critical issues that have emerged since
2020.

Health, wellness, and safety are the critical pillars of interior design and have become top priorities for individuals and institutions. Trends in understanding people and business, in general, have significant implications for designers to emphasize and implement into
practice.

Unprecedented times foster increased dependence on each other and our shared resources. The pandemic emphasized the need for trust in data, people, and physical spaces. Interior designers have been called to serve as essential advisors, not only to respond to COVID-19, but to lead and activate health, safety, and welfare for all.
