The Future Designers of Marylhurst

The Future Designers of Marylhurst is a student organization which bridges the gap from student life to professional life by providing supplemental education, networking opportunities and design project experiences. Everyone enrolled in the interior design program is automatically a member of this organization.

Through this group, you will connect with professional interior designers and get important exposure to professional practices that supplements classroom learning.
