i’m a twenty something interior designer a few years out of college trying to uncover my niche in the world of design. i started “my design diary” as online scrapbook of sorts to document and share anything and everything i find to be useful and/or inspiring. along the way i will chronicle my journey as i discover my personal style and learn who i am as a designer... in no way do i consider myself a writer, just a contributor to my online design diary... enjoy! contact me by email @ alishagwen@gmail.com
definition of "blog":
main entry: blog part of speech: noun definition: an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a web page example: typically updated daily, blogs often reflect the personality of the author
