invitation to IT senior show

We’re excited to invite you to our Interior Design Senior Show — Limitless.

Over the past few years, we’ve poured our creativity, passion, and hard work into developing our voices as designers. This show is the culmination of that journey.

Limitless represents the unique strengths each of us brings to interior design — how we transform ideas into space, pushing beyond boundaries to create something meaningful.

It embodies timelessness, fearlessness, and boldness. Together, these elements merge into fifteen distinct stories, where creativity and thought come together without limits.

Join us on Thursday, May 7th, at Blanco Urban Venue, San Jose, CA
Friends & Family: 2–5 PM (https://partiful.com/e/64s9By8u6ieVkTU4K3aN?c=aJqCCSq3)

Professionals: 6–9 PM (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1985774218142)

Parking: San Pedro Parking Garage

We can’t wait to share our work with you.
