VIU Interior Design Student Showcase
Celebrate with us the work of students from all four years!
Dialogue 2024
This year showcase theme is:
Growth and Diversity
Years 1, 2, & 3
First Years
First-year students start the program by learning the elements and principles of design and focusing on the residential environment with most work hand-drawn.
Second Years
By the second year, students are introduced to commercial design that may include retail, restaurant, and office spaces.
Third Years
In the third year, students are challenged by designing larger commercial spaces such as hotels and community centres.
Graduates
In their last year, students focus on developing a design for a large commercial space of their choice. These projects showcase their talents and interests. Visit their pages and be very amazed by their projects and 3D Experience videos.
Growth & Diversity
Dialogues is the name of the Year-End Student Showcase (YESS), a student-led event that exhibits the work of all students from the VIU Interior Design program. This event allows students to share their work and accomplishments and connect with companies and professionals in the design community. This year’s theme is Growth & Diversity.
GUEST SPEAKERS
The event featured two great speakers who shared inspiring messages with students and attendees – Dr. Claire Grogan (Dean of Arts and Humanity) and Connie Watts (Interior Designer and Artist).

Watts graduated from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Intermedia, and has her Bachelor of Interior Design from the University of Manitoba.”
