Kolby Ingram has always appreciated the creative,
stimulating process of design. After starting her educational career in
Psychology at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro, her creative side
pulled her to her true love of design and she knew that the interior design
program at Randolph Community College was the perfect fit. Her career at RCC
has opened the door to a great opportunity to work as an intern with Barbour
Spangle Design group; located in High Point, North Carolina.
Barbour Spangle Design allows Kolby to assist with almost
every stage of design. They have given her the opportunity to visit job sites,
see the installation process, work on showroom setup and help choose fabrics,
finishes, and paint colors for current projects. Kolby has learned key skills
from her internship and continues to mature her taste and style through her
hands-on work environment.
“The opportunity for me to grow as a designer is made
extremely easy at Barbour Spangle. Every day provides a new chance to understand
and conduct design in ways that I have never thought of before. The Barbour
Spangle Design team has welcomed me so warmly and has included me on so many
wonderful projects. I could not have possibly asked for a more enriched
environment. Each designer brings a unique element to the table and I am just
trying to pick up on the creative thought processes that each one displays to
further my knowledge of design.”
Christi Spangle and Christi Barbour have been wonderful
supervisors to Kolby and have really taken this opportunity to teach her as
much as possible about the field. Kolby is appreciative to have the chance to
learn from such distinguished designers with a unique style and is excited what
the future will hold for her.
