Rebekah Radtke
Growing up Rebekah was dying to be a designer so when she came to UK, for her undergraduate degree, a design major was a no brainer for her. Rebekah then got her masters in architecture, where she worked in Brazil and went to the Art Institute of Chicago.
Now, Rebekah is an assistant professor at the University of Kentucky in the school of interiors as well as an interior designer. She loves interior design because she believes people spend the majority of their time indoors so the inside of places should look great! She also likes interior design because it is experimental and collaborative. As an interior designer, she is an advocate for people.
When asked what the future of design holds, Rebekah believes that generations of designers and people who are not designers will understand design and appreciate it more.
Anne Filson
Anne is a professor in the school of architecture and is a practicing architect. For her undergraduate degree she was an art history major. Anne then got her masters of architecture at a school in New York. She was interested in Dutch architecture early on and worked under a Dutch architect. She then worked for IIT's campus in Chicago. Anne is currently a professor in the school of architecture at the University of Kentucky.
"No design is bad design," said Filson.
She ended her speech by talking about her AtFAB project she is doing. She believes this is the future of design for herself. AtFAB produces thoughtfully designed, precisely made, heirloom objects, which can be fabricated with digital tools and delivered directly to individuals with the aid of distributed manufacturing networks.
