My name is Daniella Ruiz. I am a recent interior design graduate from Paier College. During my undergrad, I’ve placed in various design competitions, attended design workshops and conferences, and interned at an interior design firm. Studying architecture at Italy's Accademia Riaci will allow me to explore the Italian perspective of all thing’s art and design, build a network of people in my desired field, and opens doors to a wide range of personal and professional opportunities.

Saturday, September 23 | The art stage of this month was the Glass Museum in Empoli! We got a private tour of the history and craftsmanship of glass-making! It was so interesting! In the picture above, you can see that there is a smaller “glass cup” within the bottle. This is so you can keep the liquid cold with ice without watering it down!
