Miranda Thomaston, an interior design student from the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences, has been named a winner of the 2014 Association of University Interior Designers (AUID) scholarship. Thomaston is one of only two national winners of the $2,000 scholarship.

Beginning her senior year in the fall, Thomaston is the President of the Interior Design Student Organization and a member of the honors society Alpha Lambda Delta. In the past, Thomaston has interned for Ethan Allen in Kalamazoo, and Mercy Hospital in Chicago, and looks forward to interning with ��������’s facility in the fall and spring.

“My design philosophy is to design a space for individuals to be able to grow in or benefit from. I would like to give back to the users of the space by creating a design that is a part of their memories forever as well as make positive experiences while their time is being spent there,” Thomaston says.
