The American Society of Interior Designers announced the winners of its Student Portfolio Competition and Student Chapter Awards. Students were recognized at the ASID National Student Summit at The University of Oklahoma on April 2.
The Student Portfolio Competition seeks to generate the best collection of student design projects in the nation. Submissions were evaluated based on conceptual thought, the content of the work and the student’s record of achievement.
This year’s Student Portfolio Competition grand prize winner was Yu-Hsiang Fu of the New York School of Interior Design. The internship winners were Meichun Cai, School of Visual Arts; Cammy Aw, Savannah College of Art and Design and Hinako Nakagawa, Parsons School of Design. Fu will intern at Studio O+A, Cai will intern at Gensler, Aw will intern at HKS and Nakagawa will intern at HOK.
