Today we’d like to introduce you to Abigail Peterson.
Hi Abigail, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I recently graduated from High Point University (located in High Point, NC) with my Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. I am originally from Stillwater, Minnesota and I knew I wanted to work somewhere else in the United States where the interior design industry was bigger. I ended up getting an interview with Meredith Ellis Design, and from there, I was offered a job as an Interior Design Assistant. I had never been to Texas before I took the job, but I knew that this opportunity was one that I could not pass up. I moved to Dallas, Texas in June and began working at the company. My education at High Point University, along with my internships I had during college allowed me to begin my career as an Interior Designer. I have interned with Style & Structure (located in Stillwater, Minnesota) and Baker Furniture.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My biggest challenge so far has been doubting that I will be a successful designer. I think interior design is a difficult career to feel confident in because there are so many talented and unique designers already out there. However, I had to tell myself that I received a great education and I have had so many amazing mentors along the way that believe in my abilities. This is what allowed me to realize as long as I have faith in myself and I just put myself out there, I can make anything happen. I decided that this had to be my mindset especially since I was moving to a brand-new city and state.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am an interior designer specializing in luxury residential design and architecture. I am proud of the fact that it has been a dream of mine since I was younger to make a career out of doing what I love – designing houses and working in beautiful spaces of architecture. I think my drive and passion for design and architecture sets me apart from others – I appreciate all aspects of the design process, and I think taking elements from all time periods is beautiful.
How can people work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
I have a personal design brand called Abigail Elizabeth Interiors, where I work freelance on a range of design projects and consultations. I have an Instagram handle @abigailelizabethinteriors and also a website called Abigail Elizabeth Interiors. I appreciate any and all support for those who want to watch me grow as an Interior Designer.
