Interior Architecture & Design
Meet Moriah Clements! Moriah is a senior in Interior Architecture & Design at USU, set to graduate this May!
She chose IAD because it blends problem-solving with creativity, allowing her to make a meaningful impact through design. Currently, she’s hard at work on her capstone book, a construction set for a bookstore, and an Art Nouveau-inspired wallpaper line. Her long-term goals? Gain experience with high-end design firms, earn NCIDQ certification, and eventually launch her own design firm. Moriah finds inspiration all around her and gets into the zone by surrounding herself with creative influences—plus some good music! Her favorite part of being in the Caine College of the Arts is the supportive professors and classmates who constantly inspire her.
Costume Design
Meet Chloe Satern!
Chloe is a first-year graduate student in theatre design with an emphasis in costume design. Her creativity started in childhood with friendship bracelets and sewing doll dresses -now she has turned a beloved pastime into a thriving career! To Chloe, inspiration can strike anywhere…even bathroom tiles! She once designed a dress based on tile patterns. If she could transform any spot on campus into a creative space, she’d love an outdoor sewing patio or gazebo - a perfect place for creativity to flourish Her creative ritual? Sipping tea while designing! Her favorites include Earl Grey, raspberry black tea, and blueberry black tea!
