How far is
too far? What’s my “design limit?” How will I decide when to say, “Yes, I
accept the project” or “No, I cannot accept the project”?
I never
thought about this until my instructor introduced the topic as a discussion question:
what won’t I design?
I enrolled in
school to study interior design with a goal to one day influence the use of
interior spaces. I never thought about certain spaces being “off limits.”

Will
I or won’t I? Will I one day make professional decisions based on my personal
beliefs? Will designing for a business, whose practices I don’t believe in,
identify me as a hypocrite? Will my professional decisions impact my personal
convictions? Are the two related at all?
My
professional decisions are just business…
Right?
