Every year the ‘crème de la crème’ of Ryerson’s Students of Interior Design are invited to showcase their skills on the IDS showroom floor and 2012’s exhibit of “Forgotten people and forgotten spaces” did not disappoint. Each year Ryerson grads seem to set the bar higher and higher for innovative and creative design.

“Drawing on the resources of a vibrant city and a university dedicated to the advancement of applied knowledge, Ryerson’s Interior Design School prepares graduates for leadership in the Interior Design profession. Through understanding and consideration of the technological, aesthetic, ideological, environmental, cultural and social dimensions of the built environment.”     Ryerson
