Join us in congratulating HCC Interior Design Department alums and recent graduates (from left to right) Haleh Zahir Mirdamadi, Emely Montoya, Alhan Vazquez Galvan and Chandrika Duran for winning the student team competition for best Commercial Design this past weekend at the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) Texas Gulf Coast Chapter's 2025 Ruby Awards.
HCC Interior Design’s Commercial Design Studio partnered with Houston City College - Coleman College for Health Sciences to envision a new Biotechnology Innovation Center. The team tackled a full-floor redesign within an existing building, working closely with Coleman administration throughout the process. This collaboration gave students invaluable hands-on learning and real-world experience, including direct engagement with clients, mirroring the professional design process from concept to presentation.
