UTOBIOGRAPHY
H
ello, my name is Joseph Cotoia and here is a little story about me. When I was young, I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life and I’m sure no one else did either. As a young boy I would play with all sorts of toys including action figures, legos and more. As time progressivley went by, I suddenly realized that I was in high school. I realized that I wasn’t a little kid anymore. In high school I was a very good student, did all of my work and never got into trouble. About my first year of high school, I started playing this game called The Sims. This game lets you create your own “world” if you will and you’re able to create your own interiors of homes. The first time I played this game I fell in love with it. Ever ytime after school, I would come home and play this game for hours on end and I’d get really into what I was designing. I couldn’t stop myself. I was just in love with designing. Also not only does this particular game let you create interiors, you can also interact within the space. My favorite style of design is Modern
and Contemporar y. Modern design, to me, is the future of interiors. Making something so simplistic yet innuitive excites me, and that’s why I want to create interiors. The main point that I’m tr ying to come across to is that I want to create a space that you would want to come back to and feel confort and excitment. Creating a space lets my mind wonder and I’m able to express myself and what I like wether it’s colors, textures or furniture. So, without further or do, let the designing begin! Using dark and light colors combined with beautiful textures such as concrete, wood, stone, metal and more. My present and furture goal is that I want people to remember the space some time and vividly understand what my goal of designing is. During my years in college I got to experience in real life what design is all about and I got to travel around New York to different areas and experience in real time what design is all about. We also got to explore showrooms and we were able to interact with workers and see how the atmosphere was like.
