Interior Design Program: St. Louis Community College

STLCC Interior Design students in the Design Communication course kicked off their final project in the best way—by meeting their client in person!

We were excited to welcome Donna Werner, a retired Philosophy and Ethics professor at STLCC, into the classroom. She shared her vision, lifestyle, and what truly matters to her at home. She gave students the chance to ask questions and dive deep into the design challenge.

The challenge? Reimagine her mid-century Fournier home into a space that reflects her life today, while honoring its original character.

With this project, inspiration is everywhere:
• Mid-Century Modern design
• Ralph Fournier’s iconic architectural style
• Donna’s love of travel and Eric Church concerts
• And of course… her pups, Gracie & Pete

This is where the design process begins, and now it’s our turn to bring it all to life.
Stay tuned for creative ideas and stunning before & after transformations from this talented group of students!
