Opened in 1980, American & International Designs is a multidisciplinary interior design firm specializing in large, public projects such as hospitals and corporations. The company is run by native New Yorker Susan Arann, a former fashion boutique owner who has designed over 45 restaurant interiors, made bank lobbies more “people-friendly” and has worked on several health care facilities, redesigning birthing centers, and patient and emergency rooms. American & International Designs recently designed spaces for the Ritz Carlton and Hilton.
According to Arann, interns at American & International Designs do “anything and everything.” They are involved in every step of project management, from initial client meetings and job site visits to process consultations. It’s a good program for someone looking to break into the field of interior design, and the company hires many of its interns for full-time employment.
Open to college seniors, recent grads and grad students.
