I wanted to personally thank you for your time and words at the IIDA TX/OK Student Conference. I was grateful to see so many enthusiastic professionals willing to dedicate their time to the students. I am a second Bachelor's student and am in my final semester. I receive email from PLiNTH & CHiNTZ, and it is always useful and informative for my projects. It was nice to put a face with all the helpful information. Thank you again! - Adelia Castellanos-Schleusz – Interior Design Student, University of North Texas
