Meet CET Designer User of the Month Lauren Adams
A long-term and knowledgeable CET Designer user, Lauren Adams is also a presenter at Configura’s 9th annual CET Designer User Conference. Her session on Installation Drawings at the conference will draw on her experience in the commercial interior design profession.
Lauren has used CET Designer for six years and particularly likes creating renderings, as the process takes her back to her design roots. After finishing her undergraduate education at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, Lauren began her career at a furniture dealership. She moved to Dallas after getting married and is now director of design at Dallas-based The Spencer Company.
One thing she loves about design is having the ability to change a space: “I love the process of taking a space from a raw, unfinished shell to the final finished design. The end result is incredibly rewarding,” she said.
Using CET Designer from start to finish has simplified Lauren’s work and made her more efficient. She creates drawings, renderings, quotes and even holds live client presentations in CET Designer. She continually finds more shortcuts and features that make day-to-day work easier.
Her best CET Designer trick and most recent discovery is the “bump” feature in Material Lab.
“It’s been a game changer. It really makes fabrics and finishes come to life,” she said.
Clients and coworkers alike share Lauren’s love for CET Designer. The ability to show and manipulate a 3D model live is – using her own words – huge.
“With the new Virtual Reality Extension, it’s only going to take our client experience to the next level,” she said.
Lauren is not only a lover of design; she also loves rap music. She has a three-year-old who makes life a lot of fun. Lauren also enjoys the outdoors, running and spending time with her family.
Join Lauren and other interior designers at the CET Designer User Conference Oct. 18 – 19 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Learn more at www.configura.com/userconference.
