What area of design would you like to work in upon graduating?

I like to try my hand at residentail and commerical spaces. Homes have always interested me becuase our dwelling spaces are so important to each of us as human beings. I think the commercial environment is an interesting and dynamic place to work becuase major corporations are now expected to provide engaging spaces for their employees and clients.
