Gabriela Jacobsen WINNER – IFDA Tableau 2010 Student Design Competition

Gabriela Jacobsen submitted the winning design for the grand entrance of the IFDA Tableau 2010 event.  Her design will be the focal point of the entrance to the cocktail party and set the mood for this gala evening.  Currently, Gabriela is a senior in the undergraduate program at Northern Arizona University. After graduation, she plans to obtain her NCIDQ and LEED certification.  In the spring of 2008, she enrolled in the AA degree program offered at Mesa Community College from which she graduated in December of 2009.
