Alycia Serna has a deep - driven passion for residential interior design. After high school graduation, she spent her first semester of college at OSU studying journalism. After a long semester, she soon realized that journalism was not her interest. So, moving home, Alycia spent the next two years getting her basics at north central texas college. At this time, she was working on figuring out her future. After multiple jobs and countless venture turndowns, Alycia started working for a custom cabinet business designing millwork for high - end residential homes and renovations. Little did she know this was the beginning of her love for all things interior design. Through her years of hands - on experience, Alycia decided to further her career in interior design by attending the university of north texas. During these four years, she has increased her knowledge in the field of design while at the same time building her image, and business and developing her list of clientele. After her graduation in May 2022, Alycia plans to officially start her own interior design business here in north texas and continue to build her portfolio.
