Do you like round rooms, small rooms, dark rooms, colorful rooms, wood floors, big windows? Instructor Sophie Zifcak is currently a Pacific Crest primary assistant in Deb’s class. She has a BFA in Interior Design from Pratt Institute and over 5 years of experience as an interior designer on projects ranging from large hotels to small home remodels.
