Ethics: A line between Personal and Professional

As a student I’ve been told about new vocabulary terms to understand what it means to be a designer and one word acts as a guild line to help me remember why I chose this career, ethics. Ethics is major factors in a designer’s life and so designers have what is called the “The Ethics Codes”, these codes help a designer realize what kind of interior space they aim to design but to also enter the shoes of the client. The first code in ethics is to remember who the client is but sometimes what the client does or wishes for a space that can impact the moral beliefs as a designer or/and as a person. Even if there is a code saying designers to enter the client shoes and think like them it can sometimes be impossible to push back ones opinion, the way they were taught or how they were raised as a human. That is the main issue accruing within each firms some designers are forgetting that they have studied their whole life to act as a professional but when introduced to a project they have no intention of taking they decline it with such raw emotions   which reflects poorly on the firm they are working for. Even if the project goes against their beliefs designers should be declining them with respect to show that interior design is a professional career. Another issues happening is the idea of clients and how they will see a designing firm that worked or is working for a certain client how do they respond do they drop a client because it can endanger a current or future client. Sometime a designer is lucky because the firm will handle those types of situation but there is the chance the designer will have a say in that day. Me, personally I am a very open minded person it was the way I was raised in this world but even students have their limits that they sometimes don’t voice out and when accepting an exercise the outcome can be horrible because you show no passion to be part of it and that is the result when not know what kind of designer you are, ethics kind of fades away.
