Scarlett Mathews
Major: Architecture
I am from the Tri-Cities, Washington and decided to attend the University of Idaho to become a third generation Vandal. Architecture became a passion for me after taking an Interior Design class my freshman year. I feared the aspect of having to draw, but soon realized it is something you can begin to develop and learn through practice. I quickly dove into the program and have never looked back. Currently, I am a graduate student in the Department of Architecture and have a minor in Interior Design. I look forward to pursuing my degree and working in the field as an architect.

Kyle Richards
Major: Architecture and Graphic Design
I was born and raised in Idaho Falls where I graduated from Bonneville High School in 2008. My father is a Civil Engineer, so my interest in design was influenced at a very young age. After taking several drafting courses in high school, I decided to pursue a degree in Architecture at the University of Idaho. Architecture is my focus, but Graphic Design has a great deal of my attention as well. In my time at the University of Idaho, I have noticed an improvement in my design skills in many ways. My two majors in different design disciplines have complimented one another very well and I am excited to see where they take me in the future. In the meantime, I use my knowledge to my advantage by applying it to personal projects involving web design and t-shirt design. My academic and social experiences at the University of Idaho have helped shape the individual I am today. Many doors of opportunity have opened because of my experience here. When I graduate in 2014, I look forward to putting my experience to work in a reliable design profession.

Ray Sayers
Major: Architecture
I am a first generation college student who was born and raised in the small North Idaho town of Bonners Ferry. I believe my architectural design inspiration started from a young age. My father is a brick/stone mason and since I began to remember as a boy he would take me on job sites. During the summers I would work with him earning extra cash and during this time I learned the true value of hard work. Since then, I was hooked on design and learning new construction techniques which shaped me into the designer I am today. I expect to graduate from the University of Idaho with a Masters of Architecture in 2014.

Jeffry Slichter
Major: Architecture and Spanish
I grew up in Boise and McCall where my dad and grandpa are general contractors and professional carpenters, so I grew up working construction. I remember seeing the plans and specs that my uncle (an architect) would bring to the job sites. So at a young age I decided that becoming an architect was what I wanted to do. When my brothers and I graduate from college, we plan to establish a design-build firm here in Northern Idaho. I enjoy hunting, camping, star gazing, going to church, hanging out with my family and friends, and dancing with my wife.
