Andrea Pavela
STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE

As a second‑year interiors student at Bellevue College and a career‑changer to the design industry, I bring a multifaceted background to this post, including ten years of experience in partnerships and project leadership across healthcare and technology, along with academic foundations in engineering, movement, and energetics. I’m driven by curiosity, connection, and problem solving, and I love the way design unites my values, interests, and experiences. ASID has been a warm beacon of belonging as I stepped from professional stability into the creative unknown, and I’m excited to offer that same support to my fellow students and strengthen our local ecosystem through my role as the WA Student Representative to the Board. Outside of school and networking, you’ll find me on the floor engaging with my two kids, cooking 5‑star NYT recipes while reorganizing my fridge, and protecting my sleep with the devotion of a royal guard.
