Computer‐Aided Design (CAD) has become important in interior design education, yet there are varied opinions on whether the computer inhibits the creative process. This article examines the relevant theoretical and empirical research on creativity and learning styles and applies it to CAD technology. Ways in which the computer can enhance creativity and problem solving are also explored.
