CONTENT PAGEAs a designer full of creativity and a passion for innovation, I relish the way design influences everything. I like the opportunity that design affords me to develop a concept or idea and then turn it into a tangible and meaningful space that meets the client’s specific needs. To me spatial design is successful when it utilizes the principles of design and code compliance in order to create a space that solves the design dilemma. I feel that as a designer I can create spaces that are aesthetically pleasing and support the well-being of the users while also using environmental protocol. As a designer it is my personal goal to solve client problems and be an agent of change.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

During my internship with Lisa Torbett Interiors, I assisted with the selection of light fixtures and furniture, hand drafted furniture plans to send to the client for approval, drafted and finalized the finish schedule, and I developed proposals, specifications, and purchase orders. At the end of my internship I was required to pick a project to representation what I'd learned over this time. I cre-ated a 3D model of the project I had the most involvement in, the Rosson's Guest house, input the actual FF&E selected for the space, and rendered them all vie Sketchup.

For this project I was required to develope a design for a single Native American woman's home. I took the client's culture, Ojibwe Indian, into mind through the process of space plan-ning and selection of FF&E. The client need a space that had clear public and private areas, as well as be ADA accessible for when her handi-capped grandmother would come to visit. Uni-versal design concepts and proxemics were used during this project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:For this project, I created a Farm to Table restaurant design for a pre-existing building located in down town Statesboro. The goal of this design was to create a sustainable restaurant that venders from the Statesboro Farmer's Market could sell their product, and locals could come and enjoy it. The design concept was inspired by a bee hive and the natural aspect that enable it to function so efficiently.

Hospitality Design

Design Concept:Inspired by the diverse ecosystem of unique plants and animals, this carpet is designed to illustrate two

viewpoints of a coral reef. The pre-function area is designed to show a bird's eye view. I incorporated the organic shapes and wanted the color scheme to reflect the bright blues of the Coral Sea in to the design of this space. Rippling lines encourage guest to transition further into the venue. This part of the design looks as though the viewer is within the beds of the reef. Just as coral reef provide a space for species to co-inhabit one place together, a ballroom allows for people from all backgrounds to co-inhabit and come together during times of celebration.project description:

This project was submitted for the Durkan Discover Contest, in which I came up with a carpet design for a hospitality ballroom and prefunction area. I used inspiration sketch-es and images as the graphics through Adobe Illustrator. The perspectives of the carpet actually in the space were done throught Sketchup.

Learning to draft by hand requires knowledge in scale, poche, floor plans, elevation views, section views, isonometric views, schedules, and lettering. Learning how this process works enables designers to understand to technical aspects of portraying a design.

Isonometric View

Perspective renderings are useful for shwo-ing the client what your design may look like. Having hand rendering as a foundation is tru-ely important for every designer. You will see phonto shopped renderings and eelvations as well as material renderings, and hand per-spective, floorplan, and elevation drawings.

Fixtures Used in Design

homes for heros lighting

Project Discription: This design is for a non-profit, volunteer project for downtown Statesboro development authority. I was given a budget of $500 max for one fixture and an overall budget of $1000 for all the fixtures in the house. The fixtures selected keep energy efficiency in mind and must come from a list of local venders that could donate the fixtures chosen.

Lighting Design

Master Bedroom - Perspective View

Living Room - Perspective View

Design Concept:The lighting design for this space is inspired by the rail raod tracks located near the home’s renovation site. Using warm bronze metal finishes will enable to home to be connected to its surroundings in a subtle, yet tasteful way. Fixtures contain incandescent bulbs to give the home a warm lighting scheme. To be energy efficient, three way switches, LED bulbs, and combination fixtures are used wherever applicable.

For this project, I was required to design a wallpaper pattern inspired by a specific historical design period. After creating the wallpaper design you see below, I created a 3D model, using sketchup, that showed what the wallpaper would look like on an actual wall. The 3D model also contains furniture specific to that time period as well as popular finishes. This wallpaper design is inspired by post world war scandinavian designs like the artichoke light fixture and the architecture of the history of science museum in Great Brittan. This project allowed me to apply my knowledge from other foundation courses and create a new interesting design

Studio art classes are used to build a foundation and experience with the

principles and elements of design from flat space to three dimensional, each project

focuses on execution of a principle or element but requires the consideration of

them all to be successful
