Trips to see my family in Southern California are some of my fondest memories growing up. Coronado Beach and Belmont Park are nostalgic and still some of my favorite places to visit.
This classic perfume is one that my grandma frequently used. She recently gifted me a bottle and the smell reminds me of her. It is the perfect scent for a special occassion.
As a student in the Interior Architecture and Design program at Utah State University, I have fallen in love with expanding my knowledge on the world of design. My passion for this profession started with an appreciation for the art of architecture and beautiful interiors.
I have found that nature and music are my biggest sources of inspiration when designing a space. I believe that our surrounding environment is an integral part of the interiors we live in. Textures and organic forms are my favorite elements to play around with, ensuring that nature is in harmony with modern life. Painting, sketching, and watercoloring have always been creative outlets of mine. I’ve loved studying different mediums to allow my ideas to come to life. My passion for design has expanded as I’ve gained an understanding of how impactful it is on human wellbeing. The spaces we spend our time in are so closely knitted with human psychology. The perspective that creative design can create miracles for people, sparks my love for this career path. It is my belief that while good design is beautiful, great design is life changing.
Easily my favorite way to elevate an outfit. I long for the spring day that I can finally swap out my winter coat for one of these blazers each year.
I have never left the house without my gold jewerly. This collection of necklaces, bracelets, and anything else you could need is my favorite way to accessorize.
I draw a lot of creative inspiration flipping through Vogue magazines. It’s my favorite way to stay up to date in all things beauty and culture. Before it’s in fashion, it’s in Vogue.
These limited edition glass mirror art pieces make for stunning decor. They are intriguing to the eye and play off notes of glamour and nostaglia.
This project is in collaboration with Drake/Anderson, a renovation of a glass home in upstate New York. This modern house, secluded in acres of woodland, is inspired by Mies van de Rohe and Phillip Johnson. Made entirely of glass walls, this beautiful residence makes for the perfect second home.
My design is focused on complimenting the beautiful forest peaking through the glass walls and enhancing the original walnut ceilings and concrete floors. Sustainability was an important aspect of this project for me. My goal was to create an environment of wellness in every aspect, a healing sanctuary with toxic-free materials and a low carbon footprint. This space is one that welcomes yoga, meditation, and ayurvedic practices.

With a dream and a calling to one day live on near the shore , Sahara moved to Miami in 2020, with a house right on the beach. She finds peace in the gorgeous turquoise colored waves, with a love for the art and multiculturalism.
With a love and appreciation for the beautiful gems of the earth, Cirtine and Rose Quartz are her favorites.
Bali
Sahara describes Bali as her happy places. She spent four months here after graduating college and fell in love with the freedom and power to tap into her spirituality. She describes this experience as life changing.
Journaling helps to go through each day with purpose, lessons, and self love. Sahara sells a personalized journal with guided prompt and concepts.
Sahara Rose is a leading voice for her generation in helping individuals come into their higher power through personal spiritual awakening. She also has a deep passion for inspiring her listeners to discover their dharma, or their souls purpose. She is the speaker on iTunes #1 spirituality podcast, “ Highest Self Podcast ”and the bestselling author on a number of self-help books. Her list of accomplishments keeps growing, as she co-founded the Dharma Coaching Institute. This organization trains Spiritual Life Coaches to expand her reach of those wishing to find their Dharma. Sahara has also founded a sacred sisterhood collective named the Rose Gold Goddesses, which embodies finding your inner goddess. Sahara defines her mission as “reminding people of their highest selves so they can share their gifts with the world and raise the vibration of the planet.” When she isn’t busy writting books or facilitating workshops, you can find her DJing or drumming.
In the past few years, Sahara has discovered a love for Ayurveda, the world’s oldest health system, and is passionate about sharing all the ways it has healed her body and mind. While she finds Ayurved is an amazing tool for physical and mental wellbeing, she also finds it serves as a pathway for finding the soul. She believes the purpose of health is not just to feel healthy, but also to blossom into her highest self.
Sahara has dedicated her life to helping others find their own purpose and pathway. She sums up her own purpose, “I always knew I was born on this planet to help others. But I didn’t know how... I always felt it was my personal responsibility to save the world. I realized the true way to change the world was to change the way people think.”

It isn’t easy to find the perfect statement wallpaper, but Sahara finds this to be the perfect touch inside her beautiful Florida home.
Each card represents aspects of the self, symbolized by sacred figures. These concepts are integral to yoga, Ayurveda and chakras. This process helps her remain in touch with her intuition.
The surface of this mat is filled with 7 gemstones that each align with one of the 7 chakras. The mat is pulsed with electromagnetic therapy to stimulate cells and remove blockage to the chakras. Lying on this mat will provide tranquility, balance and peace.
Dance
This method of dharma embodiment is an expression of the soul. Dance helps her to release accumulated tension and come into her Goddess nature. When she isn’t recording her Highest Self podcast, you can find her in motion.
I wanted this space to allow the client to reconnect with herself. The bedroom acts as a sanctuary coinciding with the surrounding nature.”

Sahara Rose has dedicated her life to her personal journey of discovering her inner goddess. She finds importance in living everyday in the moment and giving her soul the full experience. As a salute to an old practice of her ancestors, she uses the element of fire to burn worries about the future. Physically, she uses dance to shake the negative emotions out and stay fully present. The concept of connecting with the body through dance and movement is a lively way to stay grounded. Releasing negativity like throwing sand to the wind paints beautiful imagery, and I wanted to capture that in this personalized rug design. My rug design is a tribute to Sahara claiming her inner peace.
Oasis is a story about an arduous journey through the desert, which represents a period of harsh obstacles and lonely hardships, in spiritual terms. An Oasis is a place of fertile land and flourishing life in the midst of dry, barren desert sand. It is symbolic of peace and safety one can find while trekking through the desert of life. There is tranquility to be found even in the toughest of sandstorms. The sandy textures and swirling colors are used to keep Sahara moving metaphorically through her challenges and physically through her dancing. This connection of hues and shapes transforms any space into a reminder to seek out beauty and revival through every treacherous mile.

Cirque is a ski lodge in Big Sky, Montana, a project completed in collaboration with GSBS commercial firm. Inspired by the surrounding mountain ranges, the interior embraces the natural colors, textures, shapes, and forms of the surrounding landscape. The interior design of cirque aims to mimic the inside of a mountain, pulling dark hues and organic textures, juxtaposing light and dark. Cirque was designed around the premise that buildings should mirror the outside environment, creating harmony between indoor and outdoor. “modern society has produced an increasingly compromised and degraded natural environment that offers far fewer opportunities to experience satisfying contact with nature as an integral part of ordinary life.” Building for life: designing and understanding the human-nature connection.
To instate human wellness, the relationship between humankind and nature should be one of respect and love rather than domination.

Moda is a luxury accessory flagship store located in Rome, selling designer shoes and sunglasses. Taking inspiration from the environment and culture of the location, the interior was designed to represent the fashion capital of the world. Italy is renowned for its luxury design and sharp tailoring and has been since the 11th century. The manufacturing of fashionable items is an integral part of the country’s economy. Italy’s craftsmanship and expertise for fashion and textile is rooted in centuries of culture and beauty. Tracing back to the foundations of the Italian Renaissance, there has always been a taste for luxury and innovation.
In Rome, shopping becomes a magical experience. You can window shop right in the center of the city, while walking by some of the world’s most iconic architecture. In Italy, the art of fashion is an act of sophistication. It is not only about the pieces themselves, but about the attitude. Moda was designed to allow customers to feel empowered while inside the space and when wearing the products. In place of dressing rooms, the design features several catwalks where individuals may model the merchandise and feel as though they are on the runway. Through this design, customers are able to have an experience with the product before they purchase it. Moda products are tied to an emotion, a feeling of empowerment, that makes for the ultimate shopping experience.
Caim was designed for the IDEC Student Design Competition 2023. The premise of the project was to create and design a temporary shelter under 50 square meters for a group of refugees. The time limit for this competition was one week, in a group of four students.
Concept and graphics by group, revit renderings of exterior and structure created by me.
The Caim Shelter is a place of peace. Inspired by the shape of a typhoon, the structure convoludes to embrace its dwellers. The eye of a storm is a cocoon to protect one from harm. It is a home. Spiritually, the eye represents a new start; a rebirth. Everything has a cycle, in life and in nature. The design of this shelter aims to create an all-encompassing space, integrating six key elements for enhancing mental health: involve, protect, engage, comfort, personalize, and sustain.

INSPIRED AND NAMED AFTER A DIAMOND, MELEE IS SETTLED IN THE BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS OF PARK CITY, UTAH. ITS FLOOR TO CEILING WINDOWS PROVIDE A BREATHTAKING VIEW OF THE SURROUNDING LANDSCAPE.
