INTERIOR DESIGNER
PORTFOLIO
WELCOME I am an Interior Design student at Kansas State University in my third year of their four-year program working towards an Interior Design Bachelor’s Degree and a Business Minor. I entered K-State undeclared, but was lucky enough to be placed on the Interior Design and Architecture cluster floor, which is where I made some great friends, and where I was able to see what they were working on during the year. I believe that my mother had seen the “designer” in me before I did; at a young age I rearranged the furniture and gave my opinions on how to improve our house. It was in the spring semester of my Freshman year that it all clicked, and I knew that I wanted to pursue Interior Design. After completing my first year in the program, I found myself striving to learn more about design. This drive is what continues to push me to succeed as a designer.
MY MISSION A major aspiration in my life is to be happy. Twenty years in the future I hope to wake up in the morning and go to work and feel like my job is a passion of mine and not just a ‘job’. I want to be able to do something that is always changing and challenges me every day. I want to love every part of my life. I love design, fashion, and understanding how things work. Choosing to become an Interior Designer will give me a multitude of great opportunities. As for career goals, I desire work that will bring me on journeys to unfamiliar places, present me with distinct experiences and allow me to discover and express who I am. Most importantly through my work, I want to be able to provide a service for others. I would like to be able to connect with all clients and extend to them something they aren’t able to create on their own. I dream of designing offices in skyscrapers, living spaces in homes and everything in between. I am learning how to create a beautiful space and make it functional and safe. Being able to accomplish these feats as a designer will bring me satisfaction and happiness.

| COMMERCIAL/FORAGER
Foraging is the act of considering food carefully, accumulating it purposefully and giving value to food. The Forager selects organic food from local farms. To create no waste, ordering is based on availability which creates an interesting and ever changing menu. The Forager is taking the initiative and embracing future change by following current design trends of improving the earth. The restaurant is created solely from recycled and reclaimed materials and the implication of the latest technology allows for this selfsustaining restaurant to follow a farm-to-table structure. The Forager’s origin comes from the act of foraging or crafting recipes around scavenged items. Ordering ingredients based on availability allows the restaurant to have an ever-changing menu that avoids food waste. As society progresses, over time we see trends resurface. With advancements in technology likely in 2029 we see a repeated trend in reaction to an earlier time. Within Forager we see elements of Chillwave and Photography Property of Third Parties
Vaporwave, two movements in 2010s that reference music from the 1980s. A time period where neon colors, signs, bold graphics and growth in technology for the music, gaming and computer industry defined the decade. Elements of current art trends like Glitch Art which is the practice of using digital or analog errors for aesthetic purposes through the corruption of digital data are present throughout the space. The Forager’s practices and design create an upbeat, fresh and creative environment. Forager strives to create an environment that connects with people. With advancements in technology, human connection can often be lost. Forager reclaims this by rekindling the one thing that brought people together for 1.8-2.3 million years: cooking.

SPARK A collaborative multi-function office space for K-State students interested in biosecurity and agricultural research with rentable co-working spaces for non-K-State students. In the globally connected world that we live in today the workplace has begun to shift in appearance. According to Lohr from the New York Times, the “workfrom-home” trend is being reversed “as companies recognize that offices can be creative clusters. IBM, for example, recently recalled 5,000 of its at-home employees back to offices…” Spark is following this reversal and is designed to put energy back into the workplace to encourage
people to come to the workplace. Additionally, companies are connecting people with technology and moving out of compartmentalized offices and into open floor plans. This move highlights the importance of collaboration. Now not only are employees of one company together in one big space, but multiple companies, entrepreneurs, and start-ups are brought together for the cultivation of new ideas.

CONCEPT The Spark office, Manhattan’s new highly sought after co-working space, harnesses the three main types of energy in relation to different modes of work: potential, kinetic, and mechanical to provide an efficient and inspiring work environment for new, or sparked, ideas. Potential: where energy is built up and regained. The gym, outdoor living area, café, casual social zones and other workplace amenities. Kinetic energy: where innovators, creators, and leaders come to connect, spark and develop ideas. Conference rooms, touchdown areas, teaming areas, flexible furniture layouts, and intentional or casual collaboration areas. Mechanical energy: the sum of potential and kinetic energy. The heads down and individual work areas are designed to be quiet and efficient. Co-working space, administration, and maker space.

All of these energies come together in the Social Hub, the center of Spark. Where relaxation and socialization takes place, as well as casual collaborations, and heads-down work in a “coffeehouse” community setting. The social hub is centered in the floor plan with the main circulation paths bordering it, as it will be the showcase space and heart of spark.

Artemis, the goddess of the moon, is a defender of children and weak things, protector of the new born and bringer of fertility Research of Riley County revealed child obesity is on the rise and a need for a pediatric clinic. Within this building three services will be provided: a fitness gym free of charge to allow underprivileged children the opportunity to participate in physical activity, a daycare where parents are able to
drop off their healthy kids, and a pediatric clinic to provide healthcare and wellness checkups for children. The Artemis Wellness Center varies from traditional clinics because it was constructed around an on-stage/offstage model, which separates patient space from staff space. The separation of the patients’ spaces from the staff’s spaces creates a more productive work environment because it allows private communication between staff. This healthcare center focuses on creating independence for the children, along with wellness of the staff. Upon researching healthcare with regards to adolescents, a Steelcase case study found that equal level, eye-to-eye contact between doctors and patients is the most beneficial and responsive way to talk to patients. To produce independence and a positive connection between patients and staff, exam rooms contain power-operated exam tables that lower for children, and expand for teenagers. The rooms also include adjustable chairs for the doctors along with spaces for their laptops, which have the capability of being integrated to allow doctors to educate individuals about medical conditions.

The Artemis Wellness Center, branded following my concept, was formed based off of the properties of the phases of the moon and their conceptual meaning. The phases of the moon mirror the phases we have in life. The pediatric clinic treats patients from the beginning phases of life in infancy through maturity.

Richard Naidoo wanted to remodel his two story New York loft by incorporating his favorite design expression, the Bauhaus. This design focuses around the style of Bauhaus and the way the diverse boroughs contribute to the unity of New York City. A grid was created and a design containing geometric forms that functioned as a whole as the diverse boroughs form New York City. The grid in this space was created by the existing columns. The column in the middle of the space split the space creating a secondary gridline. The asymmetrical mezzanine shape, taken from The School of Bauhaus, follows this grid and forms the second floor. The connection between these unique spaces is similar to how the boroughs of New York City are connected together making a cohesive whole.
