Portfolio

As a recent graduate holding an MFA from New York School of Interior Design I am excited to embark on my professional journey in a field I am truly passionate about I believe interior design possesses the power to create spaces that not only captivate the eye, but also evoke emotions and shape lifestyles I aim to approach each design project holistically, striking a harmonious balance of beauty, functionality, and sustainability. This portfolio reflects my design philosophy, personal style, and honed skills I invite you to explore this showcase of my work, with the hope it resonates with your vision as much as it does mine

THE VERT

urban farm hotel

VERDANT, PATINAED LUXURY, WELLNESS

Nestled within New York City’s historic Puck building in the vibrant neighborhood of Nolita, “The Vert” unites luxury hospitality and cutting-edge sustainability, reimagining modern hospitality through the integration of a state-of-theart vertical farm into a boutique hotel.

The design of the Vert is a testament to the harmonious coexistence of nature and urban living Upon entering, you are greeted by a verdant oasis, offering a glimpse into the urban farming process. This visual connection to the farm is repeated on each floor to maintain connection to the farm throughout The hotel offers a variety of amenities, including a “farm market” and “farm to table” restaurant, where on-site grown produce takes center stage

The design focuses on a natural material palette, to create a sense of patinaed luxury designed to age beautifully. By using natural materials, the design fosters a biophilic connection to nature, prioritizing holistic wellness, while also avoiding VOCs and harmful chemicals.

As my thesis project, The Vert serves as a potential model for what sustainable luxury and modern hospitality can be

ARKET

flagship

retail store

SIMPLICITY, OPENESS, ELEGANCE

ARKET is a Stockholm based clothing and home accessories brand serving as a one stop shop for sustainable essentials Their mission is "to democratize quality through widely accessible, well-made, durable products, designed to be used and loved for a long time" In Swedish "arket" quite simply means "sheet of paper". This design for a New York City flagship store aims to represent the brand identity.

Playing off the idea of a sheet of paper, the design creates a blank slate through a neutral palette of light wood, whitewashed brick, and shikkui plaster walls punctuated by black accents. This design creates a understadedly elegant backdrop which emphasizes the products themselves and is sure to complement every upcoming collection. The Scandinavian heritage of the brand is also celebrated through the use of iconic Scandinavian furniture and decorative lighting. AutoCAD, Revit, Enscape, Photoshop

HYGGE SITTING ROOM

custom paneling and cabinetry

COZY, ENVELOPING, FLUID

Hygge, a cherished Danish concept, is synonymous with coziness, togetherness, and enjoying life's quiet pleasures. With an abundance of soft, flowing curves, this sitting room is the perfect place to enjoy the spirit of hygge.

To create a sense of being enveloped by the space, bespoke wall panels were designed to transform the walls into a threedimensional, undulating surface reminiscent of gently draping fabric. This design narrative echoes throughout the room with custom cabinetry designed into an arched recess and repeated with an arched door. Furniture with organic shapes further complements the design culminating in an interior that radiates the very essence of hygge.
