Biography When I was young, the most interesting and joyful thing for me was drawing animation and comic characters on paper. I liked to watch cartoons on television and read comic books, and I liked to use my memories to draw the characters and scenes which were from the cartoons and comic books. I especially preferred to draw them on my textbooks during class time if the class was too boring. It was my worst habit, but it made me drawing skill better. When I attended high school, my grades were not good. My best friend saw my drawings which were on my textbooks, and he told me that, “why do not you go to an art college, your drawings are so great.� So I left my high school to study painting. Fortunately, I was admitted to the design school of Jilin province art college. I decided to major in Environmental art and design which include both interior architectural design and landscape design because I liked to draw scenes at that time. During college, by learning the major classes I became more interested in the field of interior architecture design. I understood that human live in interior space most of the time during a day, and the space really can impact human’s behaviors and mood. I would like to become a person who can give people a really engaging interior environmental experience. When I was senior in college, I went to a small interior design firm to do an internship. I got a lot of good feedback from my clients, and my manager also appreciated my design work during this period. That really gave me confidence to keep doing this job and I decided to be an interior designer. However, I also realized that I lacked the needed my design technical and skills. Therefore, after I graduated from college I decided to come to the United States to learn Interior Architecture Design. For my career goals, I want to become a professional interior designer. I really want my future clients can enjoy and appreciate my design. I want to build my own interior architecture design company in China.

Site Analysis Potrero Library The Potrero Renovation was completed on March 6, 2010. Potrero Branch Library was the 22nd branch established in the San Francisco Public Library system. The renovation included seismic retrofitting, accessibility improvements for the disabled and elderly; and an elevator and additional staircase to access a new program room, which can accommodate library classes, events and after-hours activities. A brightly lit children’s area with an interactive play-to-learn wall and a new designated teen area were created. A centerpiece of the library is an new sculpture, entitled “Here and Past Here”, suspended above the main staircase. The abstract sculpture, by artist Gina Telcocci, references Potrero Hill’s unique natural and cultural history. The renovation was designed by the Library Design Studio, Bureau of Architecture in the San Francisco Department of Public Works.
Location: 1616 20th St, San Francisco, CA 94107 Area: 5,428 sq.ft. Potrero Hill is located on the eastern side of the city, east of the Mission District and south of SOMA (South of Market) and the newly designated district Showplace Square. It is bordered by 16th Street to the north, Potrero Avenue and U.S. Route 101 (below 20th Street) to the west and Cesar Chavez Street to the south.

STAPIAL DESIGN
Site Anlysis San Francisco Steak House Location: 661 Howard St., San Francisco, CA. The project is located at 661 Howard St., San Francisco, CA. The restaurant originally is a Chinese restaurant. According the search of the project’s neighborhood, numerous local offices, universities and hotels are around the restaurant. Therefore, the target users should be local people, tourists from another cities or aboard and college students. The project will redesign the whole restaurant to be an American style steak restaurant because downtown area do not have so many restaurants focused on serving traditional steak. Also, the American steak will attract more clients to visit the restaurant. The interior space of the restaurant generally is a rectangular space, and it has two floors that can be used.

STAPIAL DESIGN
Concept Statement The design concept is inspired by the different cutting line weight on the used steak plate. The restaurant will create a simple and clean atmosphere to give customers stable and safe feelings. The design will use regular horizontal and vertical lines to cut space to be different functional area, and it plays with the thicknesses of the lines to create a peaceful dining area. Materials will be used by natural finishes and neutral colors to achieve harmony and unity.

Interior Perspective Renderings The long bar goes from the entrance to the end of the space on the first floor. It can lead customers all the way down to the restaurant. Overlooking the steak house, the atmosphere is raw and industrial. It fits to the style of cooking a steak. The double high spaces of the restaurant make a connection between the first floor and second floor. The customers can enjoy high quality steaks under this special interior design.

I would like to thank all of you. Without you, this portfolio couldn’t be completed. Thank you to the instructors of Academy of Art University. You taught me so much about this professional field. Thank you to the ESL tutors. As an international student, without your patience and enthusiasm, I would not have been able to express myself clearly. Thank you to my friends. You always stand by me when I am in need of help, either in the academic or mental aspect. Most importantly to my family. Without you, the dream of learning design in the United States would never have come true. You are the people who care about me the most in the world. Thank you for flying to the U.S. and taking care of me when I had a surgery. There will never be enough words to express my appreciation. Thank you. I love you.
