RESUME theobalddana@gmail.com | 413.348.2463 | Savannah, Georgia E D U C AT I O N Savannah College of Art & Design BFA Interior Design Minor Electronic Design (software technique development)
A R T I S T S TAT E M E N T As designers we are taught to think outside of the box. As an interior design student, I focus on thinking outside of the building. I am driven by the notion that interior design extends beyond the elements that exist within the structure, and instead serves a bigger purpose within its geographical context. I am most influenced by communities and landscapes that directly interact with my design. I am inspired by social connection and support of diversity within the realms of human identity, culture and historical backgrounds. By focusing on community interests and concerns, my work challenges normalized behavior through the use of bold designs that address the user’s needs they were unaware was necessary to serve beneficial and functional purposes. Working with existing structures, I find inspiration in a building’s history, and aim to honor its past in modernized adaptive versions. I believe in celebrating the local, its history and culture to provide new opportunities and solutions for the people within them.

OBJECTIVE: According to recent studies, participation in the game of golf has significantly declined within the past decade primarily due to millennials not picking up the sport. Many reasons are because they view it as “boring”, prententious, and time consuming. This retail space will defy the traditional stereotypes of the sport of golf by attracting a younger generation in to a shopping experience that caters to the modern trends, interests, and lifestyles of the millennial generation.

COORPORATE OFFICE DESIGN Winter 2017
OBJECTIVE: The task for this project was to create a coworking office space for individuals and small companies to rent out on a daily or monthly basis. Addressing the needs of Georgia’s largest economy, I chose to create a professional coworking office space for members of the local AGRICULULTURAL community to meet outside of their farms and handle business with other types of players within the industry. This project will demonstrate how interior design can play a fundamental role in creating positive working experiences that foster collaboration, creativity and wellbeing amongst strangers in the workplace.

CONCEPT: A FARMER’S MARKET
CONCEPT IMAGES 1
C O N C E P T S TAT E M E N T
Every Saturday, the city of Savannah hosts the Forsyth Farmer’s Market; an important economic & social event that brings the local community and rural agricultural world briefly together. The interior design of this professional workspace is inspired after the layout of the Farmer’s Market, and the strong linear axis that naturally fosters social interaction between complete strangers. With a strong focus on workplace wellbeing, this space will provide a vibrant, fresh, and serene space for agriculturalists to branch out and take their business to the next level.

Suicide Rate by Occupation (per 100,000 people) Poor mental health in the farming profession is an international epidemic. According to recent surveys conducted by The Center for Disease Control and Prevention, those working in the agriculture industry hold the highest suicide rate compared to any other profession. Designing for workplace wellbeing, this space will adress the concerns of social isolation and stress that farmers face on a daily basis.

OBJECTIVE: For this project we partnered with a local business owner in Savannah to design the interior for his new restaurant that he was opening up downtown.
