!"#$#%&'()* !+,%-) The past two years have been a whirlwind of long days, late nights, and new programs. I definitely wouldn’t have made it through without the help from others. I would first like to thank my parents for their unconditional support and teaching me to work for what I want. I would like to thank my best friend for always being there with great advice and ways to make me smile. I would like to thank my ID girls for their support, laughter, and friendship. I would like to thank my instructors for sharing their enthusiasm and knowledge of design; especially Roberto Lama and Suzann Nordstrom for continually inspiring me to push myself further and showing me that the limits of one computer program don’t define the limits of design.

Embracing Evidence Based Design, research was done in the areas of functionality, human scale factors, sustainability, site visits, and case studies relative to performing arts venues. This information influenced the programming phase. Bubbles, prototypes, and concept sketches depicted above show the evolution of the design.
D?.22 Inspired by the city of Chicago and the colors of Danish modern design, this performing arts facility creates a unique aesthetic blending industrial with organic, both in materials and shape. Warm wood tones contrast with cool greys to create a balanced interior. The largely neutral color palette and varied finishes make the space a perfect precursor to the onstage performances. Durable, low VOC finishes are used throughout the space, where possible. Specialty flooring in the rehearsal space and on stage make the space safe for performers and fit the design intent. Low-flow and energy efficient fixtures are used to reduce the theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footprint. Large glazed windows fill the lobby with natural light and expose the beautiful view.

The growing company specializes in salon and spa interior design and also manufactures their own custom pedicure units, linen collection, and lounge furniture. As an intern, I have gotten to do a wide range of tasks, which included: creating purchase orders, putting together sample packets, creating preliminary floor plans in AutoCAD, producing 3D models in Google SketchUp, working with vendors to establish pricing, trade discounts, lead times, and shipping, administrative work. In addition to the tasks I worked on myself, being able to observe the full design process and work under a successful entrepreneur has provided me with valuable insight into the industry. On right are examples of my work with Michele Pelafas. Included is a cut sheet for a client presentation, a preliminary floorplan for a new salon franchise, and a concept board for prospective clients.
