MISSION STATEMENT: I strongly believe that in order to be a successful designer it is important to be well rounded, therefore my interests go beyond the interior space and reach out to the city in which they are derived. Every designer has their own inner personality that is trying to find its way out through artistic expression. For me, it is very important to stay true to myself, learn from others and to grow from international exposure.

STUDY ABROAD: ROME, ITALY, SUMMER 2010 Living in Rome for 3 months was truly an incredible experience.

Our days were spent practicing sketching techniques, visiting museums and part-taking in walking tours of the city. Various design professionals from around Western Europe accompanied our trip and gave insight on their design aesthetic and point of view. It was a true exploration of our inner design personalities.

CANVAS: A PORTLAND PUB, SPRING 2010 Canvas is a restaurant & bar designed for Portland’s historic White Stag building located in Old Town. The project has a retro theme and creates a casual, unique experience. The facade of the White Stag has a very historical nature. The classical exterior contrasts the contemporary interior by use of architectural elements, materials and lighting.

RIVERSTONE: PEDIATRIC CLINIC, WINTER 2010 Riverstone Pediatric Clinic uses careful detailing that sparks a child’s imagination.

It’s an adaptive re-use project located in Eugene, OR. The space is divided between administration and pediatric facilities. It uses “alleys” to divide exam rooms and takes advantage of large windows and double height space. This project mainly focused on interior detailing and space planning.

NOSTALGIA: CAFE, SPRING 2011 This is an adaptive-reuse project of a small building in Eugene, OR. The cafe project mixes the design with an attention to savvy detailing and sustainable thinking. This class taught me how to format and use proper graphic language and content in the production of a set of construction drawings. The final product was an abbreviated set of 24� x 36� construction drawings. All drawings produced using AutoCad 2011.

SHINING MOUNTAIN: K-12 SCHOOL, SUMMER 2011 During the summer of 2011 I interned for BLRB Architects, in Tacoma, WA. My project was to select materials and colors based off of construction drawings and specifications for Shining Mountain Elementary School. One of the most memorable tasks that I accomplished was to create a series of presentations that I presented both in-house to the principals of the firm and to the users, a group of 30 teachers.

The project is now in construction.

EMMA HAS A POSITIVE ATTITUDE, WORKS HARD AND DOES HIGH QUALITY WORK. WE THRUST HER INTO MULTIPLE DEADLINE DRIVEN, HIGH-STRESS SITUATIONS AND SHE PERFORMED AS A PROFESSIONAL. BY THE END OF THE SUMMER EMMA PRESENTED A FULL INTERIORS PACKAGE TO A CLIENT THAT SHE DEVELOPED ALONGSIDE THE DESIGN TEAM. EMMA SELECTED PRODUCTS, COLOR PALETTES, IMPLEMENTED DESIGN THEMES AND PRODUCED THE ENTIRE PRESENTATION. SHE WAS CONFIDENT AND ARTICULATE, LEADING THE MEETING, KEEPING IT ON SCHEDULE AND MANAGING THE MULTIPLE OWNER REPRESENTATIVES. OUR CLIENT RAVED ABOUT HER WORK AND WAS ASTONISHED THAT SHE WAS STILL IN SCHOOL.” - Ben Ferguson, Commercial Studio Director, BLRB Architects

After selecting colors and materials I created a set of material boards and a complete Color Schedule book that was passed onto the contractors to help aid them in the material construction process. The book entailed careful labeling, notation, and specification writing.

CO-HABITAT: MIXED-USE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, 2011-JUNE 2012

NE 20TH

My final interior architecture studio project is called Co-Habitat. For my thesis, I wanted to respond to the needs of recent college graduates between the ages of 21-33 and the prevalence of independently rented apartments that do not enhance social interaction. Co-Habitat promotes an affordable, semi-communal housing complex with a mixed commercial program.

Since this is an adaptive re-use project, I chose a site that consists of two buildings. Most of the commercial and residential spaces are placed within a three-story, 1927 brick and heavy timber building. I am repurposing the adjacent 1935 gas station as a diner. My intention is to create a place that encourages communal and collaborative activities while also inviting the local public in for mart and other commercial reasons.

“AS WE MOVE TOWARD MORE LOCAL, COMMUNITY BASED LIFE, MORE HUMAN SCALE LIVING ARRANGEMENTS WILL BECOME THE NORM. PEOPLE WILL LOOK TO SHARE MORE THAN OWN, THEY WILL LOOK TO LIFE STYLE THAT MAKE CONSUMING LESS MORE ATTRACTIVE AND EASY. BRING COMMUNITY AND COMMUNAL LIVING TO URBAN CENTERS AND PROVIDING A NEW ALTERNATIVE TO ISOLATION OF THE CITY AND THE SPRAWL OF THE SUBURB.”

STUDIO APARTMENT EXPANSION The design of the wardrobe uses a 36 degree angle that fosters a dynamic interior space and eliminates long hallways in the existing floor plan.

The wardrobe has a dual functionality, acting as both a storage piece as well as a sound barrier between the apartments and the film lounge.

STUDIO APARTMENT

In this project I am experimenting with two types of living units: studios and lofts. In some, I respect and then add to the 1927 existing units, in others, I have designed a new kind of loft living space to fit into the existing building boundary. These would be newly constructed to allow for shared terraces. All of the minimal units have similar elements making use of sustainable materials, custom modular furniture, and color palettes that speak to the trends this age group is concerned with.

51

MODULARITY AS A THEME

The angle of the wardrobe in the apartments inspired the design of the modular bench in the film lounge and the tables in the Co-Lab. Both furniture pieces provide for a range of lounge/work scenarios.
