Retail Project Year: Fall 2020 Location: Philadelphia, PA Media: Autodesk Revit, Photoshop, Indesign, Enscape The purpose of this project was to study the demographics and stores within the area of New Hope, PA and come up with a store that would benefit in the area based off those aspects. The most important goals during this project were bring an experience within the space, connect three levels, and keeping up with the current pandemic and retail trends today through technology and materials.

Frayed is a jean store located in New Hope, PA. The concept revolves around the history of jeans through the extensibility of denim fabric. Overtime the fabric starts to fray and become stretched out. The curved forms represent the idea of distressing solid structures within the space and overall show the imperfections of beauty through jeans.

The material palette shows the imperfections of beauty through the sustainable and more industrial style. Therefore, the materials incorporate a more raw and rough texture to show the beauty of imperfect materials.

02 Tranquility Pod Year: Fall 2020 Location: Philadelphia, PA Media: Autodesk Revit, Photoshop, Indesign, Twinmotion The purpose of this project was to study a user groups stress and design a space that allowed them to go to when needed to cope with the stress and relax from their busy day. This project made you design around the five senses in order to get the full experience when in a tranquility pod.

The tranquility pod was designed around the self-esteem of gym members. The user group, gym members, are constantly comparing their physical body image from others, causing them to stress which ultimately affects their mental health as well. Therefore, the space shifts from an external to internal focus, making you feel lost in time and space while obscuring your body image through light and materials in order to focus more on your internal self.

Senior-Child Mentor Center Year: Spring 2020 Location: Philadelphia, PA Media: Autodesk Revit, Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator The purpose of this project was to design an intergenerational space that was utilized for both senior citizens and kids that could interact with each other through activities and learning. In order to understand the physical and social needs of the age groups, we collaborated with Occupational Therapy students at Jefferson.

Coalesce was a senior-child mentor center that was designed to represent the social needs of children and senior citizens through layers, density, and tension. The two generations blend together but also maintain their own identities. My partner and I explored how oil and water blend but also stay separate. These qualities ultimately represent the age groups within the space, allowing for a separate yet combined center.

Restaurant Model Year: Spring 2019 Location: Philadelphia, PA Media: Hand Modeling, Lasercutter Wood modeling allowed me to place myself in my own designs while utilizing skills that incorporated a more hands on experience.

CONCEPT: MY CONCEPT REFLECTS THE IDEAS OF HOW CURVES DEFINE DEPTH, SPACE, LIGHT, AND COLOR. I GOT MY INSPIRATION ON HOW NATURE USES CURVES TO DEFINE ITS SURROUNDINGS. WOOD, WATER, STREETS, METAL, AND MOUNTAINS ALL CURVE IN UNQUIE WAYS, WHICH DISTINGUISHS THEIR QUAILITES. STUDENT NAME: PERSONAL EMAIL: CLASS: PROFESSOR: SEMESTER:

SECTION 1

My passion for interior design started in highschool during my painting classes. Watercolor painting was my favorite because I was able to express my freedom and personality through the free flowing quailites of watercolor. This allowed me to use my creative thinking through colors, movement, and designs. This then led to my love for unique rendering styles and making the renders feel as if they are painting coming off the paper. It made me think of renders as not only a 3D image, but a work of art.
