ABOUT ME
Native to the beautiful landscapes of Littleton, CO, I've been sculpting my resilience and determination through a decade of gymnastics and five years as a competitive cheerleader. These sports instilled in me the knowledge that I am my greatest competition and the power to conquer challenges. A graduate of Valor Christian High School, I've seamlessly carried the ethos of self-motivation and discipline into my academic journey at Colorado State University. Currently immersed in the Interior and Architecture Design program, I'm gearing up to channel my passion and skills into the dynamic realm of professional design. Beyond the drawing board, my heart belongs to my family, and my spirit craves adventure through travel. Excellence is my constant pursuit, and I relish pushing my limits in every endeavor

EVIDENCE BASED DESIGN - COLOR THEORY
MEANING OF RIBBON COLORS
When sick with cancer, especially children who are much more hyper in their senses, colors can be perceived differently.
Certain colors have a more meaningful perception than others, like
"Pink: Unconditional love; all is well; creativity and creation
Red: Grounding and energy; strength to be well; fire and fun
Orange: Putting yourself back together again; bliss and blessings
Yellow: Sunshine, light, and joy, with laughter being the best medicine
Green: Space; decision making; taking heart and flowing with life
Blue: Calming after the storm; peace beyond understanding
Violet: Transforming thoughts into positive affirmations; inspiration
Magenta: Dynamic love; caring for the carer; healing love from above" (Shattock, 2001).

APPLICATION OF COLOR THEORY
Most (but not all) colors applied throughout the facility represent the colors of cancer ribbons
Colors are applied throughout the facility significantly through wayfinding
Applying various amounts of color provides curiosity, excitement, and ease in finding each space
ColorTheorytakescenterstageintheEvidenceBasedDesignofRestoredRelief,specificallythroughwayfinding.
Each area name on the directories is the color of the line that guides the user to that direct space to ensure clarity Provides excitement and curiosity throughout the facility
The wayfinding lines are colored per each space, feeding up the wall and down on the floor to create more fluidity when moving in the space
