Incorporation of a fully furnished apartment as well as amendities needed during the stay were required. *In collaboration with Madison Demberg* Completed in Revit & Photoshop.

TEXTILE DESIGNS PROJECT INFO & BACKGROUND This project was an exercise to teach the basics of Adobe Illustrator through creating a custom textile that could be utilized for furnishings & print work. Extending beyond the classroom I started creating custom textile prints in honor of my friends and family. This inspired me to pick colorways, shapes & textures that I felt represented the person I was designing for.
CONCEPT SEA TURTLE SHELLS
CONCEPT STATEMENT Sea turtles are one of the water’s most favorited species. The sea relects their fluid movement and elegance. Along with their graceful transitions they carry a shell that acts as protection and a home. The geometric shapes and reflectance of the water make sea turtle shells an inspiring design that can be shared and cherished among all.
COLOR THEORIES BLUE is the peaceful connection between the mind and body
PASTEL allows for a feeling of light, soft, and serenity PINK is a sensation of affection, insight, and nuture
