About I believe that every space is a blank canvas—a story waiting to be told. As designers, it is our duty to manufacture authentic experiences that encompass an area’s rich culture and history, creating a sense of place and belonging. Design is an interconnected system. The holistic machine of design must communicate across all disciplines and elements to create harmony at all scales. Interior design serves as a marriage of art, architecture, psychology, problem-solving and consequential creativity. Every decision carries weight as they all impact one another and shape the space. The minute details are just as essential as the larger architectural forms as they all shape the human experience.

STORE OVERVIEW
RETROSPECT
Immersive - Interactive - Celebratory The Problem:
As we have entered the Digital Age, there has been a loss of artistic quality and expression. Mass media has allowed for limitless consumption at our fingertips. Culture identity has been robbed as decades are no longer defined by community.
The Solution:
Retrospect combats the issue of mass media consumption through reincorporating the pride of ownership, celebrating the evolution of technology and creating a community hub. This interactive retail experience appeals to nostalgia by making intangible tangible again, selling products that nod to the Retro Era, but incorporate the innovative technological advancements of today.

SCHOOL OF INTERACTIVE MEDIA
Dynamic - Stimulating - Bold KAPOW at the School of Interactive Media introduces a graphic environment, where occupants become the comic characters, creating their own story. At the School of Interactive Media, college is the next chapter and KAPOW aims to celebrate that big milestone through the process of story-telling. Throughout the design, the comic frame motif is manipulated, exposed, and deconstructed in various styles to bring the occupants into the comic cell. KAPOW connects back to the roots of journalism by focusing on primary printing colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK). The bold, playful space encourages occupants to collaborate and celebrate the graphic qualities of different majors and professions. The design serves as a backdrop for the creative work produced amongst students and employees.
