A NEW VIEW NICK POULOS | INTERIOR DESIGNER
Design is a process; a never-ending cycle of thinking, planning, and generating new concepts and ideas. Design is powerful, it keeps the world moving forward. As designers, we recognize problems and find solutions, and the method through finding them is where design is so important. I’ve developed a design philosophy that is focused heavily on making everyday life easier for people, whether it is in the layout of the design, creating a functional wayfinding system, or designing an enviorment that people can feel comfortable in. By analyzing flaws in current interiors, my work begins to combat the problems in these existing spaces by creating solutions through a combination of space planning and stunning aesthetics, making the space function in the best possible way.
UNDERGRAD PROJECTS
BARANSU DOJO
CONCEPT WORD JOINT: BALANCED + HINGING
DETAILS | SOPHOMORE YR IA STUDIO 01 2015 PROJECT DESCRIPTION | This project required us to build a judo dojo by first studying and mapping the movement of the human body as it goes through a judo kata (move). The process was formed by first learning how to dissect the information gained from the movements. We then built a series of small models in relation to the movement of the joints throughout the move. We used Rhino to build, multiply, and manipulate these small models. The final steps were to pull sections and floor plans from the final Rhino product.
01 | SADDLE JOINT DIAGRAM
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED | This project was a great opportunity to develop 3D modeling skills in Rhino, as well as gain valuble knowledge in using illustrator to produce final presentations.

LIVING ROOM
PROJECT DESCRIPTION | The project was an exercise to get us to practice measuring an interior space as well as working on our space planning skills. We were to take our current living space [house, apartment, dorm room] and measure the space and furniture. We then had to configure it in a new way that made it more functional. In my apartment there were a lot of issues with the space including; a cramped kitchen with no natural light, and only one bathroom with the only point of entry being located inside the bedroom providing very little privacy.

SKILLS DEMONSTRATED | This project was a great space planning exercise that taught me the importance of space planning and sequencing in a space. I was not only able to make the kitchen larger, but I was also able to add a half bath for guests to use when visiting. All without having to cut significant square footage from the living room or bedroom areas. N

SERPENT MOUND VISITOR’S CENTER DETAILS | SOPHOMORE YR IA STUDIO 02 2016 PROJECT DESCRIPTION | The purpose of this project was to go to the historical site of the Serpent Mound in Ohio and analyze the site. We then had to identify the problems with the current visitor center. The main challenge to address was centralizing all the programatic elements scattered across the site. The new visitor center had to include a historical center showcasing the history of the mound, a small cafe for visitors to relax and grab a snack, and an observation deck to replace the current old, disconnected one . Among these programs I added two spaces large enough for classes and groups to congregate and speak about their expreience at the site.
12 | SERPENT MOUND VISITOR’S CENTER
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED | From this project I learned how to analyze a site and create a programatic based space, making it functional as well as aesthetically pleasing and inviting to the visitors. I bolstered my 3D modelings skills with sketchUp. I also got the opportunity to develop my digital and hand rendering skills.
CONCEPT MODELS: THROUGH A SERIES O F CONCEPT MODELS WE AIMED T O CREAT TENSION THROUGH THE USE OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SPACES WITHIN A 3” X 3” CUBE. FROM THERE WE EVOLVED MULTIPLE ITERATIONS USING ADDATIVE AND SUBTRACTIVE METHODS TO BETTER CREATE TENSION IN THE SPACE AND ULTIMATLEY CREATE OUR BUILDING.

HIDE-A-WAY HILLS CABIN
01 | ADJACENCY MATRIX PEN / MARKER
DETAILS | SOPHOMORE YR IA STUDIO 02 2016 PROJECT DESCRIPTION | For this project we were to create a small and space-efficient cabin. We were given a brief client profile and a footprint of the cabin the clients were purchasing. From there we were to gather the space needs, programatic requirements, and aesthetic taste from the clients. The final steps were to make all the required programatic and space needs fit into a small and limited space while at the same time evoke a feeling of openess and comfort.
16 | HIDE-A-WAY HILLS CABIN
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED | This project provided an opportunity to develop space planning skills that create a balance between function and aesthetics. I also developed a better understanding of the relationship between digital and hand design communication.

ALL SAINTS EPISCOPAL CHURCH DETAILS | JUNIOR YR IA STUDIO 03 2016 PROJECT DESCRIPTION | This studio project began with a trip out to New Albany, OH to meet with the Pastor of the All Saints Episcopal Church. We met with him about the issues with their current space and gained knowledge of the things he wished to see in a redesigned space. We all met with him again and gave our final design pitch. SKILLS DEMONSTRATED | This project was a great real world application of our skills. We learned how to respond in a client meeting by asking questions and learning about his concerns and desires for the space. We also learned valuable space planning skills by maximizing and reorganizing their space. We learned how to give a design pitch to a real client as well developing skills on how to speak about your design.

WALL DESIGN
WALL 01 DESIGN
DETAILS | JUNIOR YR IA STUDIO 04 2017 PROJECT DESCRIPTION | In this project we were given the task to design 4 different 20’ walls, each one being a different thickness. We were then to construct plans, sections, and rendered elevations of each of the wall designs.
32 | WALL DESIGN
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED | A fun project where we got to explore different ways to construct walls that can liven up a space. This was a good project for us to enhance our conceptual design skills. It also got us more familiar with different materials that can be used to create visually appealing walls.
DESIGN STATMENT |
INSPIRED BY A CAMERA SHUTTER, THIS WALL DESIGN IS MEANT TO EFFECTIVELY CAPTURE THE VIEW MUCH LIKE A CAMERA DOES, BY DRAWING NEARBY PASSERS CLOSER IN TO EXPERIENCE THE FULL VIEW. AS THE PEOPLE DRAW CLOSER TO THE OPENING IN THE WALL THEY ARE OFFERED MORE DETAILS AND A BETTER VIEW OF WHAT LIES ON THE OTHER SIDE. MATERIALS USED FOR THIS WALL INCLUDE MULTIPLE TYPES OF WOODS TO OFFER A WARM AND INVITING FELLING TO DRAW PASSERS CLOSER.

DESIGN STATMENT |
THIS WALL WAS MEANT TO CAPTURE THE FEELINGS OF FLOWING SOFTLY THROUGH THE SPACE IN WHICH IT IS INSTALLED. THE CURVATURE OF THE GLASS WALL ALONG WITH THE CURVED DESIGN OF THE FROSTED PATTERN PRINTED ON THE GLASS HELP DO JUST THAT. PAIRED WITH MORE CURVILINEAR SCENERY YOU CAN BEGIN TO FEEL HOW THE WALL CAN FEEL VERY WELL INCORPORATED AND GIVE YOU THE CALMING SENSE OF FLOWING THROUGH EACH AREA. A PERK OF THIS DESIGN IS THE FROSTED AREAS CAN BE COLOR CUSTOMIZED TO FIT ANY LOCATION.

ANOTHER TAKE ON THE GLASS WALL, THIS SIMPLE DESIGN USES THREE LARGE PARTITIONS MADE OF A WOOD COATED WITH A HIGH GLOSS BLACK RESIN FINISH. THE DESIGN IS MEANT TO BE PUT IN AREAS OF HIGH TRAFFIC AND ARE MEANT TO KEEP THE CROWD MOVING BY BLOCKING LARGE PORTIONS OF THE VIEW SO NO ONE IS INCLINED TO STOP. HOWEVER IT ALSO PROVIDES JUST ENOUGH OF A VIEW TO KEEP PASSERS WELL INFORMED OF WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE OTHER SIDE.

THE DESIGN OF THIS WALL IS BASED ON STRENGTH AND DURABILITY, THE WALL IS MADE OF 1” THICK COPPER SHEETS, BENT INTO MULTIPLE TRIANGLES. THE TRIANGLE AND METAL MATERIALS (BOTH STRONG IN THEIR OWN WAYS) MAKE A STURDY, YET VISUALLY APPEALING WALL. THE COPPER IS GIVEN A BRUSHED EFFECT TO GIVE IT A SOFTER FEEL TO THE TOUCH AS WELL AS THE EYE.

RECEPTION DESK DETAILS | JUNIOR YR IA STUDIO 04 2017 PROJECT DESCRIPTION | To mimic a real world application of our skills, this project required us to design a reception desk for client Saatchi & Saatchi’s office in New York. The project explored through model making, 3D modeling, and drafting technical drawings. SKILLS DEMONSTRATED | While delevoping my conceptual thinking skills to design a unique and interesting desk, I also further expanded my knowledge of construction documents. This project was finished by laying out construction document sheets, as well as drafting plans, sections, and details.

ATHENS VISITOR CENTER DETAILS | JUNIOR YR IA STUDIO 04 2017 PROJECT DESCRIPTION | The final project of my junior year was to layout and design a visitors center for uptown Athens, OH. The constraints of this project were the foot print and floor plans, which we were given, and a large vent between the 1st and 2nd floors that we weren’t allowed to move. SKILLS DEMONSTRATED | This gave me the opportunity to practice and refine the following skills in this project; 3D modeling, drafting, and conceptual design. All three of these developed in this project with custom furniture and wall designs, new rendering techniques, and cleaner 3D models.

DETAILS | SENIOR YR IA STUDIO 05 2017 PROJECT DESCRIPTION | This project was pulled from the 2017 Steelcase NEXT student design competition. The goal was to meet their requirements and stick within their guidlines when designing a modern day healthcare facility in Seattle, WA. We were to use only Steelcase related products and a 20% custom built furnishings.
52 | NEXT HEALTHCARE
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED | This project helped me hone in on my skills in furniture specifications. I researched all of Steelcase’s products to make sure my healthcare facility had the best furniture choices for each separate room. This project also gave me a chance a chance to use my sequencing skills to make sure the space flows as functional as possible. Among these skills I also created stunning rendered floor plans and perspectives.

PERSONAL PROJECTS
LO G O D E S I G N DETAILS | 2017 - 2018 PROJECT DESCRIPTION | A string of personal projects. These are a few logos I have created for, friends with a dream, people trying to make a name for themselves, and someone trying to get a company off the ground.
BRO ADCASTING
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED | This work shows my skills in conceptual thinking as I had to come up with a meaningful logo for each individual company that the owner could be proud of. To accomplish this I also developed a close relationship to each client making sure. I not only responded promtly to my clients but also spoke with them to really understand their mission and the dream that they have, in order to create the best logo for them.
BRINKER BROADCASTING
NICK
OF
TIME
DESIGN
Brinker Broadcasting started out as fun little name that my friend had on his website. He used this website as a portfolio to showcase his interviewing and video editing skills. He lacked the design knowledge on how to amp up the visual aspect. After sitting down with me, we created him a logo showcasing hockey and broadcasting his two main focus points. We also created a brand for him and carried this color scheme through his website and video graphics as well.
62 | LOGO DESIGN
The logo remains flexible and can be broken down to simplify it if needed. The hockey stick portion can also swapped out with other sports objects (golf club, baseball bat, etc..) for if and when he chooses to branch out and interview athletes of different sports.
CREASE CREW Crease Crew was a creation of my own. It was an idea I cooked up while playing hockey in North Carolina, it was intended to be a company that sold T-Shirts and clothes geared for ice hockey goalies. However, it was a hard business to get into. These days Crease Crew has been rebranded as a goalie school, in which kids can recieve instruction on how to develop the skills needed to play goalie in ice hockey. The logo is simple and clean, reflecting the concepts of a clean and controlled playing style that Crease Crew teaches to its students. The blue is chosen as a direct connection to the “crease” in Crease Crew, becuase it is the same color as the crease in most ice rinks.
BEAU’S GENIUNE This project was a bit more of a fun little venture to show respect for a close friend. Beau was an assistant coach for my college hockey team, he was also a bartender/brewer at a local brewery in our college town. He was also a popular guy within our team. To show respect, I made this logo that could be turned into stickers for him. The design was to take his face and focus on his signature beard and mustache that everyone on the team knew him by most. I then created a sticker in an old school label style. The logo is designed to act as a label or sticker that he could put on bottles or cans of beer should he ever choose to brew his own.
4T LOVE SPORTS 4T Love Sports was an idea that an old family friend approached me with. The client lives in Las Vegas and has made a good name for himself with the work he was doing out there. Recently he had gotten big into tennis and he wanted to make some shirts that he could sell around his tennis league. But his dream is bigger than just that. His goal is for 4T Love to specialize in items for all different types of athletes. The name of the company is meant to sound like the the term “forty love” in tennis. However it’s called 4T Love because the four t’s of the company stand for teamwork, toughness, tenacity, and triumph. He still wanted a large focus on the love aspect though becuase that is his ultimate goal through this is to spread love. His only requests were, that it was in a graffiti style of text, and contained bright colors. The design of the logo is flexible in that it can come in two forms. In the full version the heart is used as the “O” in the word LOVE and the L is what makes up part of the 4 in the 4T. the simple version the letters from LOVE are stripped away and is simply implied by the heart beside the 4T.
BOBCAT OVERTIME Bobcat overtime began as an idea my friends had to do weekend recap videos for Ohio Unviersity’s division 2 hockey team. The goal was to boost the popularity of the team on campus as well as provide parents and family back home an update on how the team was doing. I happily volunteered my time for this project, and what we produced (which can be viewed later) for the team sparked something in club hockey. Other teams began having a larger online and social media prensence and my graphics set a bar that other teams were trying to reach. The logo for this project was meant to capture everything that Bobcat overtime was. The collegiate text to show its a college club team. The state of Ohio and the hockey sticks mapping Athens, OH, to show the location of the team and show. And the scratch marks to show the strength of a Bobcat.
SOMEWHERE IN MINNESOTA This was a project my cousin approached me about. Little was known about his venture or plans. What he was looking for was a simple logo to reflect his families adventures, through the nature of Minnesota, that they take in their camper.
BRINKER BROADCASTING DETAILS | 2017 - 2018 PROJECT DESCRIPTION | As part of my association with Brinker Broadcasting I not only designed the logo but I help create all of the on screen graphics for his interview videos.

WORK PROJECTS
SMALL SCALES DETAILS | 2016 - 2018 PROJECT DESCRIPTION | Part of my job at the University Planning dept. of Ohio University, is to draft small scales. In our office we focus solely on all the space, assignable and non-assignable. Because of this our office requires simplified AutoCAD drawings of all buildings on campus that we can use for space planning, walk throughs, and meetings with other departments requesting space changes. In the office it is part of my job to simplify these drawings, and update old drawings into our new office standards. Making sure we have consistent drawings with everything on the proper layers is key.
84 | SMALL SCALES
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED | These small scales have helped me master my drafting skills. In my two years at the office I have completed 85 small scale building updates. I have become not only a very fast drafter, but I am also thourough in my quality control, making sure I always turn in a clean final product with no errors.

TEST FITS DETAILS | 2016 - 2018 PROJECT DESCRIPTION | One of the key parts of my job is assisting with some space planning and test fits. Test fits are what we do when a department comes to us with a space request to move due to a space related issue they have. Our job is to assess the problem and understand their needs. We then begin looking for solutions across campus where they may have a better fit. SKILLS DEMONSTRATED | These test fits taught me valuable skills in space planning and visualizing space. Along with those space planning skills, I practiced my layout and presentation skills, as I had to effectively capture all the information so that even someone who doesn’t work in interiors or planning could still understand what we were proposing.
88 | TEST FITS
To do this I began asking myself a few questions in the process of each test fit; Who is the department, and where are they now? What are the issues? What are they proposing they need? what are our options of space to move them? Which space works the best? Through these questions I was able to create efficient and clean presentations for my boss.
