TORA COURSEY 3RD YEAR INTERIOR DESIGN STUDENT

EMAIL: TORACOURSEY@GMAIL.COM PHONE: 978-505-5882

Welcome to my portfolio! I am currently a third year student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in interior design and a Bachelor of Business Administration in entrepreneurial management at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. I believe in creating space by taking influences from the past and present while infusing a modern sensibility, and I hope my work can speak for that. I hope it conveys that I love what I do, and I find excitement within every project. What it might tell you is that I am only starting on my path to finding my design process. I have enjoyed being the first student to attempt both the Neeley School of Business and the TCU interior design program. The time management skills I have learned by taking all these courses have made me an efficient and quick learner, while also being thorough. I hope to use my business education to further have an understanding of the finance process that goes into creating a cost effective project that aligns with client expectations.

South Main Fort Worth, TX

Interior Design III

Challenge: Design a Mexican restaurant located in the South Main District in Fort Worth. One specialty space will be required and a minimum square footage for each part of the restaurant. Concept: The South Main Urban Village of Fort Worth is the ideal location for a new Mexican restaurant with close proximity to the Medical District, Railway Express, and Magnolia Street. The Mexican culture is traditionally known for having bright colors and intricate street decorations. The restaurant will be an artesian style Mexican, taking traditional recipes and adding modern twists. We will invite local artist/ design schools to showcase their graffiti art, having it change each year. The main influence of the design style and menu is industrial while incorporating the values and principles of the urban planning.
