WELCOMEABOUT ME

My passion for design began when I was a little girl and was look-ing at the window displays at Bergdorf Goodman in New York

City where my father worked as a contractor. I became mesmer-ized by these intricate and unique window displays and, even at a young age, knew that I wanted to become a designer. I have

always been a little different and have always prided myself on my individuality, and thus I have continuously set a standard for myself

to never design anything that has been done before.

Within this portfolio, I have put much emphasis on creative devel-opment and unique architectural elements to create sophisticat-ed projects from concept to compleition. My goal for the future is

to continue pushing creative boundaries to succesfully become an innovator in this industry.

ONE PINECHILDCARE CENTER

One Pine is a Childcare Center for children ages 3-6. The inspiration for this facility is Soo Sunny Park’s “Unwoven Light” installation. She uses geometric forms with a fl u-id quality to them, which is then transformed into a concept mod-el made of geometric wood and hand colored hot glue to create a concept of Quiet vs. Dynamic.

INSPIRATION: UNWOVEN LIGHT

CONCEPT MODEL

The facility houses 2 classrooms, a climbing play space, a tiny town, faculty offi ces and a public book store. The climbing structure was in-spired by the manufacturer “Luck-ey Climbers” and is intended to have children staying active and stimulated despite the fact that they are indoors. The color palette of the space is neutral to instill the quiet concept, while adding an accent color of lime green to fur-ther exemplify the dynamic idea.

FLOOR PLAN

This studio was executed as a group project with a partner, with the goal of designing a N.Y.C. penthouse apartment for a middle-aged mar-ried couple. The concept for this de-sign was, Innovative Elegance. This concept was then implemented in all of the rooms and then was given ei-ther a feminine or masculine touch.

The formal dining room was de-signed with a more feminine style to express the classic elegance of the space. This was highlighted with the use of the Nancy Cor-zine dining table and credenza, as well as the classic dining chairs from 1st dibs, an antique suppli-er. The walls are painted with a very neutral sand color with the accent in the room being the purple drapery and upholstery.

The client expressed that they would like a multi-use informal living room that they could use for more personal gatherings with guests and family members but also has privacy capabilities. Using the con-cept of multi-use space, the room was transformed into an entertain-ment room and bar/ game room with a rotating wall unit in the mid-dle. The concept was to give the couple as many options for enter-taining as possible. Thus, one side is a large fl at screen T.V. while the other side is a full usable bar with seating. Taking the concept of ver-satility even further the two walls fl anking the rotating unit are pock-et walls and slide directly inside of the rotating wall so that the space can then either be an open plan for larger quantities of guests or closed off for more privacy. With help from my partner, we were able to design a ball bearing system in which the wall and fl oor are able to rotate to make this concept plausible.

LOGO

The Yeouju Explorers are a contemporary amusement park design fi rm (in-spired by the Disney Imagineers) that uses some of the latest technology to expand children’s perception of reality. The fi rm was originally an international company located in Korea and they are now coming to the states for the fi rst time to expand their theme parks and create a broader fan-base. The Yeouiju Explorers think far outside the box and beyond in to the depths of their imagi-nation to create new and innovative designs for their clients. With this in mind, this commercial space was designed to refl ect the creative explorer in all of us.

The Yeouiju theme parks offi cial mascot is a Korean dragon searching for the Yeouju Orb. It is said in ancient Korean mythology that whoever could wield the Yeouiju was blessed with powers of omnipotence and creation at will.

360 DIGITAL INTERACTIVE ROOM

The 360 Digital Interactive Room in which one may fully immerses oneself into the rides and events that would be held at the theme park. This is made possible through the use of the latest technology in human-action recognition by Micro-soft called Kinect. This depth camera exploits structural light to sense the depth map in real time. Thus, with this technology the Explorers are able to check all visual aspects of their projects, rides and events that they design, long before they are actually constructed. This space can also be used for guests on a guided tour to get a behind the scenes look at the interactive rides and events.

CAFE

OFFICE

The Yeouiju Explorers also have many other workspace needs, such as, collaborative spaces in which dif-ferent teams can come together to create intricate designs. The facility also has multiple different confer-ence rooms for this use, as well as many different lounge areas where the Explorer’s can come and relax.

The concept of the space was to refl ect the Korean infl uences of the headquarters, while also incorporating the dragon theme into an informal work environment. This was then translated into self-illuminating dragon scales dispersed along the ceiling of the work space to represent a large dragon. The dragon scales are made of blue speckled Plexi-glass with self-illuminat-ing LED tape lights, which creates a calming and relaxed mood, perfect for work conditions.

LOBBY

RECEPTION INSTALLATION/ MODEL SHOP

Keeping with the dragon scales theme, within the reception area, there is a permanent in-stallation that will surround the Model Shop. The purpose of the installation is to feel as if you are really inside of the dragon’s body. The model shop will house two 1/8” scaled models of pre-viously designed theme parks (one from Seoul and one from Paris). The goal of these mod-els is to inspire the employees while also exemplifying to guests their accomplishments thus far.

XYHOSPITALITY

In this studio we were to work in a group of three other interior design students, as well as, two hos-pitality management students. The goal of the course was to learn how to design to meet a cli-ent’s needs (i.e. hospitality students). We met frequently to review and discuss each step of the design process, from concept, to space planning to rendering, and everything in between.

The concept of Hotel XY and Prime Bar and Restaurant exemplifi es a tailored, crisp and mas-culine aesthetic. A neutral palette of bold, high contrast, textural fi nishes, paired with luxuri-ous furnishings came together to create a harmonious atmosphere. Upon arrival into the lob-by of Hotel XY, guests fi rst experience the dramatic Chihuly glass sculptural installation which is the centerpiece of the grand lobby. The design of Prime Bar and Restaurant is centralized around the uniquely shaped bar, facilitating social interaction and a lively environment. Moving upstairs, there is a private scotch lounge for guests that further refl ects the concept of allure and luxury.

EXPEDITIONELEMENTSSENIOR THESIS

LOGO

PROJET STATEMENT: Expedition: Elements is designed for chil-dren to expand their horizons and ex-plore new things with the use of the latest interactive technologies. Our main goal is to bridge the gap between learning and fun to create an unforgettable ex-perience for these children.

RESEARCH SUMMARY: The middle and lower classes make up nearly 80% of the population in Philadel-phia according to a recent survey by the U.S. Census bureau. This means that 35.9% of children are below the pover-ty level. This directly relates to the edu-cational achievement levels of these children in that; children of low socio-economic status are at risk for lower ac-ademic achievement. According to the national census, the educational attain-ment level in Philadelphia is well below the national average.

WHAT CAN WE DO? Create a broader notion of education! High-quality child-hood programs outside of the school classroom have the ability to support academic learning and child and family welfare. In child development, the em-phasis is placed on parent involvement, and the social resources provided by childhood programs can be valuable supports to children and families facing challenging circumstances.

HOW? This can be accomplished through the use of Play as a form of learning. Learning through play gives children the opportunity to decide how they want to spend their day.

The graph summarizes the learning out-comes of 181 children using this learning by play strategy against the Govern-ment’s Development Matters Document (which describes the areas and progress children should be making at each mile-stone). This study proves that while en-couraging children to explore on their own within their environment, the major-ity of the children studied scored highly on the assessment and many even ex-ceeded the average expectation for said milestone.

WHERE? Children’s museums provide additional educational resources out-side of school classrooms that create innovative programs to meet special community needs. The main goal of any children’s museum is to motivate chil-dren to develop their cognitive, physi-cal and social skills while also interacting with adults and peers. These facilities provide spaces that help supplement traditional education by encouraging children to learn through play and ex-ploration in environments designed just for them.

CLIENETELE: Children ages 7-13 and their parental fi gures, as well as schools and local community groups. Expedi-tion: Elements will have a program that allows for local schools to come to the facility for free so that kids with less fi nan-cial opportunities still get to experience the fun of informal learning at Expedition: Elements.

STAGE DESIGNMIDSUMMER NIGHT DREAM FESTIVAL: IN PROGRESS

The concept for this stage design is a series of geometric forms inspired by prisms. The goal for ‘Midsummer Fusion’ is to add another layer of interest to this musical performance. For this event, We Present will not only be cap-turing its audience through its uniquely talented musical artists and produc-ers, but also through the captivating stage design. ‘Midsummer Fusion’ will blend the sense of sound and sight together to form a synesthesia like creation. ‘Midsummer Fusion’, is to be built out of wood and painted white to give the design a more refi ned look. This also creates for a more versa-tile platform in which live visual artists can then collaborate with ‘Mid-summer Fusion’ to give the stage more depth and visual interest.

BAR

After working at Floss Barber Inc. For nearly 6 months, I was assigned my fi rst project to run on my own. I was challenged with re-design-ing the current Drexel Hospitality and Management restaurant and bar in the Paul Peck Problem Solving and Research Building on Drexel Universities’ campus. This space is used for hospitality and culinary students to learn the in’s and outs of owning and operating a restaurant and bar. The space is also often used by many of the other school programs for fundraising and community style events.

The goal was to give the current space a contemporary spin and really lighten the mood of the rooms with neutral fi nishes to create for a more calming and true multi-use space. The bar currently has a few standing tables but no real seating, so I have designed a banquette with multiple 2 tops, for more versatility. Not only did I design the space, as well as select the fi nishes, I also creat-ed a full budget determining the price of furniture and fi nishes.

DISECTION/ INTERPRETATION OF SONG

This assignment was to design a chair based off of an inspiration. My inspiration was one of my favorite Indie-Rock bands, Neutral Milk Ho-tel. Every cut within the Plexi-glass represents my interpretation of their song, “In An Aero-plane Over The Sea”. The song appears dark at fi rst, but with a closer look has a positive mes-sage about enjoying every little moment in life.

MAD TEA PARTYSCULPTURE - MULTIPLES

For this project we were to use a small found object to create plaster multiples to transform our original object into a new form. Through the process of gel molding and plaster casting, I was able to create a dynamically unique form nothing like the common teapot.

This assignment was to select a small found object and 3D scan it and then using the program Mesh Mixer, to digitally transform the object in some way. We then took these digital transfor-mations and used a CNC Router (with the help of our professor) to make our objects life size.

I selected an old rotary phone and transformed it to have the receiver and speaker fl ipped. The concept for this piece was to represent how people in today’s society are

no longer listening nor being heard.
