About me:

I am an aspiring interior designer with a passion

for hospitality and residential design. I

thoroughly enjoy the creative process–

especially conceptualizing new ideas and design

solutions. I am from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Aside

from Interior Design, I also have a passion for

travel and hope to visit many exciting places in

the future. My love for traveling is closely tied

to my love of interior design, as I enjoy seeing

new places and the impact that the local design

can have on a individual’s experience and

memories of a specific place.

The goal for this project was to design a kitchen that was

spacious and efficient enough to handle multiple cooks, as

the grandparents have moved in with the family. Also, the

mother is a stay-at-home mom and homeschool teacher and

desired something that would feel relaxing and clean at all

times. A cool, clean color scheme was chosen; and simple,

elegant materials were specified such as wood flooring and

marble countertops.

Reference

The goal of the homeschool portion of this home renovation

was to create a space that encouraged a hands-on learning

Approach, but could also be shut off from the rest of the home

in order for the mother and children to “turn school off.” The

design inspiration came from the tents found in the children’s

book Where the Wild Things Are. The color palette was drawn

from this as were the draperies that are used to separate the

reading loft from the rest of the space.

Preliminary Research

The goal of this project was to create a high-end

bistro and innovative cooking school that was

destination specific. Limpopo, South Africa, was

the chosen destination for my project.

Preliminary research was done to determine what

the local cooking methods were and the type of

dishes that are prepared. In this region, meals are

served family-style and most cooking is done on

large grills. Using this as inspiration– grill-top

tables were designed for the main dining area. The

overall aesthetics were inspired by the rustic

lifestyle of the local culture, and their bright

clothing and artwork.

The Community compassionate Care Center was

comprised of a childcare facility, women’s

shelter, public medical facility, and public

legal offices. Sustainable design played a big

role in this project. The concept for this

project was to create a restorative and highly

Functional facility

using elements taken from nature such as

natural lighting, green and tan color schemes,

and tactile texture on the furnishings. The

space should inspire its inhabitants to regain

freedom and security over their lives.

The goal of this project was to design a custom reception desk for

the medical wing’s waiting area in the Community Compassionate

Care center. Since sustainable design was a big part of this project,

the design for this piece was based off of a tree. It features acrylic

trees and the face of the desk has a custom designed “living wall”

with live plants.

Selection

The concept for the hotel lobby and restaurant is to create

a rich, inviting destination for the senses inspired by brass

instruments. Not only is Valencia known for its food, it also

has a well-known musical culture, which is one of its biggest

attractions. A warm color palette utilizing the brass of the

instruments and bold accent colors will be used throughout the

space to reinforce the rich nature of Valencian culture. Sleek

surfaces will be found on the floor,

millwork, and fixtures in the space; and will serve as con-

trast to the rough texture on the wall-surfaces. Drawing upon the

curvilinear nature of brass instruments, curving lines and

patterns will be used in the layout and ceiling plan of the

lobby and restaurant to help with way-finding. Warm lighting will

be used to enhance the colors and

texture of the selected materials. To emphasize the musical

Inspiration, a stage and three-piece band will be located in the

atrium dining area.
