WELCOME

Hello, I’m Ada Lloyd, a recent graduate from the Savannah College of Art and

Design in Savannah GA, where I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Interior Design Originally from Philadelphia, I am passionate about creating

Growing up my life has always been shaped by a love for adventure whether

through running trails, exploring new cities or getting lost in a good book My

passion for design is driven by the belief that every space should tell a story, just like a great photograph or a beautiful sketch captures a moment in time I

view my work as a dynamic journey, one where each project is an opportunity to create something meaningful and authentic

I take pride in connecting with clients on a personal level learning about their

passions and dreams and turning those ideas into a space that feels uniquely theirs For me design isn’t just about aesthetics it s about building

relationships solving challenges and creating environments that inspire and uplift Outside of design I’m often out hiking or kayaking, finding inspiration in

nature and the world around me I approach both life and design with curiosity,

determination and an openness to new possibilities

The community center gave my kids a safe place to grow through music and art, keeping them focused and out of trouble, while also making me feel supported as a parent.

The community center is the first place where I feel like my art matters, and it has given me the tools and space to turn my passion into something real.

Growing up, I never had access to the kind of resources we offer here, so being able to give back and watch these kids find their voice through music is incredible

In the P C C A project, the

existing network of columns

and casework integrated into

the coffered ceilings is reimagined as a structural

and symbolic extension of the mural network concept

A dynamic, ever-evolving surface where visitors contribute their own

creative expressions becoming part of the

community’s collective story

Curved lounge chairs

encircle the columns, offering students a comfortable and inviting space to relax, socialize, or focus on afterschool work

02. READY-TOWEAR

IMMERSIVE FASHION RETAIL EXPERIENCE

In this collaborative studio course we designed a 10,000-square-foot pop-up

retail experience in Provence France with input from industry professionals including Jean Paul Gaultier and SCAD alumni Through site visits and peer

collaboration we applied human-centered design principles to create an immersive, sustainable brand experience. The project emphasized teamwork

and strategic problem-solving, deepening my understanding of designing
