ADRIAN KELLER
DESIGN PORTFOLIO
Hello!
My name is Adrian Keller and I am an aspiring Interior Architect/Designer with vast cultural and educational experience. This portfolio is an exhibition of my dedication and passion for design over my years at ASU. Originally from Portland, Oregon; I have lived in seven states which includes: - Oregon - California - Idaho - Texas - Alabama - Illinois - Arizona
Despite having moved so much throughout the years, I feel it was only beneficial because it is what sparked my passion for design. My mother is a professional decorator, and seeing how she was able to transform every house into a home, was very inspiring to me. I began aiding my mom in each renovation, whether it was concept sketches or material selections, and it was captivating to see my young visions come to life. It was not until I moved to Chicago where I started to develop a love for form and function in architecture. After moving to Arizona, I decided to expand my knowledge on Architecture and Interior Design, and eventually found myself with a Masters Degree in Interior Architecture.

- Arizona State University Downtown Phoenix (0.6 miles), Gateway Community College (3.0 miles), Maricopa Skill Center (3.0 miles), Phoenix College (4.2 miles), Grand Canyon University (5.1 miles)
Victoria (ASU) - “Overall it is a good school.
I hoped that there would be scholarship, volunteer, internships, or job opportunities for students. I think it is very crucial to have this as an undergrad, especially since many employers are looking
Mike (ASU) -“The cafe was my library, but there was a lot of drawbacks. From unreliable wifi, to cramped tables and spaces, no out lets, loud music, and so on.”
Erika (ASU) -“I really liked this campus. There are multiple campuses through ASU, I have been to three of the four, and this one is my favorite. I highly recommend taking some classes here if they are available. I do wish there were more places to eat and hang out nearby.”

V.E.R.B (VIRTUAL EXCHANGE RETAIL BUILDING)
Virtual exchange retail building, otherwise know as V.e.r.b. is an innovative retail space designed to merge the introspective experience of online shopping with the social aspects of the traditional retail experience.
As we retreat further into the virtual world, we lose touch with each other. Verb encourages consumers to leave their homes and embrace an interactive VR retail experience. Talk to friends and other shoppers, sip a drink from our cafe, and shop.
Talk. Sip. Shop.

Verb is comprised of:
• 16 retail spaces (otherwise known as pods)
• Four storage spaces, and one central cafe.
• Each pod is designed with a clean aesthetic that can easily be tailored to meet the needs of the renting retailer.
• A pod comes equipped with customizable interchangeable micro LED screens for display lining the back wall, adjustable colored recessed lighting, one central table with room for several VR headsets, and an option to change the accessories to a desired color palette.
Landscape: • Accessibility • Campus Integration • Local Plants • Promotes Engagement Design Features: • Location • Layout - Pods - Central Cafe Architecture: • Intersecting paths • Wheel chair accessible • Encourages continued • Traffic flow
The virtual experience doesn’t stop at V.E.R.B. After shoppers make their purchases and have it sent to their home, each packaging box will come with a foldable Google Cardboard. The Google Cardboard is able to turn your phone into a VR headset.
These VR experiences will have less interaction options with a heavy emphasis on marketing to encourage consumers to come back to Verb for the full VR experience
