ABOUT ME
I am a third year Interior Design student at the University of Central Missouri. I am interested in pursuing a career in commercial design upon graduating. I am passionate about universal design and creating spaces that not only look aesthetically pleasing, but that will also function for different demographics of people. In this portfolio I have included projects from the last three years as well as the 2023 Fall Semester.

RPRETIVE CENTER RPRETIVE CENTER
I wanted this interpretive center to flow very smoothly with the overall aesthetics of this park In order to accomplish this, I incorporated plenty of neutral colors that can be found throughout the park as well as other facilities and lodging around the area I also incorporated the use of stone and wood to complement the rocks and trees and that be found right outside of the center and plenty of natural lighting Overall, I wanted my design to feel very natural and blend in with its surroundings.
