Ainsley_Schraeder_Portfolio

Welcome

I A M S O G L A D Y O U A R E H E R E .

I’m Ainsley Schraeder, a junior at Texas Tech University majoring in Interior Design with a double minor in Architecture and Business Administration. Passionate about creating meaningful, humancentered spaces, I am particularly drawn to commercial design, where architecture and interiors come together to shape memorable experiences. With a strong appreciation for sustainability, collaboration, and innovation, I seek to design environments that are both functional and inspiring. My ability to visualize spatial layouts and materiality enhanced by my dyslexia gives me a unique perspective in approaching design challenges. I thrive in hands-on, team-oriented environments where ideas flow freely, and solutions are crafted with purpose.

Saudi Arabian Residence

Design Concept

Imagine arriving in Saudi Arabia, where the warmth of the sun greets your skin and a soft breeze moves through the air. The landscape is filled with stunning sandstone, its rich colors and textures telling a story of time and nature. As you run your fingers over its surface, you feel the organic patterns shaped by wind and water. This sense of peace and connection to the environment is what I aim to reflect in my design blending natural light, earthy textures, and calming tones to create a space that feels both grounded and inspiring

Historic Atlanta Condo

Design Concept

Atlanta is a city of bold contrasts where modern energy meets deep-rooted Southern charm. It’s a place that feels both fast-paced and inviting, much like stepping into a vintage shop filled with eclectic treasures and unexpected finds At first, the layers of history and style may seem overwhelming, but as you settle in, you begin to appreciate the warmth, personality, and authenticity behind it all. This project is designed to capture that same feeling bold yet welcoming, energetic yet comfortable a home that tells a story and invites you to be part of it.

Study Abroad Sketches

During my three-week study abroad in Italy, I explored the country’s rich architectural and interior design history, touring historic landmarks, museums, and contemporary spaces to better understand how culture and craftsmanship shape design. Along the way, I documented moments that stood out to me through sketching, including a quick blackand-white sketch of a quiet street while studying at a café, a detailed drawing of the Duomo, capturing its intricate façade and grand scale; and a sketch inspired by a photo I took inside a historic artist’s houseturned-museum, depicting a painting station frozen in time. These sketches reflect my eye for detail, my appreciation for architectural storytelling, and how history influences the spaces we design today.
