About Me
Hello! and Welcome to my portfolio. My name is Aislynn Valdez. I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Herberger Institute at Arizona State University, receiving my bachelor of science in Interior Design.
During my time at Arizona State University, I had the opportunity to gain valuable studio experience, honing my skills in various aspects of interior design. Additionally, I had the privilege of working in different environments, including residential projects. These experiences have not only strengthened my leadership abilities, technical expertise, and creative thinking but have also broadened my understanding of diverse design approaches.
In my free time, I enjoy going on hikes, playing with my dog, and spending quality time with my loved ones. Traveling is a passion of mine, as it provides endless inspiration and exposes me to diverse cultures and design aesthetics. These experiences shape my design approach, allowing me to create spaces that resonate deeply with people and evoke a sense of wonder and connection.

Exhibit Research
The art exhibit brings a space full of art-based activities for children between the ages of 6-10 years old. This is a period in which cognitive abilities are still developing to eventually demonstrate abstract thinking and reasoning. The exhibit provides a space for visitors to engage in hands-on exploration and develop an appreciation for the arts.
Art is known to stimulate creativity, promote problemsolving skills, and encourage self-expression. Furthermore, art activities like painting, drawing, and crafts help establish connections between the brain and muscles. The exhibit also fosters socialization and movement, allowing children to interact with one another and build connections.
