INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO
ALEXANDRA RUBIN
EDUCATION
AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, I SPENT A YEAR AT UCF BEFORE MOVING TO LOS ANGELES, WHERE I WORKED IN THE ENTERTAINMENT AND HOSPITALITY INDUSTRIES FOR A DECADE IMMERSED IN FAST-PACED, CREATIVE ENVIRONMENTS. IN 2021, I RETURNED TO SCHOOL TO PURSUE MY PASSION FOR DESIGN, EARNING A BFA IN INTERIOR DESIGN FROM SCAD. MY JOURNEY HAS GIVEN ME A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE, BLENDING STORYTELLING, FUNCTIONALITY, AND EMOTION TO CREATE SPACES THAT ARE BOTH THOUGHTFUL AND IMPACTFUL

WORKEXPERIENCE
MY DIVERSE WORK EXPERIENCE SPANS SEVERAL INDUSTRIES, INCLUDING ENTERTAINMENT, HOSPITALITY, AND INTERIOR DESIGN. I VE HONED MY ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND AND ENHANCE CLIENT EXPERIENCES, FIRST THROUGH MY ROLES IN HIGH-PACED ENVIRONMENTS IN LOS ANGELES AND NEW YORK, AND LATER THROUGH MY DESIGN WORK AT SCAD AND OTHER INDEPENDENT PROJECTS. FROM COLLABORATING WITH CLIENTS ON RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL CONCEPTS TO SOURCING MATERIALS AND MANAGING CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS, MY EXPERIENCES HAVE SHAPED MY ADAPTABLE, DETAIL-ORIENTED APPROACH TO DESIGN I’M EXCITED TO BRING THIS MULTIFACETED BACKGROUND TO EVERY PROJECT I TAKE ON.

SerenityWithinSolitude
Serenity in Solitude is a spa concept focused on privacy and personal escape. A warm color palette of earth tones and natural textures creates a calming atmosphere, while strategic partitions foster a sense of seclusion. The design offers a tranquil retreat, allowing guests to disconnect and fully unwind in a space that promotes relaxation and inner peace.
