AboutMe

Greetings, my name is Caneisha Edwards. I am a dedicated and passionate interior design technologist. I am bilingual, confident, hardworking and a fast learner always ready to try something new. I aspire to be an interior designer that allows others to self-express through their spaces. Within my portfolio, each project demonstrates my creative abilities, collaborative designs I have done with classmates, and, residential work I have done during my internship. As a designer, I am always looking for inspiration in small things and because of this it has taught me to be detail-oriented and to create beautiful designs.

MUNCH MUNCH

Community Center: Munch

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

Munch was a community center project designed in groups of two as our final studio project. The purpose of the project was to design a community center at the intersection of Bloor St W and Bathurst where the notorious, Honest Eds was situated. The goal was to design a community center that would bring the community together while achieving one of the 17 United Nations sustainable development goals. The goal chosen was to end hunger, which tied into our concept of zero. Munch demonstrated the UN goal and concept by having a soup kitchen, cooking classes, and numerous clubs to assist with food waste and food sufficiency. and a gardening club. During this term, this project came third in a material competition hosted by Consentino. The objective was to incorporate their material into the design. All images illustrated throughout are to showcase the final design of the space and what was presented for the completion. Design and illustrations were done in partnership with Klea Paco.

Munch is a center all about bringing a community together through the preparation and enjoyment of food, all while contributing to the cause of fighting hunger. Through the concept of zero, organic shapes have been explored with different dynamics of voidness and fullness. Cosentino's materials are bold, either through colour or pattern, and fit right in with the style of Munch, enhancing its joyous scene further. Each piece including Cosentino is custom-built demonstrating the versatility of each material.

Retail Store: Petit Bijou

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

Le Petit Bijou was a commercial project done in teams of two. We had to create a store in First Canadian Place, a small shopping center in Toronto, Ontario. We were encouraged to think out of the box and create a concept and design a store that would suit the malls surrounding. This project also competed in the Wilsonart Material competition, which meant we had to use their products throughout the store. The images presented to showcase the final outcome of the project are illustrated in our class presentation. As well as some materials and renders submitted to compete in the Wilsonart competition. The illustrations were designed and drawn in partnership with Laurel Adler.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

In this proposed kitchen located in Oshawa, On, the design was required to be modern and elegant. The client wanted to modernize the kitchen by changing the cabinet colours, appliances, and, hardware. The client also wanted to repaint their living room. This was the first time I have designed a slopped-style roof, and it was wonderful. With this kitchen design, I wanted to keep the cleanliness of modern design. To apply the request of elegance, the gold hardware and stainless steel appliance were a great touch and was loved by the client.

Renovating 4 rooms in this puckering home demonstrates talent and solo work.

The client also requested a feature wall for zoom calls to look professional. This project allowed for new design techniques to be used and creativity to flow freely.
