LIBRARY REDESIGN PROJECT The goal for this project was to completely redesign the first floor of Florida State University’s Strozier library, and to create a destination for students to relax and enjoy. This has been my favorite project so far because it allowed me to work in a group setting and collaborate with other people.

The design for this project was inspired by Copenhagen, Denmark. The design took cues from the city’s organizational structure, sustainable elements and overall environment. The space included statements such as reindeer moss walls, multiple lounge areas and acoustical lighting.

SKETCHES Sketching is one of my favorite way to express my design ideas. Since starting design school, marker renderings have always been one of my favorite things to do. As a designer, I think building up sketching skills are important, even though many drawings are now done in cad. I see hand drawing as a skill that will always be useful to me, and that will help me to organize my thoughts.

PARISIAN FLAT This Parisian apartment shows my first attempt at rendering with marker. This is still one of my favorite projects because of the bright, vibrant colors and the small architectural details within this Haussmann apartment building. This project helped me experiment with rendering and to develop a graphic style. My intent for this project was to go out of my comfort zone, which is my reasoning behind the multicolor design.
