ABOUT ME

My name is Collette Spring and I’m a senior majoring in Interior Architecture & Design at The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth! I’m passionate about creating spaces that are intentional, functional, and reflective of the people who use them. My design philosophy focuses on crafting environments that promote comfort, balance, and connection through natural materials, soft color palettes, and sustainable design choices. I strive to design spaces that not only serve a purpose but also evoke a sense of calm and well-being.

Reasoning: The dual-purpose bar space encourages customers to go from tasting to buying without breaking the flow of the experience. Instead of treating checkout as a separate zone, it feels like a natural extension of the bar area -Pop Up shops have small floor plans so making the L shape bar allows for more space.
