INTRODUCTION My Name is Emily Dye. I just graduated in the spring of 2024 with my associates in Interior Design from Salt Lake Community College. I have always loved designing spaces and figuring out the best way to use a space. I am so excited for this new chapter of my life!

A few things about me are I love to travel, be crafty and creative, and I love everything Disney.

The Cosmopolitan Club Project Summary For the Cosmopolitan Club project, I took on the design and planning of a multi-functional building mainly focusing on hosting a restaurant. I focused on creating a friendly yet formal ambiance. I had to divide the space into seven different areas. Those being entry, bar/lounge, main dining, two private dining rooms, a manager's office, two restrooms, and a food service facilities.

The B’s Living Room

Clients Needs: The B’s are a young couple in their twenties. The B’s enjoy outdoor sports when the weather is warm. She is an elementary school teacher. They like having friends over to watch movies or play video games while enjoying take out food. They also have a pet dog.

Project description and goals: The space being designed is the living room. They would like plenty of space for casual seating to have friends over. They would like durable upholstery fabrics so they can use them for years to come.

Project Summary For this project, I focused on space planning and designing a living room for a young couple who enjoys entertaining friends, watching movies, and spending time with their dog. Their requirements included ample casual seating, durable and pet-friendly upholstered furniture, and a design that reflects their love for the outdoors.

The main challenges were finding upholstery fabrics that combined durability with aesthetic appeal and creating an optimal layout for entertaining. Despite these challenges, the final design successfully blends functionality with style. The space features greens and browns, capturing the couple's outdoor interests while maintaining a comfortable and clean ambiance. The durable upholstery ensures longevity and petfriendliness, making the living room both practical and inviting. Overall, the project achieved a harmonious balance between the couple's lifestyle and their design preferences.

Skills Used in This Project Space planning, problem solving, knowledge of upholstery fabrics, drafting, rendering

One Point Perspective Drawing Project Summary

This may have been the most challenging project I have worked on in school. We started off by measuring the space and furniture given to us, we then drew out a perspective grid to help us draw, after that we started drawing the walls, floor, ceiling and furniture. We worked at a 1’=1/4” scale. Drawing at a scale was very challenging. Once everything was drawn in, we proceeded to color the drawings and match inspiration images we found. We had to match the color as perfectly as possible and try to mimic textures. Once our drawings were completed, we transitioned into SketchUp to create a digital rendering of the finished product. This project not only enhanced my technical drawing skills but also deepened my understanding of translating design concepts into a precise, scaled representation

Curb Appeal Before

After

Project Summary For this project I had to change the color of the house, remove the overgrown plant, take away the existing porch mailbox and replace it with one on the street, and clean up the yard

Skills Used in This Project Photoshop tools including, spot healing, polygonal lasso, clone stamp

SketchUp Project Summary These SketchUp projects allowed me to explore space planning, material selection, and 3D modeling. The image to the right focused on designing a kitchen layout, where I configured the space, selected colors and chose materials to bring the design together.

The next project I worked on involved creating a bedroom where I arranged furniture to optimize the rooms layout and functionality. The last project challenged me to translate the one-point perspective (pg ) drawing into SketchUp. Incorporating similar materials. This was the most challenging project because of the shelves and fireplace, but it pushed me to improve my skills.

Skills Used in This Project Space planning, material and color selection, 3D modeling, 2D to 3D

Project Summary For this project, I designed a two-story building with a soda shop on the ground floor and a home on the top floor. The project required creating detailed floor plans for each level, incorporating space planning, electrical layouts, and exterior design. I also drew elevations and developed schedules for both floor plans. This project required precision and attention to detail, helping me better understand the technical aspects of architectural drafting. It was a great experience to see how different design elements come together in a plan.

Revit

15

Project Summary This project showcases a modern 2-bedroom home floor plan that I designed in Revit. It was my first deep dive into the program where I learned essential tools like wall, door, and window placement, as well as components, floor, ceilings and more. Through this project, I developed skills in creating detailed floorplans, drawing elevations, and showcasing everything through 3D models.

Learning Revit at SLCC was both challenging and rewarding. It was exciting to see my designs come to life as I learned the program.

Skills Used in This Project Basic Revit tools, floor plan development, elevation drawing, problem solving

Short Term Rental Designs

Skills Used Space Planning, Floor plan analysis, developing design themes, furniture selection, functionality, budget, project management, meeting deadlines

17

Rustic aviation theme Jungle Theme

My experience designing short term rentals involved taking projects from initial concept to completion, blending creativity with practicality. I began each project by looking at the floor plan and developing a design or theme tailored to the space. From there, I created a floor plan for optimal space planning and selected furniture that fit the style, theme, and layout while staying within the budget. Balancing the design, functionality, and the budget was key while also staying within the project timeline. This allowed me to refine my ability to create inviting, cohesive spaces that cater to the guests needs and enhance their stay.

Staging

Skills Used Furniture selection, styling and arranging, collaboration, attention to detail, problem solving

19

My staging experience involved transforming homes into inviting, market ready spaces. The process began with looking at walkthrough videos or visiting the home to look at the layout and style. From there, I selected furniture and décor that complimented the space. Once the items were chosen, they were loaded up and carefully transported and arranged at the property. Staging required attention to detail and the ability to style each area to highlight the homes best features and appeal to potential buyers. I really got to understand the importance of staging and how it makes a huge difference in the selling market.

Thank You Thank you for taking the time to review my portfolio. Each project represents my passion for design and the skills I've developed throughout my journey. From working in programs like Revit, SketchUp, and AutoCAD to designing short term rentals and staging homes, I've gained experience in creating thoughtful, functional spaces while balancing creativity with technical precision.

Throughout my projects, I've worked on everything from perspective drawing, hand drafting, and photoshop to understanding building codes, occupancy classifications and ADA requirements. These experiences have taught me the importance of combining creative design with practical applications to meet both aesthetic and functional needs.

Each step of this journey has refined my skills in space planning, furniture selection, and hand drafting while reinforcing my ability to adapt, solve problems, and bring concepts to life. Thank you again for taking the time to review my work. I look forward to sharing more about my passion for design.

Sincerely, Emily Dye
