Hannah Rasing
INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO
Hi, I’m Hannah!
I want to create spaces that people want to be in. If it’s a home, I want them to feel calm and relaxed and at peace when they are there. If it’s an office, I want users to feel inspired and motivated to take on the day. I love curating spaces, finding the right mix of colors and pieces to emphasize what the space is and what its intended purpose is. I’ve always been inspired by places that are beautifully designed and I like knowing that I could invoke that response in others. Some of these projects can be overwhelming, but when I really love the direction I’m going and the pieces I’m finding, it doesn’t feel like work. That’s how I know I finally found the right career for me. I can’t wait to bring that passion and creativity to my career!

OBJECTIVE:
Design a branded boutique hotel unique to a chosen US city
CONCEPT:
VanBrigs is a boutique hotel situated in the scenic city of Vancouver, Washington. Vancouver has a rich naval history that has inspired the hotel’s overall design. Inspired by the surrounding environment, the hotel will incorporate shades of blue, orange, and cream, complemented by rich walnut wood accents. This thoughtful palette and choice of plush materials will foster an atmosphere of warmth, comfort, and relaxation for guests. The design choices will accumulate in a distinctly seaworthy hotel.
