Isabella Borelli

I am a recent graduate of the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Design, with a major of interior design. The design skills I’ve learned throughout the program have transcended beyond the field of interior design, leading me to a career in graphic design and branding.

This portfolio showcases my interior design coursework projects completed at the University of Florida. During my time in school, I always gravitated towards developing concepts that were experiential in nature and unique from my peers. All of my individually-completed projects include aspects of my personality and experiences.

Exterior of Restaurant

Inspired by the retro futurism of the 50’s and 60’s, The Flying Saucer offers a fun and lively atmosphere for dining, drinking, and dancing. It’s the perfect destination for sci-fi lovers and mid-century modern enthusiasts! Celebration Pointe is an up-and-coming shopping, dining, and living center in Gainesville, FL, and The Flying Saucer would make a great addition, drawing in both locals and tourists.

STEELCASE DESIGN & BRANDING COMPETITION - “NEXT”

ANTHROPOLOGY MEETS COSMETICS

The brand identity of my version of NEXT uses principles of anthropology to draw focus on biological equality and cultural diversity in cosmetics. Their tag-line is “celebrate the human body,” in recognition that all bodies are fundamentally designed the same way. NEXT looks to the past for developing the future by only using ingredients which can be procured naturally and ethically. Situated in New York City, one of the most culturally diverse places in the world, NEXT unites people by focusing on their similarities and shared evolutionary history.
