HELLO THERE! My name is Isabella Fitman and I am a junior at Endicott College. I am working towards my bachelor of fine arts concentrating in interior design. I was born and raised in Massachusetts and chose Endicott College for its interior design program, as well as the amazing internship oppurtunities offered each year. I look forward to pursuing an internship in Boston, MA for my senior year and aspire to work in the Boston area after graduation. I am grateful to have worked with two design firms since coming to school, touching on residential design and healthcare design. I am a detail oriented designer, always looking for ways to bring a clients space to suit their functional needs. I am creative and a problem solver, stopping at nothing to find the right answer, even if that means I need to do extra research. I am a team player and am inspired by those around me. This portfolio exhibits my focus in this field, demonstrating a variety of design projects, hand rendering and computer rendering skills, schematic and concept development and showcases work exhibited on campus as well.

MANTRA
BUBBLE DIAGRAM: ANNOTATED the big picture for this space was to design for “retailtainment”. Our idea was centered around a yoga studio for children as well as an acai bar. Users could either use the space as they wait for children to take class, to just use the acai side or just the yoga side. Either way, the customers had a few options when it came to using our space, with the promotion healthy lifestyle at the heart of the design.

MANTRA is an acai bowl bar and yoga studio that is primarily aimed towards children’s yoga to help provide an outlet through exercise and application of the body, to ignite self-confidence, respect, inner peace and healthy liftestyle habits in children and adults. Linda and Karen Hill started Mantra after teaching yoga to adults for years and realizing the benefits it has on children to help prevent mental illness or use as a coping mechanism, while keeping them active and healthy physically as well.
