THE NEXT PROJECT
NEXT, the student design competition organized by Steelcase, that selects a different business type each year featuring floor plans from real businesses. The current edition focuses on a technology and robotics company, My design concept is named "Aura." Drawing inspiration from the definition of the word Aura as "the distinct atmosphere or quality that seems to surround and be generated by a person, place, or thing," the concept aims to create a distinctive and inviting ambiance within a commercial space. Employing warm colors and a motivational mindset, Aura incorporates organic shapes that enhances the serenity of the environment, while vibrant colors are strategically utilized to instill energy and motivation in the workspace. The design concept prioritizes a welcoming and productive atmosphere for the dynamic needs of a technology and robotics company.
As I pursued Aura as my design concept I began to develop my principle and elements of design. To reinforce the concept of Aura, creative research led to the principles of movement, pattern, and repetition. Elements incorporated emphasize color, line, and shape.

PEDIATRIC CLINIC
Designing a healthcare pediatric floor plan involves careful consideration of the unique needs of children, and the functionality and efficiency of the medical staff. The reception area is welcoming and the child-friendly design eases anxiety. The play areas and interactive displays distract and entertain children, while providing comfortable seating for parents and guardians. The exam rooms include colorful and engaging decor to create a child-friendly atmosphere. Overall, a successful pediatric healthcare floor plan prioritizes the well-being and comfort of young patients, and the efficient operation of the medical staff. It should create a supportive and healing environment that addresses the specific needs of children and their families.
Warm, charming, and home away from home....One would never guess that these words would describe a healthcare space, but at Cottage Care this is exactly what you will find. The storybook feel of the artwork and surrounding brings you into a new world. Emphasis and scale provides the patient positive distractions by making them feel warmed and welcomed rather than intimidated and cold. The walls will be painted with art featuring wildflowers, allowing children to wander through a field of blossoms while walking to their appointments. Cottages evoke feelings of safety, belonging, and homeliness. In this project, I incorporated elements of the cottage aesthetic through soft, natural textures, curved corners, and wooden accents. The main goal of Cottage Care was to create a pediatric clinic where all feel welcomed and unafraid.
Each exam room has different nature themes to provide positive distractions, the feeling of being outdoors and overall create an enjoyable environment for both the patient and the guardian. There is seating for a doctor, guardian and two visitors in each exam room. The lighting around the tree can be customized by patient request. The space ensures a positive experience at Cottage Care.

HOTEL CHARRETTE
The Marion Boutique Hotel was meticulously crafted with the intention of establishing a space infused with feminine inspiration and artisanal eclecticism. Guided by design principles such as pattern, line, and balance, the hotel's aesthetic embodies a harmonious blend of creativity and structure. The color palette, carefully selected to evoke an eclectic ambiance, draws inspiration from the artistic legacy of Marion Mahony Griffin. This tribute is further manifested through the thoughtful integration of female representation throughout the hotel, showcasing an array of female art, feminine textiles, and boosting female ownership. The overall design aims to create a unique and empowering environment that celebrates the essence of femininity within the realm of hospitality.
The Art Studio was designed to give Chicago locals and students a space to rent that inspires and encourage creativity. This space can also be available for art courses. The room is filled with resources such as easels, drafting desks, working tables and plenty of storage. The Marion art studio hopes to encourage everyone, but specifically young females, to push their artistic minds while experiencing a like-minded community of fellow creatives.
BRANDING PROJECT
Junior Year, I was a part of a collaborative branding project involving senior level Graphic Designers, junior level Interior Architects, and senior Integrated Marketing Communication majors. My role on this team was Project Coordinator. I learned a lot about leading and project management. Our mission: to redefine the identity of Searcy, Arkansas, and establish a fresh narrative through a new Welcome Center. Tasked with rebranding our college town, our focus extended beyond graphics to encompass the revitalization of existing mid-century modern buildings. The interior design, curated by junior interiors, pays homage to the authentic mid-century modern aesthetic, enhancing the town's heritage with a contemporary touch. Together, our interdisciplinary team shaped a narrative that harmonizes the town's legacy with modern sensibilities. This project was presented to the Searcy Mayor, Matt Faulkner, along with other staff from the town council. Between our design and one other submission, our design won Peoples Vote.

CONCEPT
The residence is conceived as a haven of tranquility, meticulously designed to foster holistic wellness encompassing physical, spiritual, and mental health. The carefully selected color palette plays a pivotal role in promoting a sense of well-being throughout the space. Inspired by the temple concept, the design is centered around instilling peace of mind and establishing the dwelling as a sanctuary for its inhabitants. The project seamlessly integrates principles of Universal Design, Wellness, and Trauma-Focused Design. It synergistically contributes to the creation of a space that not only embodies tranquility but also addresses the diverse needs of its occupants on multiple levels.

CULTURAL PAVILION
This project was completed second semester of sophomore year. It took place in Harding University's History of Architecture class. The assignment was to create a sculpture or pavilion that reflected a non-western culture. I chose the culture of Nepal and focused on the country's colors and textures.
BANK OF AMERICA
This project was a charrette completed first semester of my Junior year. The assignment was to remodel a Bank of America that would focus on bringing college students in, as well as, giving them a place to feel comfortable speaking about sensitive topics like finances. While this was a team effort, I crafted the renderings seen here.
