INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO JADYN HOLT
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY I believe in designing for people above all else— before any color palette, before any furniture selection, before any material. Humans are the reason why we need design, and they should inspire us to become better designers. Understanding the unique users of a space can help to identify how to best adhere to their needs and desires, especially those who require inclusive and intentional design solutions. I believe that our surrounding environment carries great significance in how we feel and interact with others and is inherently tied to mental and physical well-being. For this reason, it is crucial that every space be designed with good intention for the unique purposes it will serve. All design should be conducted with respect to the environment and its resources, prioritizing design that passes the test of longevity in more ways than one. Successful design should not be determined not by how a space looks alone; it is a designer's job to serve the people by designing spaces that best serve them.

CARROUSEL CITY CLUB
This project required students to design a luxury city club for high-profile business professionals in a foreign country, renovating one floor of an existing building. The program includes a lobby/reception, bar/lounge, dining rooms, apartments, and suites. The carousel was popularized in Paris, France during the 1920s and is used as the prominent motif in Carrousel City Club, as well as French Art Deco.

PORTLAND MUSEUM OF ART
Students were asked to develop a two-story commercial community building focused on cultural demographics. The Portland Museum of Art houses art galleries, community studios, staff offices, and a coffee shop. The museum features bold designs with classical touches meant to inspire people of all backgrounds. This project embraces combining classic and modern ideas.

SOLACE
The 2023 IDEC Student Design Competition prompted participants to design a mental health respite for students on their college campus. Caroline Goodson, Carly Brannon, and I worked together to configure a space that accounts for the university’s demographics. We established a universal design that reflects the faith-basis of our university and allows students to find different types of solace.

SOLACE STRESS RELIEVERS AS DESIGN DRIVERS
ART
Engaging in creative activities such as art can help decrease feelings of stress, anxiety, and shame, even in students who don’t consider themselves creative.
MUSIC
Listening to music or playing an instrument can make new neuropathways in the brain, increasing our connectivity.
REST
The resting brain state is what allows us to be the most creative and generate ideas; naps can help promote alertness, mood, creativity, and productivity.
noun. comfort or consolation in a time of distress or sadness. We believe that design as a means of stress reduction can promote healing and respite. Solace exists as a space for young adults to recognize beauty in a world of hostility, stillness in a world of chaos, purpose in a world of questions, strength in the midst of weakness.

THE OLD FASHIONED
The 2022 IIDA Student Design Competition allowed students to design an assisted living facility, placing emphasis on the need to design for both residents and staff, and actively working towards destigmatizing the AL typology. My design partner Carolina Brannon and I decided to design the facility in hopes of creating a nostalgic experience for the residents that made them feel comfortable and cared for.

STUDENT APARTMENT
Four college graduates commissioned a modern renovation of their apartment located in Seattle, Washington. The renovation includes two bedrooms, two baths, a kitchen, and living room. The intent of this design was to create a lively space that enhances productivity and encourages a positive state of mind. This design utilized neutral tones and biophilic accents.
