Hello
I am a Junior at the University of North Texas. My path hasn’t always been a straight one. From starting as a Biology major, then moving to Phycology and eventually landing on Interior Design. I had some bumps in the road. I feel very fortunate that I am finally pursuing something I absolutely love I’ve wanted to be a designer ever since I was a little boy. From rearranging my room every month, to designing houses on Minecraft, I knew this was something I always wanted to do. I would like to make an impact on the world of design, because to me, preserving the designs of those that came before us is the road map to the future. I can’t wait to pave my way!

KITCHEN DESIGN
KITCHEN DESIGN 10 weeks - Fall 2021 - Individual Project • In this project, we designed a kitchen for couple in their early 30s on the move from Dallas, Texas to Brooklyn, New York. They found a beautiful home right on the edge of a park in an urban part of town. They are looking to bring the natural world into their home using biophilic design while keeping Universal Design present. Charlie is partially deaf so that is particularly important to him. They have two dogs Cosmo and Wanda, so having access to this greenspace is needed.

The incorporation of natural stone accents extracted from the local area along with the pass through window make it a seemless transition from the outside in.

CONDO DESIGN
CONDO DESIGN 10 weeks - Fall 2021 - Individual Project To create a warm, engaging and luxurious space that implements soothing colors, rich historical motifs, and simple, easy to use design. Taking advantage of the architectural elements that already exist in the room ads a dramatic dimensionality to the character of the space.
CONDO DESIGN When consulting with the couple I learned that they had certain disabilities that needed to be accommodated in their new home. Asher has Asperger's so he needs a calm space that's not too over stimulating, while Sloane struggles with disorganization due to her ADHD.
COLOR THEORY & CONTRAST color theory is the science behind which colors go well together and the art of putting them together. As well as how they make you perceive the space around you
CALM
DESIGNATION
Using soft colors to create a calming space that you can be in for long periods of time
Using color to designate a space helps people with Asperger's and people who work from home with separating spaces.
CONTRAST
LIGHTING
using color to accentuate the duality of the old and new
Color theory does not always mean pigment. Lighting has a profound influence on how you perceive a space
SLOANE & ASHER Meet Sloane and Asher. Sloane is from Ireland and moved to Austin for graduate school. She met Asher at a PR event for the museum she worked for. He was a columnist doing a piece on the political pop art exhibit. When Sloane graduated and received a job a the Grand Rapids Public Museum, they had to jump at the opportunity. When consulting with the couple I learned that they had certain disabilities that needed to be accommodated in their new home. Asher has Asperger's so he needs a calm space that's not too over stimulating, while Sloane struggles with disorganization due to her ADHD.

Tapestry Shop 10 weeks - Fall 2021 - Group Project
To create a functional commercial and residential space that celebrates the traditional culture of the native Navajo tribe. An interactive, open, and inviting commercial space will have a persuasive curbside appeal to tourists. Large windows and incorporation of natural colors from the exterior landscape creates an indooroutdoor experience while inviting admiration to the handmade Navajo textiles. Strategic placement of facility rooms will allow private, yet sharable spaces between the commercial and residential. Keeping an open concept with heavy amounts of storage is key to allow maximum circulation.
