ABOUT

Hello! My name is Jillian Young, and I am a fourth-year interior design student at the University of Oklahoma, graduating in May 2024. I have enjoyed the challenge of design work and hope to put forth my skills to benefit all people.

I fell in love with the interior design field for its necessity and universal applications. Because people inherently desire safety, security, and shelter, I see design as a necessary step towards achieving human belonging. Though design is a large concept, its significance is also tailored individually. Design is human personality formed into a material and emotional experience that conveys certain personal, cultural, and societal traits. The design of an interior speaks volumes of what is considered valuable, beautiful, and functional. As a result, I believe interior design promotes open-mindedness and a global perspective.

I especially love the combination logic and creativity in the field of design. Because critical thinking and problem solving are some of my strengths, I find my design strengths in analyzing and applying user functionality, space planning, technical drawings, and code requirements. Devising creative ways to establish meaning throughout interiors allows me to consistently design for the good of others.

NEXT Development Hub Year: Spring 2023 Location: Boston, Massachusetts Scope: Reception, Private Offices, Work Stations, Phone Rooms, Work Cafe, Dedicated Team Spaces, Large Meeting Room, Retail Mock-up, Product Storage, Project Rooms, Inclusive Design Lab, Home Office Lab, Mother’s Room, Wellness Room, Resource Center

This corporate office is located in Boston, MA by the nearby seaport with the intent of incorporating the colors and lights of city evenings into the interior.

This office serves to enhance technology in the workplace, increase productivity, and promote collaboration, hybrid working, and wellness. Open workstations, transparent design solutions, and mutli-functional spaces help create a collaborative and exciting environment.

The design of this office is based on the colors of the sunset such as navy, orange, copper, and pink to create a moody yet vibrant environment.

Concept: Evenings in Boston “Evenings in Boston” describes the experiences of the Boston Seaport where city lights reflect off of the ocean creating sparkling reflections. Sunset colors of dark blue, orange, pink, and copper tones reflect off the ocean as the sun sets and the city glows. The sound of water and waves echoes with the noise of nightlife and activity.

The NEXT Development Hub takes inspiration from the colors, texture, and lighting of the Boston Seaport to create an immersive experience. This collaborative environment draws on both the dark/moody and light/playful aspect of the city to encourage productivity, human interaction, and individual comfort.

Workstations The open workstations allow employees to pick their workstation for the day to suit the day’s work. Tile carpet provides a softer surface for standing at the sit-to-stand desks.

Privacy panels help with visual privacy and acoustics. The interesting ceiling element adds vibrancy and energy to the space.

Meeting Room

Private Offices

The meeting room is simple and clean for client presentations and team meetings.

The double TV’s create multiple viewing points, and the clerestory windows open up the meeting room to interact with the other spaces.

Private offices include personalized desk modules, TV screens for video meeting/conferencing, and individual seating for in-person meetings. The glass screen technology allows any screen in the office to be obscured to enhance privacy.

10

Team Spaces

Retail Display

Team spaces act as nodes where different sectors of the office collaborate. The open area defined by changes in flooring and ceiling design creates a nook for people to exchange ideas, conduct presentations, or have a change of environment from their workstations.

A moody display switches up the bright office atmosphere to showcase tech products. Integrated lighting spotlights each product and the display becomes a sculptural highlight of the office for employees and visitors to walk through.

Orangeblossom Hotel Year: Fall 2022 Location: Tripoli, Lebanon Scope: Lobby, Restaurant, Indoor Retail Market, Spa, Adeline Suite, Kitana Suite, and Ayman Suite

“Orangeblossom’s” intent includes incorporating local biophilic design elements to create a renewing and culturally immersive experience, both for locals and tourists.

“Orangeblossom” serves to attract its local and international guests to expreience the authentic Tripoli culture, cuisine, and crafts by synthesizing Mediterranean, Arabic, and Islamic architectural influences. The hotel’s design is based on material connections with the native surroundings and creating layers of “mystery” for users to discover.

12

Concept: Reveal

The act of revealing means making something known or creating a moment of revelation.

To showcase Tripoli’s historical and cultural heritage, local cuisine, colors, and natural materials reveal Tripoli’s beauty and local surroundings. The design embodies elements of light, patterns, texture, emphasis, and symmetry. Perforated materials reveal what is ahead with light and shadow and create visual emphasis. Emphasis created with interesting patterns and centralized features marks the moment of revelation and supports feelings of awe and wonder. Symmetry found in the lobby and restaurant floor plan reveal paths for users to experience.

Reflected Ceiling Plan

The back lobby functions as a secluded enclave for guests to rest or linger. The relief pattern on the wall and the gold screens allude to the Islamic influence to create an immersive cultural experience. This space is inviting with the abundant natural daylight and smaller niches for small groups to convene.

16

Restaurant/Bar

Reflected Ceiling Plan

The large, central bar serves as an elegant focal point for evening dining. Hexagonal acoustic clouds add geometric patterns to the ceiling design, and the slim pendants mimic twinkling stars for gentle ambiance.

17

Adeline Luxury Suite

The Adeline exudes luxury with its spacious bedroom and connected bathroom to elongate the space and take advantage of the natural views. A canopy over the bed with delicate pendants creates a magical place of rest and increased privacy. Large louvers can open or close to the living room to connect or separate the spaces.

Kitana Deluxe Suite

The Kitana offers a spa-like bathroom with natural elements such as the pebbles, plants, and wooden slats for a rejuvenating experience. The fiber optic star lights in the shower provide a soft ambiance and glow especially in the nighttime. The seamless design offers clean lines throughout the space to promote a simplistic elegance.

National African American Jazz Museum Year: Spring 2022 Location: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Scope: Portion of Group Project- Performance space, Pre-function, Public Restroom, Control Booth, Live Studio PRE-FUNCTION

This multipurpose museum breathes new life into a renovated church building. The jazz museum’s purpose is to welcome the general public, nearby schools, and jazz artists/performers to display, educate, and preserve stories from the “bellies of slaveships “ where jazz originated from. This overall design serves to create a strong community in the Deep Deuce district where jazz can be shared and appreciated for generations.

The pre-function utilizes an open and flexible space to accompany the variety of events hosted in the adjacent performance space. The added engaged columns (detailed in section) create rhythm through the space which creates small niches for resting or conversation and assists in visual wayfinding. The ceiling material made of natural materials is backlit to softly illuminate the space and set the tone for entering the performance space.

Wood tones and dark blue accents are symbolic of the wooden slaveships that brought jazz music over the ocean and to America.

Living Room

The bedroom is tucked into the northeast corner of the apartment for privacy and easy access to the front entrance. The orange accent wall acts as a focal point for users to personalize and feel connected with the space. Drawing on a warm color scheme with wood tones promotes comfort, and mimicking natural elements creates familiarity for for all ages and abilities.

The purpose of the glass door and clerestory window is to provide observation views and extra lighting from the adjacent hallway. A similar orange accent wall emphasizes the entry point and a place to put belongings. Soft furnishings and an ottoman in lieu of a coffee table prevent hazards.
