JULIA RATLIFF

L C O M E !

WEMy name is Julia Ratliff, and I am from Austin, Texas. I am currently an interior design student at Texas Tech University. From a young age, I have exhibited a passion toward assisting others and creating inviting spaces that cater to their needs. This inclination gradually evolved into a passion for design, both in my personal space and those of others, which led me to choose interior design as a career path.

My professional goal is to create environments that provide comfort, security and serenity for others. Over the course of my involvement in the Texas Tech Interior Design program, I have been privileged to encounter many enlightening experiences which opened my eyes to the many ways in which design can support both mental and physical health, as well as have learned to create both aesthetically pleasing yet environmentally-conscious spaces

Enclosed within this portfolio are select samples of my work, reflective of my journey

HILL HOUSE RESORT AND WINERY

PROJECT STATEMEMENT

The Hill House Resort and Winery, located in Dahlonega, Georgia, faces various challenges which may impact its overall success. Identifying and addressing the challenges is crucial for the sustainable growth and prosperity of the establishment. It is recommended that personnel work with a marketing team to engage followers of all social media platforms via both online and in-person marketing strategies. Modernizing accommodations, and winery equipment, and adding recreational offerings may also enhance the overall guest experience; this may involve renovations, technological upgrades, and the introduction of new activities to meet the evolving expectations of contemporary travelers. Other recommended enhancements include: Creating inviting spaces that provide vignettes for guests to relax, giving guests the opportunity to interact with the resort by providing winery tours, wine-tasting classes, and water activities, and giving guests easy access to amenities by providing golf carts for their personal use. The pricing strategy may need evaluation to ensure competitiveness within the market. Conducting a thorough analysis of pricing models, comparing the pricing structures of similar resorts and wineries in the region, could help optimize rates and attract a broader range of guests without compromising on profitability. Addressing these challenges requires a strategic and comprehensive approach involving marketing improvements, operational enhancements, and a commitment to providing an exceptional customer experience.

CONCEPT STATEMENT

The traditional town of Dahlonega, Georgia is rich in history and steeped in tradition. The goal of this design project is to incorporate the historical structures of the town with a homey, cottage-getaway feel. Combining traditional elements with modern technology, in order to create a perfect getaway feel, the intention is to give you a deeper dive into the wine country of Dahlonega. Known for its gold rush history and boasting a tapestry of historical structures that have witnessed the passage of time, the vision for the resort is to honor the local heritage by incorporating the time-honored architecture into the fabric of the resort. Our resort stands as a gateway to the heart of Georgia's wine country, and provides a unique opportunity for guests to immerse themselves in the nuances of winemaking and viticulture. Guests at the resort can indulge in an immersive experience, exploring not only the delightful wines produced in Dahlonega but also gaining insight into the art and science of winemaking.
