aboutme
I am currently in my fourth year of studies at Kansas State University’s Interior Architecture college. I have been able to expand my knowledge in design through interior architecture projects, furniture builds, and some product design. Before college, I found myself deciding between art school and what else could be out there. I always had an interest in realism painting, especially of environments and buildings. Because of this, I found myself looking into design and finding new ways to express my creativity. Throughout my education, I have been able to approach design from a different perspective with my experience with creating and appreciating artwork.

Concept: Interdependencies of the Grapevine
The Sonoma Valley is the birthplace of califorina winemaking. Vineyards run deep in it’s history and has created dpendencies and interdependencies with the grapevine in the Valley.
The grapevine relies on each member of the crop to prosper. When there are strong roots, the vine can survive many seasons when taken care of. The grapevine relies on its sturdiness that bring bountiful fruit.
This is translated into the design by assigning a concept to each member. When all of these members work together, it creates a visual whole. The interdependencies of every piece of the grapevine is what creates one strong crop.

Concept: Impression
The art of printmaking plays a huge role in making design decisions. Conceptually, the idea of impression relates back to printmaking and carving while also giving the space a charm. The design wishes to leave a good impression on the users.

retail space
The first thing users encounter when entering the retail side is an exciting, creative, and colorful display of art work. Unlike some gallery and art filled spaces, this design promotes much more organic use of forms, lighting, and color. The color-blocking is seen immediately to break up some of the different areas inside.
