INTERNSHIP PROJECTS HNI Workplace Furnishings

Virtual Education Showroom
During my internship at HNI, myself and two other interns were tasked with completely re-designing their K-12 Virtual Showroom for their website. This showroom highlights their educational furniture and products. The company wanted a fresh and new perspective on this space. Because of this, my team and I focused on mental health and neurodiversity of young students today. We kept these things in mind when designing, making sure to focus on color theory, wayfinding/ circulation and trauma-informed design. The following images are screenshots from a Yulio link. I am not able to share the link yet, but I’ve provided additional links on the next two pages that give more insight into the project.

Live Customer Projects
PROPOSED FLOOR PLAN Customer projects are the main type of projects the design team at HNI works on. Along with the virtual showroom project, I also completed a handful of customer projects. Furniture dealers would send their requests to the design team, specifying floor plans, furniture and finishes they wanted. Designers compile the drawings into one PDF to send back to the dealer to close out the project. This is the proposed layout based on the specifications outlined. These projects helped improve my time managment and communication skills. They have a quick turnaround and it is common to contact the dealer about inconsistencies that may occur.

Prospering With Pets
Our site was the AMA Plaza Building in the River North neighborhood of Chicago. Our goal was to create an assisted living facility that improves the mental health and well being of residents while supporting their pets. The concept of the assisted living facility will be healing, inviting, and bright. Continuity of layouts and, linking spaces together with biophilia, and a spatial layout along a grid pattern will accomplish this. The design will support pets and residents in order to improve overall mental health and wellbeing.
