PORT FOLIO
My name is Kylie Rincon and I am a 4th year Architectural and Interior Design Major (B.F.A) pursuing a Business minor at the University of Georgia.
My desire to pursue a career in creating commercial and residential spaces from an early age was the culmination of a passion for art and an interest in how the built environment can have a profound effect on one’s senses. At UGA, I have gained a deep understanding of sustainability, connectivity, and balance in architecture and design.
My designs are modern and organic and gravitate towards a neutral palette, layering texture and color to add visual interest.
Additionally, my involvement in Greek Life, volunteering, the service industry and NCAA Division I soccer has attributed to my strongest qualities: attention to detail, discipline, problem solving, personability, and my ability to build and maintain relationships.

Creating a space for designers of was a daunting but exciting task. For my concept, I was inspired by offices with a heavy use of organic materials and natural light with occasional pops of color. I believe these elements together have the ability to energize employees and excite people to come to work. or the Steelcase NEXT 2023 ate organic forms and colors focusing on keeping the t calming and balanced.
This project was the first to demonstrate my ability to design a combined residential and commercial space. The First Level contains a public art gallery, handicap accessible bathroom, office space, meeting room, elevator, and maintenance closet.
