DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

As an interior and preservation designer, I view interior design as a synthesis of personal experiences, that the power contained in spaces originates from the individual viewpoints of each user. I consider a creative storyteller who goes above the typical duties of a designer, bringing surroundings to life with storytelling. My goal is to create environments that prioritize the varied needs and preferences of my effectively combining usefulness with universal design principles. This goes beyond simple aesthetics.

My method is based on the fundamental idea that interior design is a tool for expressing human wants designers and its occupants find deeply meaningful. I want to create spaces that inspire a sense of peace longing by taking inspiration from the flow of nature, the timeless elegance of classical designs, and contemporary inventions. Every room I create is more than just a physical area; it’s a haven, a sanctuary ple may find inspiration and comfort within beauty and creativity that goes beyond trends.

I approach every job with a firm commitment to perfection, driven by my limitless creativity and careful detail, as I view it as a chance to truly surpass expectations. My goal is to create environments that and honesty while crafting enduring stories that improve people’s lives.

experiences, understanding consider myself to be with captivating my clients while aesthetics. wants that both the peace and beand the boldness of sanctuary where peocareful attention to radiate creativity

THE PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART

During this project we were just starting to learn about the different tsoftwares used to design digitally. We were challanged to create an exhibit space using sketchUp and Enscape. The concept was completely up to us as well as the Building Floorplan and Site. After Brainstorming, research and concept application, I created a new Philadelphia Museum of art to bring to the city of Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA

Nicknamed the “City of Brotherly Love,” Philadelphia is a dynamic city rich in history and culture. Originally the site of American independence, it boasts famous sites including Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and a great body of colonial-era architecture. Philadelphia features world-class museums, varied neighborhoods, and a vibrant cultural and culinary scene by fusing its historic roots with a dynamic modern identity. Its own individuality is shown in its famous cheesesteaks, murals, and energetic sports culture. The city deftly links its rich past with an always changing future with its pedestrian streets, picturesque riverfronts, and eminent buildings like the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

CONCEPT MEMORY

The new Philadelphia Art Museum design draws inspiration from the city’s rich history, including its unique connection to elephants, which symbolize strength, wisdom, and memory. In the 19th century, elephants played a notable role in Philadelphia’s cultural life, appearing in early exhibitions and circuses that captivated audiences and introduced exotic grandeur to the city. These majestic animals represent the preservation of history and cultural storytelling, qualities that align seamlessly with the museum’s mission to honor and celebrate art and heritage.

Arches, a hallmark of Philadelphia’s architectural identity, are central to the museum’s design, creating pathways that evoke a sense of openness and connection. These structural elements, paired with elephant-inspired textures and motifs, form a space that bridges past and present, merging the city’s historical legacy with a vision for the future. Together, these influences craft a museum that embodies resilience, character, and cultural unity, inviting the community to explore and connect through art and history.

04. SIA | PROGRESSION

For this project we were tasked to create a 3D model based off a song of choice. The feeling, meaning and overall genre is what inspired me to chose SIA as an artist. Her progression in life and in her albums connected to my concept of progressivley going through the ups and downs of life. I used a variety of materials and the resources my school has to offer such as laser cutters, to make this project come to life. Later on this project and myself was one of very few chosen to reprsent the CIDA accredidation evaluations.

CONCEPT A JOURNEY THROUGH EMOTIONS

This musical folly embodies the essence of Sia, an artist whose work radiates empowerment and resilience, connecting deeply with her audience through her transformative message. By integrating her music and artistic vision, the space becomes an immersive journey that guides users through a profound emotional narrative, offering a safe haven to reflect, heal, and be inspired. The design invites users to disconnect from the chaos of everyday life and embark on a path of self-discovery, highlighting the universal themes of struggle, recovery, and triumph found in Sia’s artistry.

The experience unfolds in three distinct phases, each representing a unique emotional state. It begins with the sensation of being broken, symbolized through fragmented designs and dissonant sounds that evoke feelings of vulnerability and despair. As users progress, they are guided toward a sense of wholeness and self-acceptance, represented by harmonious visuals and uplifting music. The journey culminates in a space of euphoria and empowerment, with expansive views and vibrant light, mirroring the feeling of being “on top of the world.” This transformative experience allows users to return to their lives holding onto the joy, strength, and peace they have discovered, carrying Sia’s message of hope and self-empowerment into their future.

ATHLETIC RECOVER AND EXCELLENCE CENTER

For my senior capstone project, I designed an Athletic Wellness and Recovery Center focused on supporting the mental and physical health of student-athletes. Addressing the unique pressures they face, the facility integrates stateof-the-art mental health resources alongside advanced physical recovery and performance tools. With the freedom to choose a topic, I aimed to create a space that promotes resilience, peak performance, and overall well-being, offering innovative solutions to empower athletes both on and off the field.

MISSION

HOW can the design of collegiate athletic facilities be optimized to better support and enhance the mental health of student athletes?

Nearly of the 50 NAIA institution leaders stated they do not have sports psychologists or therapists in their athletic facilities. Stated their institutions’ Overall resources connected to mental health are just “AVERAGE.”

Creating An Innovative Space for Training and Recovery

By emphasizing spaces that promote balance, concentration, and well-being, collegiate athletic facilities can be designed to holistically support and improve student-athletes’ mental health. The strategy places a strong emphasis on careful spatial zoning, providing separate spaces for intense exercise, mindful recovery, and community interaction in recognition of the extreme physical and mental demands athletes undergo. To encourage rest, concentration, and a feeling of community, calming sensory areas, pathways with directed lighting, and welcoming gathering places will all be incorporated. The goal is to build a facility that fosters mental health, resilience, clarity, and a positive team environment while enabling athletes to perform at their best.

CONCEPT

Tunnel Vision

Concept Statment and Imagery

“Tunnel vision transforms the stress of competition into a laser-focused path toward excellence, where every heartbeat echoes purpose and every stride gets a step closer to greatness.”

This athletic training facility embodies the concept of “tunnel vision,” guiding collegiate athletes through a journey of mental regrowth, balance, and focus. Designed with distinct zones that enhance both mental toughness and physical ability, the facility offers spaces for preparation, focused training, and teamwork development. Each zone represents a stage in the athlete’s path, providing moments for reflection and decompression to support mental health. The design symbolizes the journey toward personal achievement, helping athletes grow into confident, adaptable champions ready to excel in all aspects of life. Following the light at the end of the tunnel.
