About Me My name is Olivia Richardson. I am a student at Kansas State University majoring in Interior Design with a minor in Business. When I’m not working on design I am working as a waitress at a local restaurant, catching up with friends, or visiting my family.

My hobbies include making jewelry, playing tennis, and taking long walks.

I’ve always wanted to be a designer; I always tell the story of when I was little I wouldn’t play with my dolls, but rearrange and design their dollhouses.

One day my grandmother noticed and said I should become an interior designer and the rest is history.

spensary Design Year: 4 Project Type: Individual Software Used: Revit, Enscape, Photoshop, InDesign We were tasked to design a space that correlated with a research essay we wrote alongside our studio class. My essay was over dispensary design and how to design these spaces for today. I designed a dispensary and consumption lounge located in Atlantic City, New Jersey. There were a few key things I focused on which were the retail floor which also included consultation rooms, a speak easy style consumption lounge, and the back of house which included a large fulfillment room.

I wanted my dispensary to feel inviting and not intimidating to new consumers and be able to keep regular consumers coming back. This pushed my skills immensely whether it was through Revit, my design process/thoughts, and my presentation abilities.

on: NEXT Year: 3 Project Type: Individual Software Used: Revit, Enscape, AutoCad, Photoshop, InDesign We were tasked to create a research and development hub for an up and coming home robotics company. The space had to feature many areas such as a place for workstations, team collaboration, an inclusive design lab, work cafe, and more. It was 12,000 sq ft of space and we had eight weeks to come up with the entire design for this space. My concept was revolution which focuses on change, innovation, and connection.

I wanted the space to feel inviting as well as adaptable to all of the new and changing projects that are used by the employees. I really got to push myself in my Revit skills to create my mushroom columns that define several of the spaces. As well as, really working on my space planning skills and getting the most out of this large space.

Year: 2 Project Type: Individual Software Used: Revit, AutoCad, Photoshop, InDesign The final project of my second year was to create a pediatric clinic. The space needed to include three ADA restrooms, four exam rooms that could be entered from two seperate entries, and make sure the space was accessible to all. The hardest challenge I faced in this project was incorporating the two entries into the exam rooms since the space was fully enclosed with windows. I found that this project grew my space planning skills immensely and was the first project I got to use my newly learned Revit skills.

Hotel and Restaurant Year: 3 Project Type: Group of 4 Software Used: Revit, AutoCad, Enscape, Photoshop, InDesign Mondo was my first larger scale group project. I worked in a team with three other designers to collaborate and create a restaurant and boutique hotel that would be in downtown Manhattan, KS. We used our skills to create a space that had a romantic and elegant feel that spoke to the various speak easys that can be found around town. The space also represented a melting pot of cultures seeing as Kansas is the melting pot of the U.S.. This project was a great look into working with others, learning how to let others express their opinions, and tackle obstacles as a team.

I worked to create our second floor lobby, it is meant to be the bridge between th the rest of the hotel and restaurant. I enjoyed bringing up the modular furniture f floor lobby and having another seating space for conversation.

ments Year: 3 Project Type: Group of 4 Software Used: Revit For our sixth semester we were tasked with creating a complete construction document set for one of our peers’s NEXT project. We worked in a group to complete this. I pused my skills in Revit and my knowledge of codes, detailing, and more. This project greatly prepared me for my internship. I learned a lot about how the technical aspects of the interior design field works and am greatful for this studio in growing my knowledge.
