PERSONAL/PROFESSIONAL GOALS & MISSION STATEMENT

Personal Goals: One of my personal goals I have is to obtain an Internship outside of Dallas, to give me the chance to explore a new city. As well as becoming comfortable in the professional setting during my internship. I also hope to get a clearer idea about which specific sector of Interior Design I would be interested in going into after I graduate. An overall personal goal I have is to be happy in my career later and to create a good work-life balance.

Professional Goals: My professional goal is to be a leader in commercial design for restaurants and hotels. I would like to oversee the space planning portions, as well as furniture and material selection. I hope to be financially stable enough to where I can travel. I also hope to be recognized for my work and create a distinct style.

Personal Mission Statement: Through innovative design solutions, I aim to create environments that not only reflect the unique personalities of my clients but also enhance their overall well-being and daily experiences.

WHY DALLAS?

I am most interested in pursuing an internship in Dallas Texas because of many reasons. Mainly, it is my home town, so I will have the comfort of my home and my family nearby. I also want to be in Dallas because of the Design District in Dallas, I think I will have a lot of advantageous opportunities there. I am also familiar with the Dallas area, which will help on a day-to-day basis at work.

Though I am open to moving anywhere after I graduate, moving back to Dallas would also be good because as I mentioned, I will have my family nearby and I know the area, so having an internship in Dallas that could possibly lead me into a career after graduation would be a big advantage as well.

PROJECT DETAILS

YEAR | 2023

LOCATION | SOLVANG, CALIFORNIA

TIMELINE | 3 MONTHS SQUARE FEET | 10,000 SQ. FT.

SOFTWARE USED REVIT ENSCAPE PHOTOSHOP PROJECT STATEMENT

Nestled in Solvang, California, this two-story building complex seamlessly blends commerce, culture, and community. The ground floor hosts The Windmill, a Danish coffee shop embracing hygge, offering artisanal coffees and pastries. Next door, Nordic Bed & Bath invites guests to bring Solvang's heritage home with plush textiles and cozy essentials. The second floor features a modern co-working space, catering to diverse work styles with shared offices, collaborative workspaces, private offices, and a wellappointed kitchen break area

CONCEPT STATEMENT

Solvang Co-Complex, inspired by rich and inviting Danish culture, seamlessly blended traditional Dutch charm with the concept of "hygge" - a mood of coziness and contentment. The design incorporated clean lines, warm wooden tones, and a neutral color palette reminiscent of Dutch architecture. Intimate seating arrangements in the coffee shop and co-working spaces fostered gathering and conversation, complemented by natural materials like wool and leather for comfort. Popular Dutch lighting elements, such as candles and pendant lights, created a calming ambiance. The spaces featured fresh plants indoors and outdoors, subtle references to Dutch symbols, and embraced Solvang's eco-conscious values through sustainable practices like compostable packaging and bicycle racks for eco-friendly commuting.
