MADELINE SMITH DESIGNS

Hi there, I am an interior design student with a passion for creating beautiful and functional spaces that enhance people’s lives. I believe that the built environment has a significant impact on our well-being, and as an interior designer, I aim to create spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also promote comfort, functionality, and sustainability.
As a student, I have worked on various projects, ranging from residential to commercial spaces, and have developed an eye for detail, color, and material selection. I am also proficient in computer-aided design (CAD) and 3D modeling software, allowing me to create realistic visualizations of my designs.
Nestled amidst picturesque mountains and verdant scenery lies The Emerald, a wedding chapel exuding serene beauty. The chapel’s design draws inspiration from the symbolism of the wedding ring, which represents love, commitment, bond, unbreakable strength, and eternity. The chapel’s neutral religious stance adds to its allure. Its interiors and exteriors perfectly embody these qualities, making it a perfect place for couples to exchange vows.
Universal design aims to create accessible environments for everyone. Inclusive design has been shown to enhance well-being and efficiency. The inclusive Carrel desk was created using research on disability accessibility and feedback from Texas State students. The desk is ADA compliant and can accommodate two users with its collapsible wall, using only two materials.

This home combines tradition with modern amenities to provide accessibility for all generations.
