Interior Design
I’m an Interior Design Student at Kansas State University with a passion for improving humanity through design. I consider myself fascinated with the psychological effects of design and how much interiors play apart in overall well-being. I strive to support the mental, emotional, and physical health of the people within the interiors I design.
In my projects, I find reward in the process of seeking to meet unfulfilled needs with curiosity, creativity, and empathy while not being afraid to take risks or try something new.
Here’s some of my work.

The design intent for the Boston Next office is inspired by the unique geological and topographical elements that make up The Boston Harbor. The city, the ocean, and the islands all exhibit unique features that relate to the way Next functions. The city resembles community and collaboration, the ocean resembles nourishment and well-being, and the islands resemble retreat and rejuvenation.

Work Cafe
The Bridge is a boutique hotel and restaurant located in downtown Manhattan, KS. With Manhattan being a diverse college town, the floorplan, material selections, and menu were designed to connect people to each other, different cultures, and nature. Inspiration for the materials were drawn from original wooden bridges found in Kansas. This project was completed as a team with Ben Hall, Regan Wright, and Jadyn Wolf.

Revive Pediatrics is a pediatric clinic in Topeka, KS. The goal of this space was to make going to the doctor a fun, stimulating experinece for children. The main design consideration for this project was that the clinic wanted completely seperate access to exam rooms between patients and medical staff to avoid congestion. Post-Covid, avoiding the spread of germs was also a major consideration which led to the use of a touchless interactive play screen in each waiting room.
