DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Thomas Watson says, “Design must reflect the practical and aesthetic in business, but above all... good design must primarily serve people.” My goal in design is to produce something beautiful, so consideration of psychology and function needs to take place. When designing, the process should be producing something unique to the client in personality and function, but also considering all types of people that will be using a space. Universal design is something that should be considered in any and all designs, and in every space interacted with. Design is beautiful when it can apply to anyone.

In my process as an interior designer and my focus on art, I consider the science and psychology of design and how it relates to the color and art included. Art and design are things considered to be great motivators and life-changers, and I want to help people change their lives. How an interior can affect someone subconsciously, whether it is something as simple as a paint color, is always in the back of my mind while making design decisions. Design creates a feeling. I want that feeling to always be positive. My motivation is that I want people to feel that my designs and art can make their lives better physically and emotionally.

Senior Thesis

The issue being solved is low-income and homeless communities not getting their basic needs met. This thesis will help solve this issue. With a combination of a market area and stores along with food and groceries, this place will provide the most resources for nearby neighborhoods. This results in a mix of low and middle-income people occupying the space. Careful consideration is being put into this for smooth transitions of parties. The location selected is an old Walmart building in Seattle, WA. The building is around 100,000 sq.ft. of space. The design to be created is inspired by organic geometric shapes and forms with wood and natural stone materials. Community is a huge aspect of this project, so the images above will be used as wallpapers, and spacial layouts of furniture will be used to connect users. Flowing lines and 3D shapes will be used for wayfinding and visual interest. Industrial elements, including metal, will be used.

FINAL BRANDING

For the Steelcase NEXT student competition project, a workplace with collaborative focus and spaces for individual focus was to be designed with the employees in mind for a clean Korean beauty brand. The design concept focused on Korean culture and the Obangsaek color palette in muted colors to promote creativity, interest, and productivity. Biophelia and sustainable selections were picked for a emphasis on clean beauty and living.

Cuppa Coffee Shop

In ID-355 Lighting Design Class, we were tasked with designing a retail service.

The renderings from this project were the first I made in Revit and I had a fun time getting used to the program while developing a personal style.

Art Deco inspired the furniture, fixtures, and equipment of this project in the moody colors, metallic accents, and geometric forms.

Residential Redesign

For the Residential Redesign Project, we were to remodel a home that had a minimum of three spaces to reconfigure. The final design of the home is to create a better resell value and functionality of space.

The design concept focused on modern lines, black metal with touches of green and warm elements seen in the leather chairs and main flooring.

Sustainability and LEED qualifications were the leading factors in selecting furniture and fixtures for the home.

Nami interiors was commissioned to create a container home for the Takahashi family after a tsunami occurred in Tōhoku, Japan. We will be designing a functional interior and exterior for the 5 family members with the required elements of a dining room fitting 5, a kitchen, a living room, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. We will also include space for a washer and dryer combination. The services to be included are Programming, Concept Development, Schematic Design, Design Development, and the selection of furniture, fixtures, and equipment.

Kravit Motif Design Adaptation

In the research done for the Motif Design Adaptation, the inspiration of Native American patterns and geometry sparked my interest. The main inspiration was a lamp made in CA. 1899. This lamp was inspired after Native American weaved baskets which was a major inspiration in my design. Starting off with schematics, the use of octagons was more prevalent in my sketches and the use of leaf detailing. As I went along I tried using different elements from each of the inspiration images I chose. In the final stages of the design, it made sense to put a circle in the middle for a more organic feel and a rounded shape to the geometric design I was working with. The final design gives off a geometric and modern feel, while pulling the inspiration of the Native American patterns.

Photography Skills

In Photography 1, I learned the basic techniques of the photo taking process and how to edit the images. The photos below are from my time in that class and while I took a lot more than this, these were my favorite in the end, but also in the making of them. Portrait photography became my favorite with product photography falling shortly behind. My Ceramics 1 Documentation on the left was so much fun to create and I appreciated that I could be creative and utilize two class projects in one!
