Shannon Funk Portfolio

hello...

My name is Shannon Funk, I am a third year at the University of Kansas studying Interior Architecture. Ever since I was a young girl I was always wanting to express my creativity. While studying at they University of Kansas I have practiced research within each project as well as using my own design aesthetic to make each space something to remember. My goal is to continue to use my design skills to elevate users experiences in the spaces they enjoy.

nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men.

haven on the hill

In order to make residents feel like somewhere is truly home, they need a space that gives them community, comfort, and peace. This is something these women need so badly in these tragic times. Our home will provide a safe and comfortable refuge in order to help women and children of domestic violence heal.

MODEL PHOTOS

furniture design

Taking a furniture class really gave me perspective on what kind of furniture goes into each space. I made two different furniture pieces and every thing I did was hand made and calculated.

watercolor renderings

These exercises were to help grow our rendering skills that can be further used in projects. These skills include sketching and rendering furniture, casework, lighting options, doors, tables, textures, etc. We used these skills in some of our process to further communicate what we wanted the space to look like
