EDUCATION Undergraduate Degree Interior Architecture and Design Major CIDA- Accredited Focus in Design Thinking Colorado State University September 2021- Present

Hello! I'm Victoria Romero, a passionate designer and creative thinker with a heart for art, music, and dance.

These creative outlets have shaped my perspective and inspire the imaginative approach I bring to every project. Art and music fuel my creativity, and dance has taught me the beauty of movement and balance —qualities I carry into my design work.

Currently, I'm a senior at Colorado State University, majoring in Interior Architecture and Design, with a focus on design thinking. My journey through interior design has been deeply rewarding, combining technical skills with the opportunity to enhance mental and physical well-being through thoughtful spaces. I’ve had the privilege to work on meaningful projects like designing a cancer rehabilitation center, where I aim to create environments that offer comfort, inspiration, and healing.

SENIOR CAPSTONE PROJECT 2024

RESTAURANT This Mediterranean restaurant fully embraces the concept of erosion, bringing the outside in through its design. Natural materials, organic shapes, and a ceiling that mimics the fluidity of erosion work together to create a harmonious, immersive environment. The space captures the essence of nature’s transformative beauty, offering a serene and tactile dining experience.

CONCEPT

Drawing inspiration from the natural process of rock erosion, the concept for the cancer rehabilitation center embraces the idea of "Eroded Serenity." Like the gradual shaping of rock formations by the forces of nature, the design aims to create spaces that evoke a sense of calm and tranquility amidst the challenges of cancer treatment and recovery. Organic, sculptural elements reminiscent of eroded rock formations are integrated into the architecture and interior design, offering a metaphorical representation of resilience and strength. The use of earthy tones, textured surfaces, and gentle curves further enhances the feeling of serenity and grounding. Through this concept, the rehabilitation center becomes a space of quiet reflection and renewal, where patients can find comfort and inner peace on their journey towards healing.

CONCEPT For this lifelong home, I chose a biophilic design concept, which aims to strengthen the occupant’s connection to the natural environment through direct and indirect nature, as well as spatial and place-based elements. Biophilic design offers numerous benefits to well-being, making it ideal for a home environment. The goal is to seamlessly integrate outdoor elements into the interior, creating a natural flow that still preserves the comforting, personal feel of a home.
