TAYLOR hiemer

Ab out Me I’m a recent graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where I earned my Bachelor’s of Science in Design majoring in Interior Design and minoring in Art and Art Histor y. I have a keen interest in branding and graphics as well. ​ I was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska where I discovered and began to pursue my passion for design. When I’m not working on something ne w and exciting I enjoy traveling, playing with my dogs and kitten, spending time with family and friends, or watching cheesy movies.

MASTER BATHROOM

Fall 2014 The challenge was to remodel a mid-century home for a family of four in order to resolve the issues of functionality, flow, and aesthetics of the dated house.

This high-end remodel modernizes the mid-century style through simple forms, clean horizontal lines, natural materials, and geometric patterning.

FURNITURE SELECTIONS

The original design included small enclosed spaces with a low ceiling height, which is characteristic of the mid-century style. By opening up the floor plate and creating an ease of transition between areas, the client can now enjoy an expanded and diverse dwelling space. Separating the living quarters as well as the professionally fronted studio from the main dwelling space allows for comfortable levels of privacy. High end furnishings and luxurious finishes further elevate the quality of the home.

H O S PITALITY Fall 2015 This was a multi-part project that began with physically deconstructing a classic fairy tale, then personally writing a new story inspired by the themes of the original tale. “Waggle Dance� is an original story about magical bees and the transformation of self.

This whimsical hotel lobby and lounge is inspired by the individual path and experience of the bee throughout the tale.

The following are artistic and theoretical representations of the space.

Level 2 is inspired by the roots of a tree, or the roots of this company within Omaha, Nebraska. Like tree roots, Nebraska is rich with history and tradition. The goal is to represent the city of Omaha in the best possible light by showcasing the typical farming landscape in beautiful ways as well as documenting the vibrant, dynamic, and forward thinking culture of the city.

Level 3 is inspired by the canopy of the tree by symbolizing travel and exploration.

Traveling is encouraged to boost employee satisfaction and wellbeing. Growing strong and branching out to new places, similar to the growth of a tree, helps to inspire innovative thinking. The goal is to create a fun, relaxing, and inspiring place to unwind.

ADMIN KINDERGARTEN

Fall 2015 This progressive and modern elementary school, located in Omaha, Nebraska, is inspired by the brain’s hemispheres. Just like the human brain, the new Rockbrook renovation combines the left side of logic and rationale with the right side of creativity and art, and explores the synergies where the two meet. Kids are free to experience their world with all of their senses and are encouraged to embrace the possibilities of the future.

EATERY

spring 2016 Many Americans today are dependent on fast food, have wasteful mindsets, and often live in ‘food deserts’ where a lack of fresh and nutritious options exist.

Several people do in fact aspire to live well but many do not understand how to fully embrace a holistically healthy lifestyle.

Situated across the street from Lincoln High School, this historical CocaCola bottling building is an ideal location for a healthy community hangout incorporating organic eats and local arts.

Carbon is the chemical basis of all known life. The concept Carbon represents synergy, the whole being more than just the sum of its parts.

Just as a person is one small part of the world, carbon gives a more focused look at the components of a larger picture.
