I have always loved interior design. Growing up it played a major role in my life as every house I lived in was remodeled from one end to the other. This gave me the opportunity to learn about interior design from my mom, dad and our designers, and has really inspired me today! Interior design allows a space to have a certain character or feeling, which can be established through many different design techniques and decorating styles. In the future I hope to succeed in designing a variety of interior spaces, making each special, and fit the particular feeling or style that that job requires. I can't wait to see where my passion for interior design takes me, and what the future has in store!

One Bedroom Apartment & Common Space Design





Designing my one bedroom apartment and common space taught me a lot more than I could ever imagine. It was more insightful than a lot of projects I had been working on because it is an actual space in real life located in Palouse, Washington. When designing the one bedroom apartment I found there was a lot more to think about than just the simple things like how big do you want the bedroom, do you want just a shower or bath, etc. I found the hard questions arose of where are the windows, how do they work with the new walls you have developed within the space, what materials are you going to use, how do they work with others within the space, and are they sustainable? After much feedback from various designers and colleagues I have come to the conclusion that I am happy with my design and believe it would be a well liked space. My favorite part about this project was getting to design the space as a designer and getting feedback on it- this showed me a lot and made it just that much more clear that this is what I want to do for a profession.
