Design Philosophy
I am a junior interior design major at Washington State University. I have always been interested in design. I enjoy creating abstract and organized spaces. Figuring out corrections to problems through design is a process I believe is fundamental. When I design I want to meet the needs of a client in a creative way. I like to find multiple solutions to a problem to hear opinions to consider a different approach. I think design should have meaning, and that is what I strive to tell in my designs.

2012 Acedemic Showcase
This is a sketch of the Implications for the Development of Interdisciplinary Foundation Course Pedagogy. The layout was easy to read and follow. I found it interesting that I was involved in this event this poster was based on. Interior Design, Architecture, and Landscape Architecture came together to create a bench design. All of the different disciplines come from different teaching backgrounds, so we all approached the concept in different ways. There was a found object that was to inspire the bench design. The Interior Design students were abstract and the Architecture students were literal was something that I noticed. This poster was acknowledging the preconceived notions of each student. Being able to work together early in education is a good idea to work towards so all disciples are well rounded and understanding.
This was the Kyra dress at the showcase made by Marsha Baerlocher. She is a fashion merchandising major at WSU. This dress was a sustainable dress that they will feature in their clubs fashion show. Her mother owns a winery and had lots of left over corks so Marsha put them to use in her dress. She sliced the corks in pieces and dyed some in wine for different colors. This applies to interior design on the aspect of sustainability. Using recyclable materials for different functions they were intended for is good to understand. Her idea could be applied to an interior surface such as a wall.
This dress is made out of unused/misprinted flyers for the Fashion Show. I thought this was a creative way to advertise for a fashion show because it is exactly what they do is design dresses. This caught my eye because they could have thrown away all of their flyers, but instead put them to use. They are going to be making another dress to advertise this years show, too. I almost think this is a better way to advertise because it would bring people close to read what it is saying. Instead of handing out flyers that will possibly not even be read an thrown away or littered. I enjoyed all the different posters at this showcase and learned many new things.
