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.

Depot Concept Model


This is the parti I made from my door hardware inspiration. This parti employs emphasis, line, contrast, and balance. Emphasis is seen in the yellow line. Line is used in the straight and curved lines. Contrast between black and white and straight and curved lines. This parti has a symmetrical balance.


This is my concept model I used for inspiration for the depot design. I designed this concept model my starting with door hardware I saw at the depot and then developed a 2D parti. I took the elements and principles from the door hardware and the parti to create the concept model in 3D. The model has emphasis at the metal ball that radiates out to the lines and then connects back to the metal ball. There is a use of curved lines and contrast between the white and metal materials. The balance of this model is asymmetrical. I have done this process of working from 2D to 3D and I believe it helps with the design of the overall plan because it enables me to think abstractly before planning a space. The exploration to create an abstract object creates ideas to employ into the overall design.
