Café Mood Fall 2014

76

Design ConceptCafé Mood is located in Morrill Hall on Iowa State University’s campus. The concept is based on a sculpture created by my partner and I. From our sculpture, we designed a space with a similar color scheme that would appeal to everyone. Individuals have the choice to work alone, in small groups, or congregate in large groups. The meeting room in the middle is surrounded by a fish tank that can be seen throughout the entire space. There is an angled café counter to provide interest and adequate circulation, as well as a fireplace to provide warmth. Café Mood’s light and airy quality welcomes both students and staff to study while enjoying a cup of coffee in this unique space.

Kitchen Remodel Fall 2013

Design ConceptThe original kitchen in this home was small and dark with outdated cabinets and little countertop space. It was enclosed and had no circulation flow. By removing the wall in between the kitchen and dining room, it immediately opened up the space and allowed for a completely new layout. A kitchen island created more seating, storage, and countertop space. Real wood mahogony cabinets were chosen to go along with the lighter mahogony laminate floors that flow through the entire main floor. A quartz countertop with copper flecks is the focal point of the kitchen, and the copper accents in the backspash ties it all together. Brushed nickel hardware adds to the contemporary style. Extra storage can be found in the custom bench seating around the dining table. With windows and a door leading outside, as well as added interior lighting, the space is light all the time. With this design, the kitchen is now both beautiful and functional.

I was born in Sacramento, California, raised in LeMars, Iowa, and currently reside in Ames, Iowa. I learned skills in different art techniques, as well as drafting residential floor plans at LeMars Community High School. I graduated with a Bachelor of Design from Iowa State University in May 2014. I am currently continuing my education in the Interior Design graduate program at Iowa State, specializing in residential design and kitchen design.

I am an interior designer with a background in interdisciplinary art and design. I have a wide variety of skills in different media and love to explore different processes. As an interior designer, I can see the full potential in spaces where others may seem oblivious. My ultimate goal is to make a space functional and beautiful according to any clients’ style and budget.
