Design Manifesto
Designers make complex information simple. Wherever designs are taken, they can be communicated and understood. As interior designers, we have the responsibility to improve the quality of life for every being and everything through the designed environment and sustainability practices. Design thrives on previous experiences and knowledge. Through learning and sharing of knowledge do we become successful designers and design for the better.

Swede Hollow Health & Wellness CenterDesign Concept
The design of the Swede Hollow health and wellness center is to cre-ate an “iridescent trans-parency” that:
Creates possibilities,facilitates growth, and is an engaging space that is a supportive means to patient- centered health care.
Incorporates elements of the butterfly, a symbol of transi-tion, celebration, lightness, and soul.
Through the different layers of opacity and transparency, honesty and trust can be re-vealed.
Provides holistic care in a safe, secure, and supportive environment, which will pre-serve dignity, self-esteem, and empower individuals.

Design Concept
Stepping Stone Through the steps in which interior design has or has not taken on its way to becoming a recognized profession, ASID remains an inte-gral part in which ASID navigates the stepping stones that caters to students, profession-als, and clients alike. The ASID Headquarters will be designed to invoke a fresh and inspiring en-vironment that reflects the intent of the orga-nization and the impor-tance of the Interior De-sign Industry.

Culturally Sensitive HousingDesign Concept
Intersections The crossroads at which cultures clash and new traditions blend with the old. Points of inter-sections reflects cultural differences merging, creating, and forming a new part that defines a home as well as an indi-vidual. Each culture bor-rows and reinterprets pieces of identity from one another, and still retains its own culture.

Luminaire DesignDesign Concept
Fusion The design of the luminaire is inspired by the Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren. The de-sign reflects the sleek and eye catching design of the McLar-en. LED rope lights are used to create a soft and sparkling effect as well as saves energy usage. The design incorpo-rates a curvilinear outer shell composed of metallic fabric to reflect the sheen of the McLar-en. The bottom of the luminaire incorporates a metal plate with various sized circles to unify the design as a whole. In hopes that the luminaires will be used commercially, it is designed to be used specifically in a food fusion restaurant.

Art and DesignDesign Concept
Art and Design go hand in hand for me as a design student. I strive to make designs simplis-tic. My passion for the arts is centered in the area of design-ing accessories such as pillow cases, vases, and prints that can be hung as wall art. I am constantly looking to creating new designs and welcome con-structive feedback to improve my work.
