SINCE I WAS A CHILD CREATIVITY IS SOMETHING I HAVE

ALWAYS HAD. NOW I AM DESIGNER WHICH IS SOMETHING I HAD TO LEARN. TO ME

DESIGNING IS USING MY CREATIVITY WITH MY INTELLIGENCE TO DESIGN SUCCESSFUL SPACES.

AS A DESIGNER I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF DESIGN IS FUNCTION. THROUGHOUT MY PROJECTS I HAVE

ALWAYS MADE SURE TO CREATE THE MOST EFFORTLESS AND CONVENIENT FLOOR PLANS. FOR EXAMPLE MY FITNESS FACILITY IS

A TWO STORY BUILDING. TO CREATE THE MOST EFFICIENT TRANSITION FROM THE FIRST TO THE SECOND FLOOR I MOVED THE EXISTING STAIRWELL FROM THE CENTER OF THE BUILDING TO THE FRONT OF THE LOBBY. THIS WILL GIVE DIRECT ACCESS TO THE

UPSTAIRS FITNESS ROOMS AND ELIMINATE TRAFFIC ON THE FIRST FLOOR.

I DESIGN WITH A MODERN APPROACH, WHILE MIXING IN ANTIQUE AND RECYCLED PRODUCTS. MY PHILOSOPHY

ALLOWS MY DESIGNS TO ATTRACT A LARGE VARIETY OF INDIVIDUALS, WHILE GIVING FUNCTION, AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE

ENVIRONMENT.

"CREATIVITY IS INTELLIGENCE HAVING FUN"- ALBERT EINSTEIN.

PROJECT OBJECTIVE:

THIS WAS MY FINAL SENIOR THESIS PROJECT. I HAD TO FIND AN EXISTING BUILDING AND ADAPT IT INTO SOMETHING NEW. I TRANSFORMED AN OFFICE INTO A WOMEN’S FITNESS FACILITY. KEEPING IN MIND MY THESIS QUESTION MIND, BODY, AND SOUL: HOW GOOD DESIGN CAN SUPPORT WOMEN’S HEALTH, I CREATED A UNIQUE SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE A VARIETY OF WOMEN REGARDLESS OF AGE, EXPERIENCE, AND TIME.
