!+,%-)The past two years have been a whirlwind of long days, late nights, and new programs. I de!nitely wouldn’t have made it through without the help from others. I would !rst like to thank my parents for their unconditional support and teaching me to work for what I want. I would like to thank my best friend for always being there with great advice and ways to make me smile. I would like to thank my ID girls for their support, laughter, and friendship. I would like to thank my instructors for sharing their enthusiasm and knowledge of design; especially Roberto Lama and Suzann Nordstrom for continually inspiring me to push myself further and showing me that the limits of one computer program don’t de!ne the limits of design.

Embracing Evidence Based Design, research was done in the areas of functionality, human scale factors, sustainability, site visits, and case studies relative to performing arts venues. This information in#uenced the programming phase. Bubbles, prototypes, and concept sketches depicted above show the evolution of the design.

D?.22Inspired by the city of Chicago and the colors of Danish modern design, this performing arts facility creates a unique aesthetic blending industrial with organic, both in materials and shape. Warm wood tones contrast with cool greys to create a balanced interior. The largely neutral color palette and varied !nishes make the space a perfect precursor to the onstage performances. Durable, low VOC !nishes are used throughout the space, where possible. Specialty #ooring in the rehearsal space and on stage make the space safe for performers and !t the design intent. Low-#ow and energy e$cient !xtures are used to reduce the theatre’s footprint. Large glazed windows !ll the lobby with natural light and expose the beautiful view. This state of the art performing arts center embraces sustainability as an important asset to its operational success.

$DC+#E#*G#E,H,)*D%CM My internship at Michele Pelafas Inc. has provided me with experience in the salon and spa design industry. The growing company specializes in salon and spa interior design and also manufactures their own custom pedicure units, linen collection, and lounge furniture. As an intern, I have gotten to do a wide range of tasks, which included: creating purchase orders, putting together sample packets, creating preliminary #oor plans in AutoCAD, producing 3D models in Google SketchUp, working with vendors to establish pricing, trade discounts, lead times, and shipping, administrative work. In addition to the tasks I worked on myself, being able to observe the full design process and work under a successful entrepreneur has provided me with valuable insight into the industry. On right are examples of my work with Michele Pelafas. Included is a cut sheet for a client presentation, a preliminary #oorplan for a new salon franchise, and a concept board for prospective clients. CLASSIC ELEGANCE

5:<F4<<> Interning at the Jardin De Ville/ TUUCI showroom at the Merchandise Mart gave me a better understanding of vendors’ roles in the design process and helped me become for familiar with outdoor furnishings and umbrellas. My roles at the showroom included administrative support and marketing. I created email blasts and invitations for showroom events and contacted invitees for RSVPs. I also worked on the showroom # oor during Neocon 2012, providing visitors with product information.

During my internship at Buckingham Interiors + Design, I gained experience in the residential market. As an intern, I worked with vendor representatives to order samples and determine pricing, assisted designers in preparation for installations and client meetings, maintained and organized the resource library, and assisted in the showroom, pictured left. Observing and being involved in the design process of Julia Buckingham Edelmann, pictured left, and her design team was a truly enriching experience that increased my excitement to enter the industry.
