I have always been drawn to things that allowed me to express my creativity. I am very close to my family, especially my mother, and they are all extremely talented individuals. I have been surrounded by art and music my entire life, it has made me who I am today. I spent most of my childhood in restaurants because my mother is a chef, and I started working in them at the age of fifteen. This allowed me to grow an appre-ciation of how interior spaces are so much more than they appear. They require an understanding of the life that fill them. I love travelling and experiencing new places. My social skills have allowed me to thrive in new situations. I moved to Ottawa to attend Carleton University for History and Theory of Architecture. After com-pleting my first year I found Algonquin College’s Bachelor of Applied Arts Interior Design program. I am currently com-pleting my third year of the four-year program. Since starting at Algonquin I have been passionate about fulfill-ing a career in Interior Design. I firmly believe that you need to do what you love and love what you do, and have fun doing it.

The deliverables of this project was to design a residential space that we could model in SketchUP and render in

3ds Max.

This is a design for a haute couture retail space. We were given an existing template and had to design the entire space, including the staff and stock areas. Everything was designed to OBC standards. The final re-

sults are a combination of AutoCAD, and hand rendering and sketching. All products and finishes were selected and sourced, and custom pieces

were detailed.

This was a contest hosted by Steelcase for junior and senior level students. The deliverables were to redesign how we use our edu-cational spaces. We were provided with a program and floor tem-plate. Steelcase products had to be used primarily in this two story

post-secondary education building.

My design was one of the two that were chosen to represent Algon-quin College in the competition. These are the presentation panels

that were sent to Steelcase. Technical drawings were not required for the competition, but were completed for another class. See

TECHNICAL section further in my portfolio.

The Truss-t chair is an ergonomic, economic,

stylish design solution. It disassembles into two pieces and folds up to lay flat with

the use of hinges. The hinges are the only hardware necessary and only require a few screws to be fastened in order to fully as-semble it. The form of the chair is inspired by the truss because

of its structural and minimal nature.

This was a group assignment to design and build a full

scale, working light fixture. We chose a transitional hallway

into a spa area as our setting. Our design, material and light source choices all reflected

the selected setting.

I was commissioned to design and paint

murals in a new restaurant in downtown Kingston. The owner is very successful

and has three other popular restaurants in the downtown area. I worked closely with

the owner throughout the entire process to create a design that reflected his vision of the restaurant. I created large stencils to achieve the final look. Stencils and paint-ing were done on site while the restaurant

was still under construction.

Problem Statement The Applied Research and Innovation Facility located at Algonquin College is currently facing

functional and aesthetic limitations. The physical limitations within the research facility are limiting the company’s growth, and therefore need to be addressed. The limitations include; an industrial environment which does not provide welcoming nor refined work spaces, poor lighting and acoustical values which disrupt focus and productivity, as well as non-adaptable work spaces. The existing space does not foster collaborative or task-oriented spaces which are both essential to the success of the facility. The facility is in need a cost-effective solution which improves the adaptability, collaborative, technological, and welcoming philosophy which all make up the foundation of the research space.

Concept The  projected  re-­‐design  for  the  

Innova5on   Research   Facility   located   at  Algonquin   College   will   reflect   an   invi$ng  and   professional   atmosphere   through   the  use   of   prac5cal   and   aesthe5cally   pleasing  materials   such   as   wood,   steel,   and   an  energized   colour   paleBe.   The   research   lab  will   shiE   from   an   unorganized   industrial  space   to   a   user-­‐friendly,   presentable   and  func5onal   working   facility.   This   will   be  made   possible   through   adaptable   and  innova$ve   furniture,   appropriate   ligh5ng,  innova5ve   technology   and   crea5ve  branding   strategies.   Ul5mately   the   re-­‐design   will   foster   casual   interac5ons,  comfort,   innova5on  and  produc5vity  based  on  the  founda5on  of  an  energized  space.

Entry The entry is the first a r e a g u e s t s a r e presented with. The feature wall reflects the branding colours, as well as displays work done in the space. The physical boards are mounted, but tablets are used to interact further with the work . I t i s designed based off of a giant light bright, which reflects the working aspect of the s p a c e a n d t h e energizing concept.

Coffee Area This area greets the visitors upon entrance to allow guests to see the users collaborating in a more casual setting. It also allows easy access to all areas.

Innovation Lab Meeting Space Room WA143A has been designed to foster collaboration and adjustability for those working in groups. This space has been carefully considered to formulate a simple yet effective space which allows for its users to be energized and productive. The lighting and paint palette of the space enforce branding and an energized essence, while the height adjustable tables and chairs allow for flexibility. The furniture layout has been placed so that working groups (4 persons) have options based on their group dynamics.  

Innovation Lab Project Space Intention for this space was to create a place where students could choose to work alone or in groups in their sectioned off work spaces. This is an are where pop-up lectures can take place, or group work requiring larger video screens to show student work. To go with the overall concept of energizing I have added moveable seats in the back of the project lab to give flexibility and liveliness to students while they work. All of the furniture is moveable so the layout doesn’t have to stay the same all the time.

User Experience Research The UXR Lab is a space which focuses on Branding & Technology. Being the space the most trafficked by clients, the goal is to invite them in with an energized and up beat atmosphere, but also demonstrating a space to be proud to show off. Having the walls lined with whiteboard wallpaper, multiple media sets, as well as the touch screen projector, this space achieves the next level of collaboration, which is excellent to bring clients into. The conference area fits 10 comfortable, and is adaptable for more or less, judging on the meeting. The front experiment area is set up in a more casual lounge formation, to increase casual interactions between the lab users. Sticking to a low budget, the drop down pieces fix the acoustics, while adding an more aesthetic appeal and comfort to the room.

EThis was a group assign-ment to redesign the Ap-plied Research and In-

novation lab in Algonquin College. The budget was one of our main focuses. Each team member was

assigned a different space within the lab. We worked

together to create a unified design between the diverse

spaces.

These are my contributions to the assignment. To the left is our team’s final presentation board, which I was also responsible for. Elements from the different teams are currently being selected

to be implemented into the space.

The deliverables of this project was to cre-ate a corner section model of a house with another classmate. I have learnt a lot about the technical aspects of building houses, and this model displays my knowledge.

In my first two years at Algonquin College I was taught how to draft by hand. This gave me an

understanding of all the different aspects of working drawings before moving to AutoCAD

and Revit.
