Me in a nutshell

Ever since I was little, I have been interested in arts and crafts. Growing up, I was always busy crafting, painting, or scrapbooking projects of all sorts. I am pursuing design as a career because of this, I want to be allowed to let my creativity and imagination flow freely. I am inspired by everything around me, both by things tangible and felt. I hope to learn as much as possible about commercial and residential design, and learn to take on whatever challenges I am presented with.

This is a bathroom design inspired by a pine cone. The process for this design included an analysis of the functionality of a seperate bathroom floorplan, as well as following the NKBA requirements for handycap accessiblility.
I was sucessful at creating a layout that allows for the laundry to be kept seperate from the toilet and shower. That was the bathroom provides space for a few people to use the space at a time, without being in eachothers way.I was less sucessful though at showing the laundry room space. My poster has enough pictures to fully understand the bathroom area, but none that show the laundry space.
My strenths included coming up with a design that related closely to my concept. My
weaknesses are presenting the design and putting together poster boards that best tie in with that concept. My model for the bathroom is also not the most refined piece of work.
Before this design, I was unaware of many key things that go into a bathroom. Some of those things were lighting, different materials and their uses, and the specific NKBA requirements.
