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.

Skamania Youth Center Design

With a group of people, I worked on designing a youth center for the the teens of Skamania, Washington. This involved taking a roadtrip to Skamania to meet with students and adults from the community, as well as measuring and taking pitures of the barn, which was to be the building for the eventual Youth Center.
There were challenges in using this barn for the center because once every year, it sitll had to be used for the fair. So we had to design a place that could be completely cleared out during the fair. We also had to think about materials and flooring that would be appropriate for playing and at the same time, could be used with animals.
This was a really exciting task because we got to work with these clients face to face. We got the chance to actually see the place, and the community it was in which ultimately helped design the place.
