MISSION STATEMENT:
I strongly believe that in order to be a successful designer it is important to be well rounded, therefore my interests go beyond the interior space and reach out to the city in which they are derived. Every designer has their own inner personality that is trying to find its way out through artistic expression. For me, it is very important to stay true to myself, learn from others and to grow from international exposure.

STUDY ABROAD: ROME, ITALY, SUMMER 2010Living in Rome for 3 months was truly an incredible experience. Our days were spent practicing sketching techniques, visiting
museums and part-taking in walking tours of the city. Various design professionals from around Western Europe accompanied our trip
and gave insight on their design aesthetic and point of view. It was a true exploration of our inner design personalities.

Felt is a luminaire inspired by user interaction. Snaps and lasercut fold lines make it customizable. This project explored pattern making, working with textiles, electric wiring and laser
etching. Laser etched fold lines, text and numbers create a snapping pattern to customize the luminaire on both sides.

RIVERSTONE: PEDIATRIC CLINIC, WINTER 2010Riverstone Pediatric Clinic uses careful detailing that sparks a child’s imagination.
It’s an adaptive re-use project located in Eugene, OR. The space is divided between administration and pediatric facilities. It uses “alleys” to divide exam rooms and takes advantage of large windows and double height space. This project mainly focused on
interior detailing and space planning.

NOSTALGIA: CAFE, SPRING 2011This is an adaptive-reuse project of a small building in Eugene, OR. The cafe project mixes the design with an attention to savvy detailing and sustainable thinking. This class taught me how to format and use proper graphic language and content in the production of a set of construction drawings. The final product was an abbreviated
set of 24” x 36” construction drawings. All drawings produced using AutoCad 2011.

SHINING MOUNTAIN: K-12 SCHOOL, SUMMER 2011During the summer of 2011 I interned for BLRB Architects, in Tacoma, WA. My
project was to select materials and colors based off of construction drawings and specifications for Shining Mountain Elementary School. One of the most memorable
tasks that I accomplished was to create a series of presentations that I presented both in-house to the principals of the firm and to the users, a group of 30 teachers.
The project is now in construction.

DEADLINE DRIVEN, HIGH-STRESS SITUATIONS AND SHE PERFORMED AS A PROFESSIONAL. BY THE END OF THE SUMMER
EMMA PRESENTED A FULL INTERIORS PACKAGE TO A CLIENT THAT SHE DEVELOPED ALONGSIDE THE DESIGN TEAM. EMMA
SELECTED PRODUCTS, COLOR PALETTES, IMPLEMENTED DESIGN THEMES AND PRODUCED THE ENTIRE PRESENTATION. SHE
WAS CONFIDENT AND ARTICULATE, LEADING THE MEETING, KEEPING IT ON SCHEDULE AND MANAGING THE MULTIPLE OWNER

CO-HABITAT: MIXED-USE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, 2011-JUNE 2012My final interior architecture studio project is called Co-Habitat. For my thesis, I wanted to respond to the needs of recent
college graduates between the ages of 21-33 and the prevalence of independently rented apartments that do not enhance social interaction. Co-Habitat promotes an affordable, semi-communal housing complex with a mixed commercial program. Since this is an adaptive re-use project, I chose a site that consists of two buildings. Most of the commercial and residential
spaces are placed within a three-story, 1927 brick and heavy timber building. I am repurposing the adjacent 1935 gas station as a diner. My intention is to create a place that encourages communal and collaborative activities while also inviting
the local public in for mart and other commercial reasons.

“AS WE MOVE TOWARD MORE LOCAL, COMMUNITY BASED LIFE, MORE HUMAN SCALE LIVING ARRANGEMENTS WILL BECOME THE NORM. PEOPLE WILL LOOK TO SHARE MORE THAN OWN, THEY WILL LOOK TO LIFE STYLE THAT MAKE CONSUMING LESS MORE ATTRACTIVE AND EASY. BRING COMMUNITY AND COMMUNAL LIVING TO URBAN CENTERS AND PROVIDING A NEW ALTERNATIVE TO ISOLATION OF THE CITY AND THE SPRAWL OF THE SUBURB.”

The design of the wardrobe uses a 36 degree angle that fosters a dynamic interior space and
eliminates long hallways in the existing floor plan. The wardrobe has a dual functionality, acting as both a storage piece as well as a sound barrier between the apartments and the film lounge.

STUDIO APARTMENT
In this project I am experimenting with two types of living units: studios and lofts. In some, I respect and then add to the 1927 existing units, in others, I have designed a new kind of loft living space to fit into the existing building boundary. These would be newly constructed to allow for shared terraces. All of the minimal units have similar
elements making use of sustainable materials, custom modular furniture, and color palettes that speak to the trends this age group is concerned with.
52
MODULARITY AS A THEME
The angle of the wardrobe in the apart-ments inspired the design of the modular bench in the film lounge and the tables in the Co-Lab. Both furniture pieces provide for a range of lounge/work scenarios.
