Design Philosophy

The best thing in the world is to create something from your imagination and see it come to life. I've been making this happen for three years now and I absolutely love it. I hope one day to become a designer of custom homes, as well as themed design. I want to push the boundaries of regular design and completely toss out neutral design. I've studied abroad in France, England, Spain, and Portugal, giving me endless ideas from the past and for the future.

Designer Meeting

Over my thanksgiving break I sent some of my apartment designs to an architect, Denny Funderburg, at Aspenwood Home Design. I sent them over email because I could not arrange a time to meet with him in person unfortunately. We are still in contact even a week later about different ideas for the project. My apartment design incorporates a lot of curved walls and big open spaces. For the most part he liked my ideas, but there were still quite a few things we discussed. It is much harder to discuss ideas and get a creative flowing conversation going online however. There were a few issues discussed about having a curved wall into a closet and how that would affect the doors (because that may not be possible, or at least not without added expense). My bathroom design also appeared to be a little too long and narrow. Overall, Denny said he'd like to see a few more walls go up in the design, or at least a better balance of space sizes, but I think I prefer my open space plan with all the smaller rooms together on the north side. At this point, I think I will end up keeping most of my ideas as they are, whether or not they seem possible. It would be more practical to make a few of these changes but in order to stick to my concept I think it would be better off as it is.

(More to come later!)
