3. FRISBY RESIDENCE
Richard and Lynne Frisby are a
young couple in their first home
together. They like the bones of
their home as it is a craftsman
and look forward to putting their
design choices into it.
Richard and Lynne are very fond
of their dogs and would like all
their bed considered as a part of
the overall design. In addition,
they prefer green design over
standard and are willing to go the
extra mile to make sure many
products are natural, sustainable
or recycled. Finally, they both
love to have friends and family
over for social gatherings. Since
this family is eco-conscious, my
plan is to design using four
natural elements, earth, wind,
fire and water. The great room
and kitchen will reflect the
culmination of all elements
combined.

4. FRISBY RESIDENCE- FIRE
For the formal living
room, a custom
fireplace was
created with a
traditional
craftsman feel to it.
Art glass is used
along with black and
whites of their
creation to bring in
a modern craft to
the space while
sticking with my fire
theme. Wool carpet,
Sensuede and
cotton blends were
used to maintain
the eco-friendly
design.

5. ELEVATIONS- FIRE
These are the four
elevations of the
space. A

available on the
project page.

6. MASTER BEDROOM-EARTH
Elmwood is
continued in the
master bedroom.
The human bed as
well as the dog bed
are custom made
items. The sofa is an
eco-friendly product
made by EKLA that
is covered with
Sensuede. Lots of
browns were used
as in the wood and
the fabric
combinations but
blues were added to
give the space some
calm.

8. FRISBY RESIDENCE- WATER
To give the bathroom
an organic feel, a
large wall made of
glass was used as a
part of the shower
surround with teak
for the tub and sink.
The toilet is a Toto
with low water use
and a heated seat. To
go with the water
theme, the PAINT COLOR
chandelier, sconces
and shower head
were chosen
because their designs
were reminiscent of
water or water drops.

10. FRISBY RESIDENCE- ALL NATURE
The kitchen has
custom glass knobs
and hand blown
lighting. The
limestone sink was
chosen because it
was the same tone
as the aluminum
shaving found in the
Alkemi resin
counterop. For the
back splash, multi-
colored glass with a
metallic sheen on
the back of them
were added for
color. The cabinets
were styled after the
craftsman design.

12. SWAROVSKI
Having noticed
that the current
Swarovski stores
are a bit on the
masculine side, I
decided to give
this famous
crystal retailer a
fresh new look
and feel. These
boutiques are
designed to make
the customer feel
special by adding
VIP customer
service.

13. SWAROVSKI
The look that
has been created
is a combination
of Baroque and
Rococo.
Swarovski
chandeliers were
be utilized as
well as black
busts that some
of the finer
pieces will hung
on. Most of the
busts are to be
in locked
window cases as
an attraction.

14. SWAROVSKI
Currently Swarovski
THE ORIGINAL SWAN
uses navy blue boxes
and bags for their
merchandise. A
conscious choice was
made to make it a
little classier and a bit
more modern. In
addition to creating
the bags and boxes,
the emblem was
modified while still
using the swan but in
a different way. The
center of the new
emblem has four
original swans
mirrored twice. Then
the Baroque elements
were added later.

15. SWAROVSKI
These are the four
sketches created
with the help of a
classmate, Juan
Moriera. I assisted
in the visual
design and helped
render the scenes.

16. ANDERSON RESIDENCE
This is a project
I worked on in
2008. The plans
were drawn up
by Design Lines
and modified by
me. The
location is in
Edmonds with a
view directly
over a pond
with the Puget
Sound beyond
it. The lighting
plan is shown as
well.

17. ANDERSON RESIDENCE
Materials chosen for
the space. Three
green fabrics with
different textures, the
center is the
inspirational fabric for
the home. To the
right, more blue was
added in different
weights and textures
for variety. Below
there’s brown and
cream leather for
furnishings and
marmoleum for the
laundry/pantry.
Granite and glass
were chosen for the
kitchen, cork for the
exercise room and
Elmwood reclaimed
wood throughout the
home.

18. ANDERSON RESIDENCE
These are
different views
using Sketchup.
The lower level is
the rec room and
the patio while
the mail level is
where the
kitchen, dining
room and living
room are.

19. ANDERSON RESIDENCE
This home
theater is
inspired by old
Hollywood. Red
is the main
color because
it’s reminiscent
of the red
carpet. Using
the black and
white art brings
in the stars and
takes away
from the
starkness of the
red.

20. HARBOR HOUSE
This project should be
flexible without seeming
unstable. The space
needs to be cozy to give
the clients a feeling of
hominess. The space
should have nooks and
crannies so a client can
curl up with a book
without feeling like the
goings on around them
are disruptive. Safety is a
main concern so making
sure there is an area next
to the stairs for
supervision to hang out is
very important. Also,
clear visibility will help
the young clients to not
feel threatened by the
older clients as bullying
will not be tolerated. My
concept statement is
based on Maslow’s
hierarchy of needs. On
every level an individual
needs certain things
before they can reach
their best potential.

21. HARBOR HOUSE-POP CAFE
This is the Pop
Café that the teens
work in rendered
in Sketchup.

22. HARBOR HOUSE-POP CAFE
Bright and shiny
materials were
used along with
Pop Art in order
to give the space
a whimsical yet
modern feel.

23. HARBOR HOUSE- OFFICES
These are the
materials used for
the professional
space next to the
café. They are
modern, fun yet
serious enough for
staff to work in.

24. HARBOR HOUSE- BOYS SPACE
These are four
scenes of the boys
living space.
There’s the living
room that has
seating for seven
with an area of six
computers next to
it. A few nooks
were put in for
the boys’
creativity. There’s
a library with four
large beanbags
across the hall.
Next to it is the
art nook for
further personal
exploration.

25. HARBOR HOUSE- BOYS SPACE
The bedrooms
were created with
the ability to
expand. Typically
there will only be
one boy per
room. Fun lighting
and fabrics make
the space
youthful. The
fabrics I chose
were from
Crypton for long
use.

26. LUSK RESIDENCE
The challenge
for this project
was to create a
900 sq/ft home
with all the
amenities of a
larger home. A
curved wall was
used to
enhance the
space by
doubling as an
art niche.

27. LUSK RESIDENCE
The main idea
for this space
was to make it
seem larger
than it is. With
that in mind,
skylights, upper
windows and
tall windows
were used to
allow the
outside to come
in and add
natural light. To
the right is a
sketch of the
office nook.

28. LUSK RESIDENCE
Color was
embraced in the
residence in
order to add
interest. By
having tall
ceilings, the red
doesn’t
overwhelm the
space. It still has
a roomy feel.

29. LUSK RESIDENCE
Because very
little furnishings
were needed
for the space,
quality pieces
were chosen.
Art glass is also
a large part of
the design with
the curved wall.
Once again,
every nook is
meant to be
interesting and
a distraction
from the size of
the residence.

30. AUTOCAD 3D
These are the
two projects our
3D AutoCAD
class had. The
living room was
a step by step
process with
our instructor.
The kitchen was
a project done
on our own.

31. RENDERINGS
For one of my
early classes, the
class was required
to render a space
by an inspiring
designer. This
space was created
by Clodagh and
my rendering was
painted with
acrylics.

32. RENDERINGS
This object of this
project was to
redesign and
render a space. A
faux finish was
chosen for the
walls. A higher
backboard for the
bed with a two
tone silk comforter Rendered Using Water Color Pencils
and silk pillows
complete the new
look.

35. FURNITURE DESIGN
To the left is a
“Chable” or a chair
that turns into a
table. It’s a very
simple design that
has the potential to
expand by adding
shelving to the
table.
To the right is a wall
divider which turns
into bunk cots. If it
were created to
size it would have
to be made with
steel for an
industrial look.

36. MODEL DESIGN
To the immediate
left is a model that
was designed to
have an office
space, a bed, a
closet and a work
table. The work
table folds up
against the Murphy
bed when the bed
is used. To the right
is another model
that was supposed
to prepare us for
working in a small
space.

37. THE STUDIO-TROIANI
Located in Downtown
Seattle, the purpose of the
Community Tree Program
is to promote O’ Christmas
Trees and its fundraising
activities, create a
memorable holiday display
in the lobbies of
downtown business and to
promote established up &
coming designers. Tour of
Trees viewers are
shoppers, tourists,
downtown business
clientele and patrons of
businesses where trees are
located.
I was the lead IADT
designer for the Troiani
Tree. Their only request
was they didn’t want a
themed Christmas tree. PROVIDENCE O’CHRISTMAS TREE

38. THE STUDIO-CHILD
Located in on Mercer
Island, CHILD is a school
for children with learning
disabilities. Our mission
was to create a space that
is versatile for children
with different learning
preferences. We chose
heavy duty pieces made of
EVA foam. Often times
children with Autism are
inspired by certain colors.
This is why we used with
color-changing light bulbs.
The flooring was covered
with a mat so if a child fell,
they wouldn't hurt
themselves. This was a
great project with much to
learn about learning
disabilities.
