Interior Design Portfolio Sample

Sinks House

Sinks House was a full renovation. My work included a complete re-design of the floor plan, kitchen, dining, entry, and living area. I selected all details from flooring stain to cabinetry, lighting, furniture and styling details. Additionally, I designed and painted the entryway mural as well as painted and wired the kitchen pendant lighting.

Fanning House

Fanning House was a kitchen and dining room renovation that included adding a pantry extension and designing the mudroom (not pictured). My work included rearranging the footprint of the kitchen, selecting all design elements from cabinetry to lighting, tile, and styling details. I additionally designed the dining room through moving interior walls, adding built-ins, lighting selection, art, and styling details.

Warren House

Warren House is my one-bedroom city apartment in Washington, D.C. I contributed all design details from furniture selection to styling. Additionally, I personally made the window shades, ceiling light, table lamp, coffee table, wall mounted shelf box, sconce shades, and also re-upholstered the sofa.

Quigley House

At Quigley House, I reworked the sitting room floor plan, enclosed a pass-through doorway, selected all wall colors, art, furniture and styling details.

Modern Nursery

In the Modern Nursery, I designed and executed the wall mural as well as selected furniture and styling details.

Gorilla 76

I designed and executed the gorilla mural out of ethernet cables as well as selected all furniture and styling details.

Moving Forward and How I Want to Grow

In the future, I would like to include craftsman details, textures, colors, patina, history, and depth in my work. There is a whole world of folk-based design, handmade details, Swedish motifs, eclectic English layering, wainscoting, carved woodwork, hand painted tile, stenciled ceilings, rich wall colors, mismatched upholstery, and general elements of playfulness and whimsy that I would love to explore. My portfolio shows a lot of restraint and calculated detail, but could better reflect a sense of ease, freedom, and comfort. I would love the opportunity to show a deeper sense of artful arrangement as well as embracing spaces and details that are not "perfect". I want to grow to make spaces that are not just beautiful but have a sense of magic and wonder to them. I would love to continue to work in residential spaces, but would also cherish the opportunity to create public facing spaces like a children’s library, coffee shop, bistro, or small shop. These are all spaces that given the opportunity, I would make intimate, layered, and interesting.
