A curated collection of pieces.
Title: Kitchen Study
Media: Colored pencil on paper
Description: I drew this kitchen from a reference photo to practice perspective, light, and materials. I chose it because the warm wood reminded me of the kitchen in my own home, and I wanted to capture how the curved wall of the windows makes you look all the way around the room.

All drawing and coloring is my own.
Title: Bedroom Study
Media: Colored pencil on paper
Description: I drew this bedroom from a reference photo, focusing on a warm, neutral palette and soft textures like the layered pillows and fringed throw. I chose it because it has the soft fabrics and pinks I have in my own room.
Attribution: Drawn from a reference photo.

Title: Bedroom Plan
Media: Digital floor plan and 3D view, Homestyler
Description: I laid out this bedroom using real measurements, planning where the bed, seating, and closet should go so the room is easy to move through. Then I built a 3D view to test colors and furniture.
Attribution: Created for my high school Interior Design class in Homestyler, using its furniture and decor library. AI tools were not allowed for this project, so I designed the layout and chose all colors and furnishings myself.
Title: Living Room Mood Board
Media: Digital collage
Description: I started with a deep green sofa and chair, then chose warm wood, rattan lights, and berry-colored accents so everything goes together without being too matchy.
Attribution: Product photos are from retailers. I selected and arranged all items into one color and material scheme.
Title: Lemon
Media: Hand-built ceramic with glaze.
Description: I joined two pinch pots to make a hollow form, then pressed texture into the whole surface to copy the dimpled peel and carved veins into the leaf. The photos show the piece from raw clay to finished.
Attribution: Made in my high school ceramics class and fired in the school kiln. I built, textured, and glazed it myself.
