Drafting Examples

Below are examples of drafting done during my program through the use of AutoCAD. Drafting, as well as 3D modeling, is the focus in my current employment. Drafting is also what I enjoy the most.

Retail Studio

Below is my retail studio, completed in my second year of Interior Design. The design of this studio was based on an existing unused retail space within the local mall. Along with designing the space, we also had to create a business plan for our store. I created "Luscious", a lingerie store.

Office Studio

Below are the images from my office studio, completed in my last semester of Interior Design. The objective for this studio was to design an office space using real life modular wall and furniture products. The line I chose to use was the Lifespace wall line by SMED (now Haworth). Another goal of the project was to create a layout where departments that interacted frequently with each other were within close proximity to one another.

Restaurant Studio

Below is the restaurant studio I completed in my second year of Interior Design. We were tasked with designing a restaurant layout that contained both public and private dining, a certain capacity of patrons, as well as an efficient kitchen and menu. My design was "Tuleep", a high end French restaurant with a menu in both French and English.
