HEALTHCARE DESIGN

I chose to design a teen spa focused on making

young teen girls more comfortable with them-

selves. The spa incor-porates spa services,

therapy, and connection between mother/daugh-ter and between friends

My tenants are young musicians with a strong passion for music. I se-

INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE

FURNITURE DESIGN

location: OXFORD, OHIOtype: FURNITURE DESIGN

AND CONSTRUCTIONchallenge: THE CHAIR

DESIGNyear: JUNIOR SPRING

Furniture design and construction provided me

with the techniques and skills to build and under-

stand the construction of furniture. I learned how

to construct a kitchen cabinet as well as a full size chair designed by

me. I wanted my chair to be functional yet have a

detail appeal. The whole chair is constructed of the

mortise and tenon joint.
