I have once heard that two heads is better than one...

Well three can definitely be stressful.

Now we become six.

In our last studio class we were challenged to have a hour charrette with two different groups and I realized... Larger things bring challenge.

We were to come together as two different groups with two different designs and collaborate creating one cohesive and successful design

For the first hour my group mates and I met with three other students and found similarities instantly. The concepts, ideas and design approaches all spoke the same language which was exciting and relieving.  

Unfortunately we did not have the same success with the second group. It was extremely difficult to find any commonalities. 

Even though we do not get to pick our own groups ultimately in the end this charrette was a learning experience. 

There will always be differences but if you sit down and map out ideas you will be able to see the common interests and similarities.

It was a different experience than I am usually used to and it definitely put us back into the swing of things.

Below are my scanned sketchbook pages of the two charrettes.

Wh3Re's WaLDo - CHair Edition..

The beauty and fashion of contemporary style furniture not only interest interior designers but also captures the eye of set designers and producers. Providing tasteful eye-catching pieces to furnish and enrich their sets.

Even though I fall under the designer demographic, I must admit that I’m a little obsessed with chairs… more than I should be and it is always a treat when I recognize a chair in a movie or music video.

Here’s a little “where’s waldo” game I started 

(i'm continuously looking out for famous chairs)

I put a few images below of chairs that I have recognized a music video or movie.

My sophomore year I had the amazing opportunity to move in to my own apartment.

Of course... as a child of design

 I made effort to make it my own and leave my personality on the walls of my room. 

The mixing of prints, magazine paper flowers, marilyn monroe posters and ballet leotard, all speak for my girly personality and past hobbies. 

I love the contrast of the black and white against the pink, mint, cream + browns.

The light airy atmosphere makes this one of my top 10 favorite places in the world.

Just like I said I would... I made a button bouquet.

Perfect for the spring time!

I've always been interested in photography... 

This is a photo of me and my friends that we took in high school and I had cropped and played around with the image.

I gave it a vintage feel to help better speak to the language of classic fashion.

I actually love how it turned out... hope you do too!

p.s... can you guess which set of legs are mine!
