Why Design?

I always knew that one day I would want a career that I would love, I just didn't know it would take me so long to actually decide on my career choice. Truth is, I still don't know. Although, what I do know, is that it will be along the lines of design, in some way or another. When I first attended college in high school, I choose Graphic Design as my major. Then when I graduated I decided to jump right into Interior Design at Washington State University. Interior Design was not for me. You will notice my Interior Design work at the beginning of my blog. I decided to keep it up because it really shows where I started on my journey. Now, I have found myself back in the Graphic Design program at Eastern State University. Hopefully this is where I will stay. If not, well, I am still young.

The design for my bathroom came from my early concept development, a song by Goodnight Sunrise. As I began designing this bathroom I wanted to create a bathroom that was a place of safety and relaxation. I wanted a calm and accessible bathroom where one could come to be at peace. My overall plan shows a very open bathroom including a shower that is not closed off from the rest of the room. It is separated by a wall. I didn't want a major separation from this shower or even a bathtub. I wanted to make it as easy as possible for a wheelchair user. I wanted a roll-in shower. Another important feature in the room is the in-wall shelving. I designed this in the room to allow for easy mobility around the room, without bumping into shelves. While drawing this room the main perspective was a real struggle for me. I had a hard time keeping measurements accurate while drawing in 3D. Although, I feel that through this project, it allowed my to progress and really understand my work. In my other works I really struggled with the elevations and drawings. With this project I started to completely understand everything and really started to take off with my work. I honestly feel like because of this project I have greatly improved in my drawing skills.
