  Freelance

  Jan 2024 - Feb 2024

  Conceptual Design Specialist – Kitchen, Closet & Multi-Purpose Spaces

  The journey of Project פיל began by delving into the clients’ needs, focusing not only on aesthetics but on how the space would function, feel, and respond to the lives lived within it. This dialogue between purpose and form evolved into a spatial choreography, balancing the distinct yet intertwined roles the space would play. The challenge lay in ensuring every element fit seamlessly without compromise, resulting in a testament to thoughtful design. Each component was curated to achieve cohesion with the existing design language of the clients’ office. The space reflects the clients’ roles as pillars of their family and faith community, embodying the elephant’s symbolism of strength, stability, and connection. This design proposal was not about immediate construction but about presenting a vision—an evocative starting point that allowed the clients to see how their functional and emotional needs could be met. Inspired by the project, the clients are now moving forward with renovations to bring this vision to life.- Conducted space analysis and client profiling, to tailor interconnected multi-purpose spaces—kitchen, closet, vanity, and restroom—into efficient, accessible layouts that emphasized usability, aesthetics, anthropometrics, and sustainable design principles for long-term impact. - Conceptualized a cohesive design rooted in functionality and emotional connection, reflecting the clients' values and needs. - Produced renderings and a professional presentation, effectively conveying design ideas to help clients envision the full potential of their space. - Translated the original Spanish design proposal into English, showcasing adaptability and expertise in professional language to meet diverse needs.
