Over thanksgiving break when I was at home in the greater Seattle area I visited a designer by the name of Alyse who works for Build Urban in Seattle with two of my classmates. While meeting with her we presented our final projects for our interior design studio. The presentation took place at a quaint little coffee shop across from her place of work.
We presented our drawings and our designs for a commercial space turned residential apartment that is accessible for a person disabled in a wheelchair for the first floor, and visitable on the second floor. I presented last, and had all of my final work on my laptop (I had scanned my work previously and had it saved on there). I originally was nervous going into the situation not knowing what to expect but Alyse gave me great feedback that really put all of my designs into perspective. On my floor plans she pointed out practical things that would work and what would not, because what we put on paper is not how we would interact in the space in real life. She also reminded us that a few inches here and there would really provide a big difference when experiencing the space as well.
It was very interesting to see what a professional thought of my college project. Alyse's feedback was very helpful and put my work and thoughts into a perspective that I had neglected to see them in before. Overall the visit was beneficial and I appreciated the time Alyse gave to us.
