Madison Center for Performing Arts

(Senior Project | Conceptual Design)

The Madison Center for Performing Arts is a Christian-based center designed to uniquely combine faith, entertainment, learning, and a sense of community. The space supports people who come to enjoy and explore, while also providing room for learning, growth, and creative expression.

Planning priorities included clear accessibility to entrances, restrooms, and the theater, along with a thoughtful balance of public, private, and semi-private spaces—creating separation without isolation. The goal was a space that functions smoothly, blends multiple activities with ease, and allows the building’s architecture to speak subtly while still serving as a backdrop for everything unfolding within it.

“We don’t know why any designer—let alone a student—would want to use this building shell (and many of you do), but you have the best use of this space we have seen.”

— Philip D. Abbott, IIDA, ASID; Interior Design Instructor, IADT (with guest interior designer)

An Urban Bank Project

(Senior team Design | Conceptual Design)

Primary responsibilities focused on the restaurant, boutique, and lobby design. Ensured accuracy of final CAD drawing files and blueprints across project areas. (Rendering provided by teammate.)

Inspired by technology’s influence on modern culture, our concept created an open, inviting environment designed to attract young professionals while supporting everyday life. Security, personal growth, and a sense of optimism were woven throughout the building. A non-traditional layout encouraged more personal connections between employees and customers, while the color palette, furniture, and finishes established a professional atmosphere with an upbeat, forward-looking energy.

Faithful Accessories Kiosk

(Contract Interiors | Conceptual Design)

A uniquely designed kiosk created to give Christian products a voice in mainstream retail. The design draws the eye, yet remains understated—allowing the products to speak for themselves.

The experience is built around intrigue and discovery, inviting customers to explore both the product line and the message behind it. In essence, the kiosk enhances product appeal, supports the story, and gently encourages a deeper look—leading customers toward purchase from a wider collection.
