SKETCHES & RENDERINGS
Sketches and renderings form an essential part of the interior design process, beginning with quick, loose pen-and-ink drawings that capture initial ideas, spatial arrangements, and design concepts. These exploratory sketches allow for rapid iteration and creative experimentation during the early stages. As ideas develop, they evolve into more finished renderings using layered markers and ink to communicate material finishes, lighting, and overall atmosphere, reflecting a thoughtful approach to documenting and presenting design intentions with clarity and visual appeal.
01
SITTING AREA VIGNETTE
This hand-rendered seating vignette captures an intimate corner of a residence, where rich textures and layered lighting create a warm, inviting moment. A plush blue leather sofa with vibrant orange pillows anchors the composition, complemented by the dramatic vertical presence of a torchiere floor lamp that casts a soft, ambient glow. The eye is drawn upward toward the bold decorative wall panel, whose intricate circular pattern generates playful interplay of light and shadow across the teal backdrop. Together, these elements demonstrate how thoughtful detailing and contrasting materials can transform a simple seating area into a character-rich focal point.
02
LIVING ROOM ONE-POINT PERSPECTIVE
This vibrant hand-rendered one-point perspective captures a balanced and inviting living room interior. The composition draws the eye through the space toward the prominent fireplace, framed by large draped windows that fill the room with soft natural light. A thoughtful mix of symmetrical and asymmetrical elements—paired with a cool blue color palette, warm earth tones, and layered furnishings—creates visual interest while maintaining a sense of harmony and depth. The rendering effectively demonstrates how one-point perspective can be used to communicate both spatial clarity and atmospheric warmth in interior design.

HOUSE RENOVATION FLOOR PLAN RENDERING
This detailed hand-rendered floor plan presents a vibrant and spatially rich renovation of a multi-level residence. Warm wood tones, bold color accents, and thoughtful zoning create clear distinctions between public and private spaces, while generous gathering areas and flowing circulation enhance livability. The expressive watercolor style brings energy and depth to the layout, effectively communicating the design intent and atmosphere to clients. The rendering beautifully balances technical clarity with artistic storytelling, showcasing how the renovated home can feel both dynamic and welcoming.

YATES RESIDENCE
This hand-rendered project presents a warm, functional apartment designed for senior living with provisions for occasional guests. The thoughtfully planned layout centers around a spacious living area featuring comfortable seating for relaxation, socializing, and television viewing, while the primary bedroom offers a cozy reading nook adjacent to the bed and direct access to a private outdoor balcony. A versatile guest bedroom includes a fold-out sofa and compact desk, providing flexible accommodations without sacrificing the home’s serene atmosphere. The color-rich floor plan rendering highlights material warmth, efficient circulation, and a balance of independence and hospitality tailored to the resident’s lifestyle.
