Introduction Statement

Hello designers,

my name is Katie Rohrbach of Katie Rohrbach Interiors. Ever since I was about seven years old I have been designing interior and exterior spaces. I still hold onto some of the interior space drawings from way back then. My passion for design continued to grow as time passed by. After graduating high school I attended Bellevue College studying photography, art and design for about two years until I transferred to Washington State University to study interior design. Currently I am enrolled at Washington State University as a freshman in the summer program. This opportunity to study at Washington State University means everything to me and I will tell you why. When I was sixteen years old I had a grand mal seizure at one of my friends birthday parties and landed onto a glass/hardwood coffee table. Ever since that fall I have never quite been the same… the fall caused memory loss to come and go with each passing day since the accident. Four years later and I still struggle with remembering how to do certain activities or what I am supposed to do. The one thing that this accident can’t take away from me is my ability to design and create. Although I will have this ‘handicap’ the rest of my life I will always be able to do what I love; design and create. The world around me inspires my designs and I put everything I have into a project no matter how small. I will continue to expand on my understanding and elements in the Interior Design industry on my road to my future career as an Interior designer.

Napkin Art

"Napkin Sketch"

Since I ran out of paper I decided to draft out a floor plan and a perspective drawing of my new dorm room for everyone to see. It's freehand drawn to scale or close to it in a black ink flair pen. My dorm is located in McEachern Hall North on the Washington State University campus. By doing these drawings on a napkin I came across some obstacles, such as ink bleeding thus distorting the image I was trying to create. Writing on napkin material proved to be very difficult. This napkin was more of a paper towel type texture with lots of bumps and absorbancy. I tried several brands of napkins ranging from cloth to paper napkins. There are so many paper napkins out there in the world but I finally settled on the paper towel type napkin since it proved to bleed less than the ones I previously tried. Now that I have gotten the experience of napkin drawing under my belt my lines on flat paper have become steadier and more streamline.
