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.

Virtual Room Creation

First I drafted out the grid on paper for the room, then I added a layer of structural elements, furniture boxes, refined furniture & people, and then a final drafted drawing of everything all together. 
The next step I took was to scan in my final drawing into the computer and input digital materials for the textures and colors to create the look I wanted. I love the way it turned out and I am very pleased with the outcome. This was the first time I had done a hybrid drawing like this so it was great experience. If I had to do this all over then I would add beams to the ceiling and make a better hallway. Its a fun little self project you can do to keep practicing your skills as a design.
