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.

3 best study models



Each of these were inspired by my 3 parti's and are my three favorite study models. I will use these for inspiration of my concept model and then again for my seat and shelter. Being able to create these concept models using different materials to work with was fun and helped me gain experience in model building. I had never worked with chip board or cereal boxes or metal before in my model building. I've only ever used form core, wire, foam blocks, lighting strands, etc. 
So basically this was a good step to take in my designing since I gained a lot of experience. 
The first study model was made out of a combination of chip board and cereal boxes and inspired by parti #3. The second model was made using chip board, cereal boxes, and metal - inspired by parti #2. The third model was inspired by parti #1 and is made of metal and plastic.
