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.

Final Model



This is the final model of my seat and shelter; RIGID FLOWS. It was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright as well as natural objects such as pine needles and water. This particular photo was taken at noon in order to see the shade casting (more photos from different times to come soon). My seat and shelter is made primarily out of metal with up lighting in the ground and inhabits iridescent aspects in the design. The rigid lines and smooth surfaces are reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright designs. Also reminiscent of his designs are the organic aspects; the rocks and forms of the piece inspired by pine needles and water.
