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.

Frank Lloyd Wright Reminiscence


 The above picture was taken around three o'clock pm in high sunlight. The pine needles are the inspiration for a seat and shelter I have been designing that is reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright. Refer to the Frank Lloyd Wright poster posted a few weeks ago. I used quotes from Frank to inspire the seat and shelter (concept models to come soon for your viewing pleasure).


 After gathering/picking pine needles off the tree I did a complete object analysis of the needles. Being able to give the object my undivided attention to study it allowed me to come up with a bunch of concept sketches and eventually 3 parti's (see below).


At this stage I was able to incorporate water into my designs and narrow down my 100's of idea sketches into 3 final parti's. These three parti's will be used for the inspiration of my study models and from there I will chose 3 of my best and use them to inspire my concept model.
