ABOUT ME My name is Hailey Hester and I am a junior at Appalachian State University. I’m a lover of animals, baking, and comfy sweaters. I enjoy photography and art, which I sell online. I play the clarinet and I’m involved with several musical groups on campus. My goals for the future include designing fun, creative spaces for all people and adopting as many rescue animals as possible.

DESIGN GOALS My goal as a designer is to cause people to have a reaction to a space. When I enter a well designed space, I get excited and interested by my surroundings. I enjoy the environment I’m in and believe in creating that same feeling for others. I am a hardworking individual who believes in growing my skills and learning new things. To me, each day is a new opportunity to learn something and to gain a new perspective on issues or projects I come across. I believe that through struggles and issues, I am able to learn how to solve problems in creative ways. I think the reason for most conflicts stems from ignorance of lack of communication. This is why I seek to understand others viewpoints and to learn as much about design and its relation to the world as I can, so that I can resolve problems with thoughtful solutions and style.

PROJECT SCOPEGroup project (3 members)5 weeksFebruary - March 2016Junior levelOtto Zenke competition

CONCEPTVisually Versatile: A neutral color palette allows the sustainable materials to be the focal point of this space. Hints of blue and green add a touch of color and interest. Textures and geometric forms provide interesting visual differences in the space.

About White Rhino This project was done in a group for the ASID Otto Zenke Competition. I worked with two other people to complete this space which is two floors, the lower of which functions as a design center that showcases sustainable materials. We wanted the materials to be shown in use so that a potential client could have an idea of the versatility of each product while viewing them in vignettes. We also incorportated some of these products into our design so they can be seen in an inhabited space.

WHAT I LEARNEDFor this project, we utilized hybrid renderings to create life-like images. The furniture, flooring, appliances, and some accessories were created in Revit and fine detailing was done in photoshop. I felt that my photoshop skills greatly improved during this project and produced high quality, realistic renderings. I incorporated the city of Charlotte in the windows to add a personal touch while simultaniously staying true to the project location.

WHAT I LEARNEDThis project was my first experience working with Revit. While I learned how to construct walls, add furniture, and apply some materials, my Revit skills were just beginning. This was also my first time handing office design and I learned how to lay out an office space for maximum efficiency while incorporating collaboration spaces and maximizing interdepartmental communication.

Spice

PROJECT SCOPEIndividual project11 weeksSeptember - December 2015Junior levelRestaurant design project

CONCEPT Persian cuisine is full of colorful spices and flavors. One of the most common is saffron, which is rich in reds and golds, as well as having light purple petals. The curving shapes of the saffron stigmas were the inspiration for this design.

WHAT I LEARNEDThis was one of the first times I had worked with restaurant design. I learned a lot about Persian culture and customs for this project and worked to implement that into my design. The Ottoman beds allow diners to experience a unique Persian tradition, while tables are available for people who are a little less adventurous. This was also my first time seriously using revit to create an entire space.

Hand Rendering

WHAT I LEARNED I developed skills in hand drawn perspectives through these rendered drawings. I learned techniques to blend marker and colored pencil to create depth and shading. This skill is valuable in creating hybrid drawings and I enjoyed getting to practice these skills in a creative environment where I could design my own space.
