5 degrees of inspiration…pt. 4
Interview with interior designer Jamie…
Is there someone or something (architect, piece of art, painter, etc.) that inspires your creativity?
I’m inspired by nature. I like for the spaces that I design to feel like an oasis. Organic elements that you find in nature help make a space feel very warm and inviting. Most people tend to appreciate and utilize their rooms a lot more when it feels less like a furniture showroom and more like a home.
What are your favorite elements/colors to use in a design proposal and what elements/colors do you think are necessary to make a successful proposal?
I love to integrate different finishes and fabric textures. Mixing and matching woods and glass; shiny and matte; smooth and textured gives a space depth and character. Typically I like for earth tones to be the base of my designs, and then I use rich colors as accents in the space.
When did you become interested in the design field and how has your career evolved?
I’ve been interested in the design industry all my life. I love any opportunity that allows me to be creative and work with people. I started working at Vastu shortly after graduating from Marymount University with a four-year degree in Interior Design. I’ve learned so much about how to express my ideas, be more confident, and overall be a better designer. I consider myself to be at the very beginning of what I hope to be a very long career, so I expect to continue evolving in this industry over the years.
