Mediterranean Villa- Revit Project

This is the Revit project that I imported into 3D Max studio. This was private villa designed for a family in the states located off the seas of singapore. I had alot of fun with the sky portal and the materials library and learing the capabilites of the them. Learning how to

use the materials library was really nice, because I can later use this knowledge to make some of the Revit perspetives I produce really stand out!

Beach House-Revit

This was a rendering of the interior of a beach house that I designed. I was able to experiment with Revit and then 3D max. In 3d max I learned about the skyportal and the rendering dialog box.

Melcher Residence-Revit

This was a final project done in my Revit class where we were to practice more with the program while developing skills in Revit dealing with the exterior of the building's facade and openings. A very rough interpretation of a structure and more a model study, but a start to learning more about the program.

Designer's Statement

Hello everyone, my name is Alexis Herbold and I am a student here at Washington State University in Pullman where I am currently enrolled as an under graduate in the senior interior design classes. Interior design has always been of interest to me and I feel that this profession is most compatible with my talents, imagination and creativity.
My interest in interior design goes as far back as I can remember where re-arranging my mother’s living room and my room as well, organizing the kitchen’s drawers and cleaning like crazy all became my hobbies. This if anything was my inspiration. You wouldn’t find me on a sunny day playing with the neighborhood kids, but rather keeping myself busy with household cleaning and re-arranging of some sort. It wasn’t until I grew up a bit and started thinking about career paths that I may want to take after school that I discovered interior design and decorating was my calling. All the possible ways in which you can transform a room and space into someplace inspiring is both amazing and exciting to me. Also, the ways in which you are able to listen to your clients wants and needs and then interpret that in your own way and present to them a room that you think would best suit them I feel is the most exciting and best part of the job.
At this point and time, interior design to me is something that I become more and more excited about every day. I can’t wait to see what I have to offer this career field as well as its clients and firms and also where it will take me in life.
I would like to graduate and hopefully already have an internship or job set up for me so that I can start my career as a successful, up and coming designer. After a few years of working under people and for firms I would then love to start my own business in interior design and decorating somewhere more east coast of here where I would work with people interested in a change of space. For now, I am still learning all there is to know about the field, but I look forward to getting out there and doing what I love most!
