This document is a portfolio of interior design work by Kristen Ortiz, a student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. It is intended for design professionals, educators, or potential employers reviewing her academic and project experience. The portfolio opens with her design philosophy, which emphasizes creating spaces that support well-being and the planet, and includes her resume with teaching assistant roles, an interior design internship, and a food service position.
The first project, Judhur, is a 31,762 square foot hotel in AlUla, Saudi Arabia, designed to immerse guests in cultural arts. It includes a walk-through gallery, multicultural art center, mosque, multifunctional worship space, and separate pools for men and women. The design focuses on universal and human-centered design, with a detailed floor plan and reflected ceiling plan showing room layouts and finish schedules.
The second project is a 6,000 square foot outpatient pediatric clinic in Bloomington, Illinois, using salutogenic design to create a healing environment. The concept applies manageability, comprehensibility, and meaningfulness through wayfinding, ergonomic furniture, and interactive elements. The document includes a furniture and equipment plan with exam rooms, a nurse station, and a waiting room, plus a material board with specific finishes and colors.
The portfolio also covers a library project, with a concept statement on salutogenesis and wayfinding techniques. It lists materials like Kirei PET felt and Armstrong flooring, and describes how the design supports manageability and comprehensibility. The document concludes with project details such as scale, date, and team credits, making it a comprehensive showcase of the designer's skills in healthcare and hospitality design.
