Hi there! My name is Paris and I'm an environmental design student with a specialization in interior design. I have a deep passion for creating spaces that have a positive impact on both children and the environment. My goal is to design spaces that not only meet functional needs but also promote sustainability and a connection to nature.My dedication to designing for children and nature is rooted in a desire to give back to our planet and create a better future for the next generation. Recently, I had the opportunity to design a childcare center that provided access to the rooftops for children as a way to activate these spaces and reconnect them with nature. By incorporating rooftop gardens and play areas, the facility not only provided a safe and nurturing environment for children but also contributed to a more sustainable and livable urban landscape. This project reinforced my belief in the importance of designing for sustainability and fostering a connection with nature. I am thrilled to continue learning and growing as a designer, and I look forward to making a positive impact through my work.
