About the client: 18 year old Scott Robeson… yes, my son! I remember it well. Fresh out of high school, Scott was accepted into the most prestigious drumcore orginazation in the world requiring him to not only move out, but move 1,200 miles and 3 states away from home. We created a game plan starting with online apartment searches. Once securing his place and downloading the floor plan, I got to work on the possible furniture layout.

The room had randomly placed windows, a sliding glass door, vaulted ceilings and upper niche cut outs - the combination of these things all contributed to the visual roller coaster one felt when ... >> Read More...
