NEXT was another competition with a changing theme each year. For the year my class participated, the theme was designing a space for a Korean Beauty Company. One important consideration for this project was the integration of COVID-19 protocols, which required thoughtful planning for health and safety. I aimed to stay true to the owner's cultural heritage by making it a central element of my concept, using colors and design elements that evoke a sense of refreshment and cleanliness. The result was a space that reflected both the brand's identity and the current global climate, while remaining inviting and safe for employees.
