This project was commissioned to me by my General Manager during my employment at Starbucks. He had an idea to dedicate a store in the district to a Pride theme and needed help visualizing it. Here is the final result.

Below, you will find progress images from beginning to end showcasing some designs that never made it to the final result.
A couple of challenges I ran into during the process of creating this Starbucks: The first challenge came to me at the start of the project, I couldn't find a floorplan anywhere online with which I had to start from a clean slate and build the store from the ground up. I came up with a strategy to get a near-to-scale model of the store by creating the table I was sitting at to use as my virtual ruler for measuring distance, and then I was able to build out the booth, the bathrooms, and then the walls and ceiling. The second challenge was decorating, and me not being a very decor savvy person, had to apply Pride-themed decor while maintaining the Starbucks feel. The last progress image showcases this exact thing in comparison with the final result.
