Amanda Nicoletti

Interior Design, 2016

Physical and mental health are the backbones to wellness which make up Thrive, a wellness recreation center designed around a theme of balance.  It merges the characteristics of physical health (muscular strength, cardiovascular strength, endurance, and flexibility) with the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors which express mental health to create a balanced, multidimensional and holistic interior environment.  These characteristics work in conjunction with design principles of hierarchy, contrast, and scale to allow users to achieve a self-directed mind, body, and soul balance which will overflow into their daily lives.

Originally from Syracuse, New York, Amanda Nicoletti began her college career at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, Massachusetts, completing her first year studies.  She transferred second year into Ohio State’s interior design program.  She is an outspoken leader for the design program on OSU’s Student/Faculty panel, actively involved in IIDA, a LEED Green Associate, and an intern in Clara I. Brown Interiors Design Department.  She accepted a full time design position with Clara Brown and is thrilled to begin her professional career there while continuing to explore Ohio.
