A Drafter’s Scarf dives into the symbolic poetry of design drawings, celebrating the tactile tools of studio practice alongside the visual language of architectural drafting. The design is inspired by the time I spent in the Interior Design studios at Brookdale Community College, where I learned the shared visual vocabulary used by artists, designers, and drafters in the building and construction industry.

Along the scarf’s border, familiar technical tools - mechanical pencils, erasers, drafting tape - honor the instruments through which designers express their ideas, while the center unfolds into an abstract floor plan filled with colorful symbols for walls, windows, doors, furniture, and construction-document elements. The resulting design is both a nod to the traditions of drafting and a celebration of the artists and designers who bring spaces to life.
