Ariel Williams
My name is Ariel Williams, and I am from Chicago, IL. My passion for design began at an early age, inspired by creative platforms like The Sims 4, which sparked my interest in architectural design. With a strong foundation in design, I aspire to apply my skills globally, creating spaces that foster comfort, safety, and a sense of belonging. Upon graduation, I look forward to contributing to innovative architectural projects that enhance the built environment and improve people’s experiences within it.
I designed Hope & Heal Center as a coastal reproductive health clinic where care meets comfort. My goal was to create a modern, welcoming space that supports patient well-being. High open ceilings fill the interiors with natural light, offering uplifting views for a serene atmosphere. Inspired by coastal beauty, the clinic features ocean blues, sandy neutrals, and natural textures, fostering a sense of tranquility. Through this project, I have committed to empowering women with compassionate care in a setting that nurtures both body and mind. This topic has opened my eyes to the limited healthcare access available to women, and has created a passion for creating women-centered spaces in me.
