Ed Debevic’s Restaurant Interior Design
I had the opportunity to assist in the design of Ed Debevic’s downtown Chicago location. This design project was a challenge and my first foray into interior design. My first booth design, host stand, counter and mural design all happened with Ed’s.

Concept Art
It was really exciting to work on the Ed’s interior, not just because it’s a fun project, but because I learned how to use Sketch Up. Our team was lamenting that we had no architect working on this project in order to see our ideas in real time. I took it upon myself to teach myself Sketch Up in order to have more control and visual reference for designing the interior of the restaurant.
Along with materials and finishes, I designed the booths, retail stand and host stand at Ed’s. You don’t know if you can or can’t until you try! This project offered me the opportunity to work with furniture manufacturers as well as other building vendors.
Feature Wall & Main Dining Room
The whole restaurant is a feast for the eyes, but the feature wall needed to be a little special as a backdrop for the dance platform in the middle of the dining room.
