Environmental Design.

5. ATRAXIA
These conceptual illustrations
were created to depict one of my
undergraduate landscape architecture
projects. One of the challenges of this
project was to create high resolution
renderings that were individually
sized on 36” x 36” boards. This first
piece won the 2015 Environmental
Design Awards Gala for “Best
Rendering Award” selected from over
100 submissions by leaders of local
landscape architecture firms.

7. SUNSET CABIN
The following illustrations were created
during my praxis design studio, in
which we the students were given the
opportunity to design and aid in the
construction of a cabin for the Lama
Foundation, in Taos, NM. The focus
of these illustrations was to emulate
hand-drawn graphics using digital
software.

11. LANDSCAPE DESIGNS
These are examples of my design work
during my time at other landscape
companies. Designs were created
around the needs of customers with
varied styles based on the site’s
potential and limitations. The designs
encompass not only a planting design,
but hardscape designs, structures
designs, lighting designs, and more.
Most designs were submitted by the
customer for review by an HOA, ARC
or other municipality.

FRIAR DESIGN
The home owner wanted a design that
enclosed the back yard and made
it an intimate patio and yard space,
bordered by a lush border garden. The
final design provided the customer a
beautiful landscape that they could
enjoy in the privacy of their own home.

13. HAMMER DESIGN
The home was built on rugged terrain,
as a result the homeowners wanted
a front and back yard that they could
maintain on their own. The design
implemented two retaining walls, a 5
foot high wall in the front, and a 3 foot
high wall in the back. The final design
provided sufficient lawn space for the
homeowners to enjoy.
