3. P R E S E N TAT I O N P L A N S
for a condominium project
Fall 2007
I assisted in drawing these plans
in AutoCAD, and then rendered
them using a combination of
Adobe Illustrator and Adobe
Photoshop so that they could be
used to graphically represent the
condominium floor plans to both
investors and potential buyers in a
sales center.

for a condominium project
Fall 2008 - Winter 2009
With assistance from the project
manager for this condominium
project, I set up the detail sheets for
this drawing set. This involved both
the layout of the sheets themselves
and the drawing and notation of
each of the individual details.

design studio - concept research
Spring 2006
Each student was asked to research a
creative individual (artist, designer,
etc.) to become the client for a
small re-design project. The creative
process of that individual, in turn,
was used to inform the design studio
project and process.
I chose to research and create
a creative hideaway for Dutch
designer Hella Jongerius.
