THINK INK
The project objective was to design a space for a growing ad agency. The Ink blob became inspiration for the space. An open
floor plan with only a few walls creates an environment where creativity can flow freely. To help stimulate the mind multiple
colors of varying hues were chosen, with lots of places to brainstorm the next big idea.

THE DEN
This concept is based on the
Nube chair by Jesus & Jon
Gasca. The shape of the chair
seems as if it was carved
out leaving voids of space.
The chair also has bright
contrasting colors. With color
and carving out of space, The
Den was created. A secluded
hideaway, is around every
corner at The Den.

VIVID COLLISION
Black Kettle Records produces
Indie rock music. Indie rock is
an eclectic variety of different
styles of music. This was captured
by using elements from a
multitude of sources and styles,
including lines that extend over
and beyond space. The suite
feels eclectic, bright, colorful
and textural. Quirky indie music
represents a space that creates a
VIVID COLLISION.

extend over and beyond
space, there is kirei wood
flooring that turns into
brick on the wall and
then ends as metal on
the ceiling.

areas without walls. Also, cozy nooks are found
throughout the home.

This is a home design for a recently married couple who wanted a home they could grow in. They both love
nature and spend a lot of time outdoors. Only local reclaimed and sustainable materials and finishes were
used. The concept was based on the idea of making a connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
