I believe that great design has the potential to dramatically change the way humans interact with each other and our earth. I aspire to create spaces that attract, excite, and interact with the user in ways that are simultaneously functional, beautiful, and environmentally & socially responsible. I am fascinated by new challenges. Let’s discover together. Blacksburg Children’s Museum Institutional Blacksburg, Virginia p. 7-10
- 4. 1 2 NEXT Coworking Corporate Atlanta,Georgia Coworking spaces are bringing together the best parts of places where people traditionally work with remarkably positive outcomes. NEXT will provide a place for users to have job control and options as well as be a part of a naturally connected community. More importantly, this space will support users so that they feel comfortable in bringing their best authentic selves to produce passion-fueled work. Georgia’s iconic fruit, the peach, grounds the space in Atlanta and provides inspiration for the warm, inviting atmosphere that NEXT will sustain. The peach will inspire design decisions within the space such space planning, color, and materiality. Its central element, the pit, which serves as the heart of growth and development within the fruit, will maintain the same purpose within NEXT. The peach pit’s vivid visual and physical texture is the primary influence in creating a sensory experience throughout the NEXT space. Entry Perspective

The ideation zone is a digtal/product sharing area that allows potential customers and other Nexters to see the variety of passionate work being done within the space. The resource center houses printers and mail for the entire office in a location that allows protection from offgassing. This grouping of inbetween space supports individuals and small groups who or waiting for or leaving the forum space. A group of benches and poufs serve as inbetween spaces for quick individual work. The workcafe’s placement allows the space to be a branding elelment that reinforces Next’s value for casual, coffee- fueled collaboration. Project rooms are easily accessible from the open office to allow teams to work in active environments while keeping their discussions private. The studio/ workspace is built off the architectural core in order reduce sound impacts from equipment into the open office. The open office is placed around the main curve of the building to promote movement and disperse acoustical load. Private offices and enclaves are placed throughout the space to provide options that support groups and individuals who need private, focused work areas. The video conference area hosts technology for international collaboration.

- 7. 7 8 Blacksburg Children’sMuseum Institutional Blacksburg, Virginia A collaboration with Carson Owen & Katelyn Merrill The Blacksburg Children’s Museum needed a major overhaul to look, feel, and act like children’s museum rather than a daycare. The design team made three goals for this local project based on regular interaction with our clients. To equally engage children and their guardians, because learning should happen at every age. To inspire all users to be stewards of their environment and community through biophilic features and materials. To create a space that reacts to the user as they move through it and provide new, surprising experiences on a choreographed path. All design features were created to be easily moved or recreated should the museum move to a larger location. As a team, we all had a hand in nearly every aspect of the design process from research to implementation. However, my primary role in the team was to research ways of learning for adults and children, design wayfinding/graphics and develop multifunctional built objects in the form of custom partitions.

- 9. 11 12 VEA RehabilitationSpa & Residence Healthcare & Residential Stowe, Vermont Located in Stowe, Vermont at the base of the state’s highest mountain lies VEA. The word “vea” means path or the true and right way in Latin. Inspired by the overlapping lines of Mount Mansfield’s pathways and their similarity to the human nerve, elements of the spa will wrap users in a natural, dynamic pattern. Through this, the space will encourage the clarity, strength, and energy necessary for the mental, emotional, and physical rehabilitation each Multiple Sclerosis patient is striving to attain.

- 12. 17 18 Blomme WineBar & Eatery Hospitality Cape Town, South Africa A collaboration with Carson Owen. Cape Town, South Africa is unique area for biodiversity, home to over 600 endemic species. It is also one of the most vibrant, multicultural cities in the world. It is one of Africa’s main economic hubs and an extremely popular tourist spot. A growing population has lead to positive economic conditions, but has had a devastating effect on the unique ecosystem. Urban sprawl and poor land-use planning have allowed the habitat of many of the indigenous species to be destroyed, causing many of them to become endangered or extinct. The Earth contains six floristic kingdoms and Cape Town, South Africa is home to one of them. The Cape Floristic Kingdom is the smallest, yet most diverse of all the kingdoms on Earth. Blomme is the word for flower in Afrikaans, a popular indigenous language of the city. The many patterns and textures of the unique wildlife are used as the main design feature in this restaurant and bar. Five geometrically dynamic flowers that represent the region inspire partition patterns. The mixing and blending of these natural patterns and textures symbolize the convergence of the different people and cultures that make up Cape Town. The restaurant will celebrate the biodiversity of the region and help raise awareness of their disappearing ecosystem.Bar Perspective
