As a landscape architecture student, I bring
a strong interest in working landscapes
(continued from my years working as a farmer),
climate change adaptation and resilience,
and community engagement and outreach.
Throughout my time in school I have been able
to work on real projects in local communities,
working with local stakeholders.
These interests affect my graphics as well
as my design- I try to make sure the site
design and the graphic language of a project
compliments and enhances the existing social,
ecological, and cultural values of the site’s
context.

My studio project from Fall 2016
Studio taught by Brian Davis and
Anne Weber focused on redefin-
ing green infrastructure, and was
centered in Troy, NY, a town on the
Hudson River Estuary with a post
industrial waterfront. My design fo-
cused on the Poestenkill Gorge, and
using it to create a social, ecological,
and flood resilient corridor in the
city’s core.

flooding, especially focused at the “pinch points”
of the Lake Ida Dam and Canalization at the east
end of downtown, as well as parkland.

LAKE
GORGE
CANAL 32
In the lake, my design
addressed floodwater
pressure on the aging
Lake Ida Dam by changing
the river bed to increase
floodwater holding capac-
ity and expanding the edge
to allow more recreational
opportunities.
Unlike in the other por-
tions, in the Gorge my
design dealt only with
access and visibility of
the falls and the natural
environment, providing
new viewsheds, paths,
and bridges to connect
the gorge and surround-
ing neighborhoods.
The lowermost terrace
of the Canal, the wetland
accretion level, is formed
with jetties of demolition
debris. They accumulate
sediment and accrete
wetland plants, providing
water level crossings for
people and ecological
diversity.

RAIL PARK ROOTS
2nd PLACE WINNER
BETTER PHILADELPHIA
Along with my classmates Federico Lia, Kelly Farrell,
Thackston Crandall, and Genki Takahashi, I entered
the Better Philadelphia Competition (formerly ED
BACON) and won second place.
The 2017 Competition focused on the planned exten-
sion of the Rail Park into an abandoned rail tunnel
located in and under Center City Philadelphia in the
heart of the arts district.
Technology Used:
In this project, I built the Rhino model of the tunnel
to use to create sections and renderings, and I cre-
ated the large central axonometric rendering using
linework and model drawn from Rhino and Photoshop
textures.
RAIL PARK ROOTS
This unique space within The Rail Park capitalizes on
the unusual opportunities inherent in being under-
ground, including urban exploration, art, shelter from
the elements, play, and the possibility of experiencing
what is usually hidden beneath our feet. Situating our
design firmly within the context of the neighborhood,
its population, and its institutions, Rail Park Roots
bridges aboveground and belowground in ways that
are both scientific and playful, pragmatic and fanciful.

ing with the City of Hudson, NY to create a climate
adaptive and resilient design for their waterfront,
which is experiencing rapid expansion and develop-
ment.
This project formed part of Cornell’s official submis-
sion to the 11th annual Landscape Bienial in Barcelo-
na and was chosen among the 25 finalist schools from
over 200 submissions, and was displayed in the public
exhibit in Barcelona.
This was a group project which I did with Sara Hirsch

DESIGN PROCESS
DIGITAL AND
PHYSICAL ITERATIONS
In an exercise exploring the interaction between
landform and water infiltration, I first modified and
created new landforms within Rhino, then explored
my proposed landform, first using Grasshopper and
some plugins, then using physical modeling in a vari-
ety of materials, including cross-stitch plastic mats and
watercolors. Both digital and physical models were
intended to operate in tandem, and iteratively, as
design tools and not presentation graphics.

runoff coefficient and not in others.
I poured dyed water on the folded paper model
to simulate surface flow and accumulation.

ASBURY PARK
VISUALIZING COASTAL
FRAGILITY
To say that the boardwalk and casino that were built
to accommodate a ten-foot elevational range of the
ocean should have been built to accommodate a thir-
ty-foot elevational range, and thus not be destroyed
in storm surges such as the hurricane of 1945, and of
2009, is to criticize the facts employed in the design
but not the underlying paradigm. The problem is not
that the rigid line was not built far enough from the
undulating line- the problem is in understanding the
shore as a line in the first place, and simply raising
everything higher would not only destroy the aes-
thetic experience of being near the ocean, but would
commit the same folly that was committed in the ini-
tial design, a folly not of data but of process. Just as a
boardwalk designed for a sunny July low tide performs
poorly in winter, and under storm surge conditions, a
boardwalk designed for October 2009 (when Tropical
Storm Sandy struck and destroyed it) would perform
inadequately in mid-summer and in winter.

SUNY BINGHAMTON
RESTORATIVE GARDEN
During my Summer 2016 internship with SUNY Bing-
hamton’s Physical Facilities Department, I was tasked
with creating a restorative garden to accompany
a new health and wellness dorm being built at the
University. The theme of the design was to use Jens
Jensen’s concept of “council circles” to create a variety
of spaces for study, relaxation and contemplation all
linked by a meditation path.
The phasing follows budget guidelines I was given by
Physical Facilities and Residential Life, and i provided
full cost estimates for both projects.
CONCEPT PLAN: PHASE 1
CONCEPT PLAN: PHASE 2
COUNCIL CIRCLE
BOULDER SEATING
In keeping with the initial budget, phase one
includes a mulch meditative walking path and
stone dust access path with boulder circle
seating. The mulch path can be installed with-
out disturbing the roots of existing trees.
Completed project with meditative walking
path, boulder circles from phase one recon-
figured into two smaller seating areas, and the
addition of a community garden and bench
council circle as seen in number 2.
In phase two the large boulder circle is
replaced by a ‘council circle’ of double faced
benches, allowing a dual use as both a gather-
ing space for larger groups and an area that
allows several, separate quiet users.
Informal boulder seating is attractive, afford-
able, and can easily be redistributed between
phases of the project. While Phase 1 includes
a single, larger boulder ciricle, in phase two
these boulders are reconfigured.

TERRACE
PLANTING PLAN
During the Summer of 2015, I worked at Smithsonian
Gardens, a division of the Smithsonian Institution that
manages all indoor plants and all outdoor landscapes
at the Smithsonian, both on the National Mall and in
New York City.
I worked closely with William Donnelly, Landscape Ar-
chitect of the Smithsonian, to prepare planting plans,
attend construction administration meetings, and
create concept plans and renderings.
The garden of the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum
in New York City was fully re-designed. The terrace
was not included in the contract, but its planting was
largely destroyed during the renovation.
I created this planting plan for the terrace. The client
defined the planting palette as yellow and red, and
made clear that the terrace does not have irrigation
and is sunny and dry, with low soil volumes.
The larger site design is a shady and informal wood-
land planting.Those plants from the larger planting
that would survive conditions on the terrace I incorpo-
rated, but added others and created a more struc-
tured planting as befits the formal architecture of the
terrace.

STUDIO DESCRIPTION
My Fall 2015 Studio was taught by Peter Trowbridge
and focused on the NYC Department of Transporta-
tions efforts to increase pedestrian real estate in New
York City. We made designs for parts of Broadway
which have had temporary pedestrian plazas (created
with planters and road paint) since 2007, and which
efforts are now underway to make permanent. We
also incorporated other plaNYC goals such as increas-
ing shade, walkability, bike lanes, and stormwater
management.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
Further developing my studio project from Fall 2015,
in Spring 2016 I developed this set of construction
details further exploring the concept of a pedestrian
plaza with raised planters providing both seating,
shade, and enhanced water infiltration. Bioswale
planters face the street and accept street runoff, while
the infiltration planters receive water from beneath
the plaza due to the pitched concrete slab beneath
the sand-set pavers. Lighting at the base of the seat
walls washes the plaza at night to provide another
scale of lighting.
