In design, I believe in sparkle.
Sparkle stems from simplicity. A facet, layered against another facet, struck with the right light in the right moment. The perfect combination of elements leads to a moment I call “The Discovery.” Much like seeing the sun hit a prism for the first time, this moment takes an ordinary object and elevates it irrevocably in the viewers’ eyes.
In design, sparkle grows with an appreciation of intent and recognition of thoughtfulness behind a decision. Something that sparkles not only speaks to but also augments a bigger picture, and an understanding of this parallel conversation between the micro and macro is what keeps this initial flash of brilliance from burning out.

The building’s primary programmatic framework is structured around eight 11’ cubes that run along its core. These cubes contain the building’s rest room facilities, dressing rooms, art and event storage, and a bar. The materiality of each cube’s front façade communicates its unique level of programmatic fixedness or flexibility.
Walls clad in rusted and non-rusted
metal panels create vibrant niches
between each of the eight cubes.

Four 10’ cubes mark entrances into the back-of-house office spaces. In a similar language to that of the larger cubes running through the building’s public core, these cubes communicate fixed versus flexible as well as public versus private through the use of concrete, wood, glass, and steel. A kitchenette, shared office entrance, and conference room align along a central axis, while the president’s office is tucked back and less readily accessible.

Expansive windows and a double-height interior opening make WG Clark’s Hillman House the perfect space in which to display light. Inspired by the wonderfully different experience daytime visitors would have at the museum versus those exploring the exhibits at night, I treated the existing structure like a glass bell jar encasing a collection of light fixtures by Italian designer Achille Castiglioni.

Program: This lobby is one’s first impression upon entering Virginia Commonwealth University’s Cary + Belvidere Residential College. Classical design elements such as proportion, scale, and geometry were applied to the space, Areas of focus included the building’s main entrance, a general seating area, student work stations and mailboxes, and the front desk.

Supervisor: Evelyn Tickle
Program: Through two and three-dimensional explorations such as sketching, carving ink stamps, and molding clay cubes, create a tool to portray the glimmering qualities of light from a 4-inch square bass wood cube.
Concept: “No longer a piercing, brilliant reflection of light, what I want to convey is much softer and more muted. Less rhinestones and Las Vegas. more candlelit golden glimmer, where the sparkle is appreciated because of its juxtaposition from the shadows in which it is situated.”

verb, “imbue.”

Starting with a solid 4” x 4” basswood cube, I sliced it into eight 1/2”- thick pieces. Sanding down the back piece gave it a shoji screen-like translucence, and I drilled holes of increasing diameter in the remaining 7 slabs. By strategically twisting the slices, a pathway was created to permit the cube to glimmer from within when a light source is shone from behind and around it.
