Hexa[glow] luminaire: Electric Lighting, Winter 2010, collaborative project

HEXA[GLOW] is constructed out of white acrylic, molded into a semi-circular shape with the application of laser-cut green vinyl wrapped around a CFL tube. The goal was to create a wall mounted luminaire for retail and commercial spaces that plays with the interaction of light and color and is conscious of issues of energy usage.

Patio Furniture Prototype: Furniture Studio, Fall 2011

PROCESSPATIO helps to solve the issue of lack of comfortable seating in Lawrence Hall. The system of seating is inspired by the A-frame used for architecture reviews, & the playful qualities of a swing set. We produced 1/4” scale wood mock ups and full scale cardboard mockups to solve connection and materiality issues.

The restaurant provides breakfast, lunch and dinner; Seating options include a lunch bar, bistro tables, booths, traditional 2 &4 top tables as well as a lounge space.

Travel Sketches, Rome Summer 2010

TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION was something very important to my study abroad experience. I kept a sketchbook of diagrammatic, perspective and orthogonal sketches of places and objects I found especially inspiring and well designed. I collected photos of similar details and spaces to be able to reference as inspiration in my own designs.

L’Academia di Roma, Rome, Italy: Study Abroad Studio, Summer 2010

The design solution was to connect the studios to the existing wall through structural techniques, and to create a linear and experiential progression through the site. The goal was to provide minimal but respective intervention and to create an enclosed garden, closely and thoughtfully related to the new and existing conditions.

Eugene Music High School, Eugene, OR: Studio Winter 2009

EMHS was an adaptation of three connected commercial spaces in downtown Eugene. The school was intended for musically inclined and passionate high school students. The design creates a relaxed, collaborative environment by including public lounge spaces, private practice rooms and a multi-use performance space. A large ramp creates pockets of space to practice and socialize, as well as addresses issues of ADA and connection to disjointed buildings.

Pediatric Clinic, Springfi eld, OR : Studio, Fall 2009

THE RIVERSTONE PEDIATRIC CLINIC THE PROBLEM: Was an adaptation of an existing offi ce building into a pediatric and family health clinic for low income families. Through the use of transparency, white surfaces, integrated with the use of fi sh tanks and water, brings a sense of fresh air to a building type that usually has negative connotations attached to it. Clear organizational strategies allow for wayfi nding.
