About Me:

Having been employed in the Landscape Architecture industry for over two years in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, I have gained vast experience in the uniqueness of this area that have enabled me to become a competent de-signer and planner. My experience has been in both a Civil Engineer/Plan-ning firm and a Landscape Architecture firm exposed me to both planning, landscape architecture, and design in varied levels of detail and scope.

Currently I have taken sections1, 2 & 3 of the LARE and will be sitting for the 4th in April. I have extensive experience in Adobe Suite, AutoCAD, Sketchup & Microsoft Office.

My final Thesis project was to develop a masterplan com-munity that was a model for the reutilization of underuti-lized landscapes. The site, just to the North West of Fort Worth, with over 250 acres, took an area that was gener-ally vacant and zoned indsu-trial and converted the site into a mixed-use, residential, and commercial area which encourages pedestrian trav-el based on the 1/8 and 1/4 mile walking radius. The four major focus points in creating the master plan were gre-enways, people, nodes and water., which were utilized to coincide with the current city Master Plan for the area.

Master Plan

The client, an architect, had purchased over 50 acres in Keller, TX where he had planned to create a 55+ community. The development envisioned incorporated walk-ing trails, ponds, a clubhouse, and small communal areas where 4-6 houses all shared a driveway, encouraging interactions. My responsbilities were in several dif-ferent layouts for the site, housing locations, street layout, and overall site planning. I was also tasked with creating Photoshop renderings for a city vote as well as privacy wall details. Despite a well thought out design, the city council voted no to the plan as they are seeking to reverse the trend of smaller lots with larger, 1/2 acre lots and above.

Master Plan

Kimball Park is a commercial project that will be the center piece for a revamped and modernized modern Embria Suites hotel. The project is situated on an unused site in Southlake, TX and has gone through numerous revisions over a year to reach the construction document phase. The project is expected to break ground in early June, 2014.My role in this was to create some design exhibits for the Hotel pool, perspectives for stream restoration for the city council, signage concepts, and to create the final landscaping plan for the open space component of the site.

Lovers 52Lovers 52 is a high end townhome development located in University Park. In-corporating two blocks of dated apartment buildings, the scope called for work-ing from the beginning with the architects and civil engineers to work with the city dealing with complicated ordinances. I was involved form the first iterations of the design seen all the way through to getting the construction set off to bid. Currently the project is waiting for final awarding of the contract to begin demoli-tion and construction.

Lintel Corporate Office

LInten Corporate office is a project out of Juarez, Mexico where we were initially tasked with creating a planting plan which has now grown into a site plan for an under construction new office building for an architectural firm. Relying on the modern approach their firm has taken, we have sought to replicate this in our approach in both paving pat-terns, planting locations, signage, furniture and outdoor areas. The progress of the project is moving along smoothly right now and will shortly be entering into the design development phase. I participated in the design process, draft-ing the plan, and 3D modeling and rendering.

Perry Residence

06

The Perry Residence is a new home construction to take place in Highland Park. The client wishes to utilize european influences in their design of their home. My role was site data acquisition, site layout, site design with principal, 3D modeling, presentation graphics, and client presentations.

Expected to begin construction in the fall of 2015, the project has been put on hold and will resume this spring.

Botanical Garden Sketches

Commissioned to complete several master plans of botanical gardens around the country, these sketches were completed by a contracting firm, and I was tasked with adding color through photoshop for a visual presentation to donors and the cities of the respective gardens. These are pen on paper sketches that were cleaned up and rendered on the computer.

Explatory Sketches

The summer of 2012 was spent interning at EDSA, Inc., an international planning and design firm in Fort Lauderdale, FL. While there I participated in numerous large scale planning proposals and projects.

The first week the six interns completed a one week charrette where we designed a resort for a Miami South Beach hotel which is currently undergoing renovations. The experience gave us an opportunity to work in a team while providing de-sign solutions in a short time span.

Doha, Qatar was a project that col-lobrated our studio with two other studios within EDSA to come up with street improvements, water front development, and expansion potential for the city. This was a paid competition between our firm and several others with the possi-bilities of several millions of dollars in design fees at stake. The studio I was in worked on street improve-ments for one section of the city. We looked at the connection between the roadway and the development and the interactions the people have within this environment. I was mainly responsible for digitization of maps as well as putting together our portion of the design packet. I also put together some sketchup models to be used for diagramatic showcases for our designs.
