CIRCULATORY FLOOR PLANS
Existing “chasm” in the terrain
Supported more by the separation of buildings.
PROPOSED: to “pull out the land as ‘infill’ without disrupting current circulation
PROPOSED: to extend the existing terrain to co-exist with the architecture
Creating entryway and a sense of welcoming.

OWL NIGHT BUS
Frequency of service: Number of Routes: Service Time: Buses:
30 minutes 10 Runs from 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. Modified local routes and special Night Owl routes.
DATA ANALYSIS
Gathering data based upon an analysis of liquor licenses, how late busses run, which restaurants are open past two o’clock, crashes due to DWI’s, and bars and their relational vicinity to all this data prove to be quite thorough. It helped to create a better understanding of the context for which the Multimodal Transit Center (MTS) was to be built upon – which requires a great sense of urgency to address these problems throughout the city. Focusing on this data analysis, I was able to proceed forward and make viable conclusions with my decisions for an alternate, extended program to the initial one directed that uses this data as a backbone for implementation. The MTS therefore, not only encapsulates what would be a transit station that had never been before schemed at such a grand scale, but would also help to lessen the growing problem of DWI’s in the city of Albuquerque.
LIGHT VERSUS DARK
Using a grid system based off of the existing columns and infrastructure, a series of volumetric spaces began to form; inferring darker versus lighter areas of possible program and orientation. “LIGHT WALLS” begin to form and articulate perceived and real walls.

MULTI-USE CONTRAPTION (MUC)
This interchangeable chair is a simple design that transforms into several different shapes with a multitude of applications: Ex. table, stool, chair, and small lounge chair. It is virtually easy to change from one design into another in a matter of seconds. The chair was cut out of 18” x 24” acrylic and carboard pieces with no waste. They are secured together with metal rods, washers, and nuts.
BIKE CARRIAGE
CNC routed plywood was used to fabricate this bike carriage for a local client. Easily put together, this bike-storage container was prototyped and can be used for various cicumstances.
NIKON CAMERA
This self-project was to make a replica of a Nikon D700 using various materials all laser cut. It was then assembled to create the final form in one to one scale
CHICKEN COOP
6-4 LAMP This lamp is laser cut and fit together by notching to one another. Helping with assembly, the “coins” form a curvilinear form that creates interesting geometry that results in dramatic lighting and shadows
This chicken coop was made using only two sheets of plywood, to save on materials and cost. Being part of the fabrication team in manufacturing this chicken coop helped to serve local businesses in not only using this product, but selling the idea to other designers.
The Winrock master site plan is a proposal for a new mall area near Uptown in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The fabrication team put together the model for local clients that wanted to endorse their idea for a new center.
I have a passion for architectural photography
