PORTFOLIO
� ABOUT
Through my designs, I seek to create interior experiences that are unique and foster the identity of those inhabiting the space. It is my belief that every interior should be a reflection upon the values of the client; distilling these ideals into a concept to shape a beautiful, functional, and sustainable interior environment.

SPAULDING REHABILITATION HOSPITAL STUDIO V_ SPRING 2013
healthcare Approaching the design of the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, I aimed to embrace the values of Translational Medicine, encouraging collaboration and chance encounters between researchers, clinicians, and patients. With this in mind, I used the Tree of Life as a metaphor, alluding to the connection of all life on our planet; to shape the space around this trending healthcare concept. 06

CO HOUSING STUDIO I1I_ FALL 2012
housing Co-housing values a strong bond within the people of the community. The design of the space embraces this concept by a well-defined central circulation connecting both building’s communal areas. Aesthetically, the simple industrial scheme allows for the artist residents to showcase their unique, individual, and constantly changing styles. 20

DAY SPA
STUDIO I1_ SPRING 2012
hospitality When given the existing Wellness Spa building located on Newbury Street, Boston MA, the goal was to capture the flow of water representing pedestrians through the space. The existing architecture is incorporated by using the windows to determine skylight locations and extend light through the space. 26
