Art Building Lounge I collaborated with the Art Department Chair to create a lounge space for the Art Department Lobby. We divided the space into lounge seating and tables. The bulkhead about the space was highlighted with a bright blue to anchor the space and add interest.
Janus Forum Office The Janus Forum invites two political speakers to campus each year. This lounge and office space was created through donated funds as a headquarters for the forum. Process work shows a floor plan, axon, and original perspectives of the lounge.
Retail TOMS Flagship Store The TOMS shoe brand is all about providing the connection between the consumer and a person in need by donating a pair of shoes or glasses with every purchase. In the design, the connection between elements relate to the primary cause of the TOMS brand and its goal to establish connections throughout the world.
A bond between the product and consumer
The TOMS store creates a multi-use atmosphere with shoe and eyeglass selection, vivid graphics, and a central shoe design station.

Healthcare Horizon Alzheimer Center The design celebrates the intricate pieces that make up a life. The concept model from the study of sound inspires a space with bright, bold, and natural elements. Feature walls throughout the space intrigue visitors and create a unique canvas of color and texture.
Sensuality in space
The study of three spaces and their use of sound, light, and touch began the initial process of designing the Alzheimer center. A concept and model were derived for each location.

The inspiration for the design came from the client’s occupations of roller coaster designer and retired artist. A desire to create bold movement within the space propels every design decision.
Wood texture softens the diagonal lines.
Diagonal walls create energy within the space
Diagonal lines emphasize movement
When thinking about a space that would be both appealing to an artist and roller coaster designer- wood, color, texture, and movement came to mind.

We are innovators
workplace Design FRCH DESIGN WORLDWIDE The objective of the Workplace Design Studio is to design a new corporate workplace for a design firm. A new office space was created for the design firm FRCH in Cincinnati, OH. The new design provides plenty of space for Friday “Wing Dings� and collaboration.
We Break the Rules... Strength
Our take on Retail
Some of the most talented people in the world find their professional home at FRCH. Each team collaborates together for new and innovative ideas. In addition to specific team brainstorm meetings, invitations are always sent out to members of the entire firm for fresh perspectives. At FRCH, we strive to tailor each product specifically to our clients, for their specific needs. For both ourselves, and for our clients, we aim for design awards.
A prime example of an innovative idea is their approach to the design of Sunglass Hut. Although the cardinal rule is to place merchandise at eye level as a prime display location, the team put a mirror band around the entire store display so that customers wouldn’t have to search for a place to check themselves out. The mirror band had been avoided by other retail firms due to fear of breaking the rules of retail.
