The concept for this ceramics store is to create a neutral, airy space designed to compliment the delicate, earthy pottery sold inside to establish this atmosphere, lightcolored paint such as tans and whites are used to brighten and enlarge the space. the store design incorporates plants and other natural materials, such as light-washed wood furniture and shelving to further enhance the organic products sold in the store. in addition to the use of natural elements, the store design incorporates elements sold inside the shop by featuring ceramic tile as a backsplash and using the store's handmade bowls and plates to hold smaller products. specific lighting such as pendant lighting and accent lighting under the shelves are used to illuminate both the store and walking paths as well as highlight the ceramics. through these designs, the store clearly portrays an organic, natural aesthetic that compliments the elements sold inside.
this quaint home is cozy, functional, and inviting and offers ample room for convenient living and hosting previously a 1bedroom, 1-bathroom home, the renovation plan for this house added an additional bedroom and bathroom while leaving the exterior walls untouched.
the original plan was recreated from an instagram photo of the existing floor plan. this week-long project focused on scale and using sketchup to quickly and efficiently recreate a historic plan where exact dimensions were not given.
by eliminating the interior wall between the existing kitchen and dining area, a welcoming open concept is established, amplifying the home's inviting nature. while preserving the home's custom features, the bookcase colonnade beautifully integrates the living space and remains the focus of this home with a fresh coat of paint.

this is a renovation proposal that addresses the helton cottage and its owner, a 61-year-old retired travel nurse. the helton cottage has a historic preservation easement on the façade of the structure; therefore, measures throughout the design process are taken to accommodate the needs of the owner while paying tribute to the cottage's unique history the helton cottage, located in greensboro, alabama, dates back to the 1840’s. it is a mid19th century victorian one-story home, with much of its charm recognized by the elaborate latticework that encloses the front porch. the helton cottage is currently 800 square feet, and the buildable square footage to be added to the current structure is 2560 square feet, allowing the house to be a total of 3360 square feet.

this project focuses on the redesign of an existing clinic in northport, Alabama. precise measurements were recorded during a 1day visitation to the clinic, which was then used to create the existing floorplan and new design proposals.
the concept for the redesign of the good samaritan clinic is centered around chains to symbolize inclusivity, strength, and connectivity using bold shades of brown and gray in its color palette, the design creates a modern look the facility features metallic-textured accents to resemble metal chains, and the furniture utilizes curvilinear forms to mimic the curved lines seen in chain links. the space remains open and easily accessible for guests’ ease, while space adjacency within the rooms is carefully considered to increase functionality and bring fluid movement to the space. the design principle of "unity" is evident throughout the space as a reference to the linking of chains as it is implemented through the inclusivity of the design and connecting furniture forms. the clinic incorporates additional design principles, such as the implementation of patterns, which are integrated into the repeated wooden elements and the interconnected floor design these elements guide guests through the space and enhance efficient wayfinding.

this project focused on reading plans from historic buildings to study door and window openings, as well as decorative molding
floor plans from the historic American building survey were referenced to recreate the window elevations on sketchup. after completion of the elevations, custom draperies were designed, which are shown sketched onto a translucent layer overlayed on each window.
