Recommendation Jerrey D. Finnegan MKNA Infrastructure Chair Over the past two monthsI have had the opportunity to work with Ms. Johnson on a probono design project for some residents of Meridian Kessler in Indianapolis, IN...Ms. Johnson’s communication skills were well demonstrated as we discussed alternatives, focused on project details, and thereafter produced a timely representation of our concept...Overall she approached and executed the design for this project in a very professional manner. Through Ms. Johnson’s timely efforts we hope to be able to implement this project in the near future. It was truly a p l e a s u r e w o r k i n g w i t h h e r

St. Benedict's Garden
. Concept . This project was commissioned by the Sisters of St. Benedict to be a relaxing meditation space that everyone at the retreat could use, whether they were a resident or a guest. They speciffically asked for protection from the glare of sun off cars in the parking lot and desired to have a smaller, more intimate space for instropective thought and contemplation. They also wanted space for outdoor gatherings. Traverse Section Sketchup and Photoshop

Fall Creek Downtown Development
.
. Concept . The residents of this area wished that Fall Creek would turn into a destination spot for people who attend events at the Indianapolis Fairgrounds. The idea was to take 42 acres of undeveloped land and turn it into a new urban center for all of Fall Creek. The addition of 4 story retailapartment style housing in the downtown core and family townhouse units would help garner interest in the area and turn it into a destination spotfor the Indy suburbs.

Muncie Great Park
.
. Concept . The community of Muncie, IN, has an abundance of open, unused space. The city does not currently have an all inclusive park that hosts a variety of activites, so that was our design challenge. The addition of outdoor picnic pavilions, concert space, recreation fields, and walking trails were also a part of the project requirements.

Probono Design Project .
. Concept . The neighborhood association of this area was planning on constructing a new roundabout to slow down traffic through the neighborhood. One of the neighborhood board members requeseted me to design an entrance sign that would break away in case of impact. My job also included rendering the image to make it attractive to the community members and encourage them to vote the roundabout and sign into existence. Proposal 1

Muncie Hub Project .
. Concept . This project is one that has been taken on by a group of landscape architecture students, including me. We were approached by a member of the Muncie community who wished to turn the empty space next to his shop into a vibrant public space that included a community garden and plaza space for his new shop entrance. We have been working on this project for about four months and are currently in the production phase of ordering materials and measuring out the site parameters. All graphics on this page were rendered by me, but the designs were developed through group collaboration.
