RESIDENTIAL DESIGN WELLESLEY, MA: THE CEDARS RESIDENCE This residential studio was instructed by our stand-in professor, Landscape Architect Dan Gordon. Using a residence previously designed by him and his associates, we were able to reimagine the site, all while remaining online. We explored the connection between architecture and private gardens, as well as how the programmed areas are spatially related to the landscape. Graphics presented in this project were based upon the style of DGLA’s office.
P U B L I C R E C R E AT I O N FORT POINT - BOSTON, MA: A HISTORY OF COMMUNITIES
ALL IN THE DETAILS Located in the Fort Point area of Boston, MA, this site is planned in collaboration with Sasaki. This 100-acre site will be transformed into a residential and business district. The harbor walk overlooks the entire site and will become a grand walkway, as well as a necessary protection against flooding. This project was created back in March 2020, so majority of the studio was done online.
(Phase One): There will be a parking lot located adjacent to the park area, which will be available to both residental and commercial properties.
Nature Scape Dog Park
PROVIDENCE, RI: A WALK THROUGH WOONASQUATUCKET
Taught in Fall 2020, this online studio brought us to a vacant lot just west of the Providence Place Mall. This park is just a few minutes walk from four colleges in the nearby area and is designed with them in mind. It is heavily inspired by local artists in the area, and showcases their talents in the Artist Loop, Art Underpass, and various sculptures throughout the site. East Section (Top)

AMHERST, MA: THE JONES LIBRARY BY CORRINA ROSSETTI + KERRAN HOLMES The Jones Library is situated in downtown Amherst and is the main hub of educational resources for those in the area. The Jones Library serves the community and has been doing so for generations which is why paying homage to the old site was important. This was the first group project we had assigned, and my partner was Kerran Holmes. The designs had to include the following: -Follow a simple geometry throughout the site -Create areas for resting and enjoyment that both the library and adjacent museum could utilize -Incorporate numerous areas of vegetation without the feeling of closure This project was completed in the Fall semester of 2019, and was the first site design I created.
In this final rendering, I wanted to show the potential public spaces this site can have. The circulation follows a rectilinear pattern which invites guests to walk through the space comfortably. Trees are planted in areas that accentuate the movement of the path as well as areas of rest throughout the site.
Preliminary contour mapping
(As group) This hand rendered copy was traced onto velum with prismacolor pencils. We tried to use muted greens to focus the attention on the areas of circulation.

PHOTOGRAPHY PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
When I started portrait photography, it was a side business to help those in my school and surrounding areas get senior portraits taken for a low price as well as let them have a hands-on editing experience after. I eventually started doing more shoots for other various occasions.
