Guest Hub
Guest Hub Lobby SketchUp and Photoshop
For the competition, the judges asked designers to create an new Icelandic resort that included a Guest Hub and movable Guest Homes - as well as planning for a Host Home, Barn, Spa. Take The location for the proposed resort, resides in a secluded area along Lake Myvatn. It was important to me, to include spaces that would allow travelers access and freedom to complete necessary or leisure activities at any time of the day.
Guest Hub Formal Living Room SketchUp and Photoshop
Concept View, Freedom, and Convince Turn the axis of a typical square building so that its corners point the way to other areas on the resort grounds. Goal Create a modern and cozy environment, that welcomed the weariest of travelers to the typical sight seers. The extensive amount of glazing allows for optimal views - of the sky or the landscape whenever possible.

Guest Houses For the competition, the judges asked designers to create an new Icelandic resort that included a Guest Hub and movable Guest Homes - as well as planning for a Host Home, Barn, Spa. Take As a requirement, in an effort to make the guests homes mobile - my proposed approach allowed for mobility and easier transport. Retractable walls and Murphy style furniture allowed the guest home to turn into a 15ft. by 15ft. square into a 15ft. by 30ft. home in a matter of seconds.
Guest Home Communal Space SketchUp and Photoshop
Concept Reflectiveness, Freedom, and Retract-ability. Goal Design a versatile guest home that gives the traveler optimal views of the sky and landscape, and a cozy and unique Icelandic experience. For the competition, I proposed an entire custom home that included: entire home engineering and custom built furniture that could be used within the desired space.

The third step, in the retraction process, allows the solid and insulated walls of the guest home to fully retract into their resting positions.
Lastly , glass panel walls slide out of the solid black walls to complete the retraction process. The pentagon form was created to mimic that of native Icelandic Turf Homes.

Take Combine the old ideas of the cubicle and merge them with the new modern concepts of an open office. Keeping in mind of Livewell’s established brand and their clients brands and privacy as well.

Goal Create a collaborative and innovative workplace that highlights upon paths, vistas, and designated spaces. Incorporate a core working zone into the plan that allows the rest of the studios and offices to work around it.

03 Middle School Renovations Spring 2017
Professional
Design Objective: Use Photoshop skills to render realistic views of proposed materials and ideas.
19
Redo Within the District In collaboration with a lead designer, I was asked to help render a handful of realistic views for a client - who’s school district was redoing two of their middle schools. Take With guidance from the lead designer, we planned a material scheme that incorporated their district’s colors with modern comfort touches. Completion During this project I was tasked with Photoshopping in material, textures, and colors on top of Revit drawings and photographs. A challenge I found with this project-and with the photographs, was that the lines were not as clean or straight as the drawings pulled from Revit. Which ultimately made it very difficult to just “overlay” material on top of the photograph renderings.
All snapshots were pulled from Revit, where they were designed and created by Moody Nolan Architects and Interior Designers.

Professional
Design Objective: Use Photoshop skills to render realistic views of proposed neon signs.

Exploration in Neon In collaboration with a lead designer, I was asked to help render a handful of realistic signs for a client. The lead designer wanted to utilize the existing neon branding package that PINK had but also explore new options with neon. Take Although the designers gave me examples, I researched more ways to complete the desired affects. Completion With the lead designer’s guidance, we experimented with colors, neons, backing, and suspension of the newly proposed signs.
