CENTER FOR UNDECIDED VOTERS POP-UP SPACE The Center for Undecided Voters is a space that is devoted to the promotion, celebration, and understanding of the democratic process as a whole. 7
THE JOURNEY The design for the CUV mimics and reinforces one’s personal journey towards becoming an informed and decided voter. You enter the space in a public, unintimidating setting and make your way through the space, pausing to gain information along the way. The second floor holds the merchandise rooms once you’ve decided your stance, but reminds users that their choice doesn’t have to be permanent.

LES COLS RESTAURANT + RESIDENCE A new take on the Spanish restaurant Les Cols in Olot, Spain. Showcasing the design of a second location at 205-207 E. Broad St, Richmond. 13
REINTERPRETATION OF LOCAL TRADITION The menu items at this restaurant all deal with changing the way you experience foods that you are already familiar with. Bringing this Spanish-based restaurant to Richmond, I wanted to implement this in the design as well.

POLLAK 421 FASHION MERCHANDISING CLASSROOM The redesign of a classroom in the Fashion Merchandising Department using the idea of forced perspective to make small rooms feel more spacious than they actually are. 17
INSPIRATION This project was an exploration in playing with proportions. The inspiration behind this design hinted toward the elongated and exaggerated proportions consistently found throughout the world of fashion. By manipulating proportions, this small classroom was given a much larger feel.
FORCED PERSPECTIVE Using the idea of forced perspective, rather than the modular units increasing in size to keep consistency when viewed from a lower vantage point, units decreased in size to make heights appear taller than they actually are.

GATHERING In order to get students to stop and pay attention to the display, I’ve incorporated seating into the display areas to allow for a more practical use of the space and encourage gathering around the exhibits.

4TH FLOOR POLLAK LOBBY LOBBY + DISPLAY Redesign of the Fashion Design lobby and display case on the 4th floor of the Pollak Building, VCU. The client wanted this display to be interactive in a way that made students want to stop and look, rather than just pass by on their way to class. 23

BIOS GROUP SOFTWARE COMPANY OFFICE SPACE Design for a software company that creates photo editing shareware. Concept focuses on the editing and altering of spaces to emphasize collaboration throughout the workplace. 25
COLLABORATION The spaces in this program were laid out in a way that encouraged collaboration between the different departments in the office. Huddle areas, war rooms, and refreshment bars were strategically placed between departments so that crossinteraction was convenient.

LIGHTING The drop down ceilings found throughout the space will have a major effect on the natural light that comes into the space through the four large skylights in the building Bounced skylight
Top Lighting: Natural light comes through the four skylights and illuminates not just the task at hand, but provides more evenly spread ambient light throughout the entire space.
Light distribution
Side Lighting: Dropdown ceiling produces a light shelf that helps keep out some glare but also helps to distribute natural light more evenly throughout the space
