This project followed the progression of a linear modular building from a stand alone object to one with a central pavilion, body of water, and grove of trees. Through the meandering modules and the use of only side entrances, I forced the visitor to explore the building, only later stumbling upon the more prominent features. Subtle ground plane changes allow visitors to understand the flow of the building without creating barriers to the exterior landscape.

I strived to balance open studio space with cozier thinking space in this cabin designed for a writer or weaver visiting the Josef and Anni Alber’s Foundation. The cabin, located in the forest against a rocky ridge, encircles a small inner courtyard and opens to the larger natural landscape. Drawing inspiration from the act of weaving, I designed a facade that wove together the natural rock landscape and simple wooden herringbone paneling.

This shelter began simply with my design of a comfortable, efficient bed unit. Each unit contains four beds, side tables, closets, and folddown desks. A screen of wooden slats allows privacy as well as lines of sight and extends into the larger structure. This contrast of warm wood with the sturdier concrete walls provides both comfort and security. Like the bed frames, the shelter walls wander through the building, opening alternatvely to the interior and exterior, allowing natural light in while keeping the circulation straightforward.

Tasked with analyzing a single dish and creating a vessel in which to transport it, I chose vegetable soup. This warm, vibrant dish lent itself to simple watercolor paintings and deconstructed ingredient drawings. The “lunch box� design grew organically from the leafy ingredients and took on a humble yet elegant form. Junior Design Studio, Spring 2018 Surry Schlabs, Critic

My proposal, a memorial to the everyday lives of New Haven dwellers, invites residents to record their stories on its multi-faceted facade. The exterior offers two canvases: simple white walls, asking to be filled with paint, and three large chalkboards. Wall mounted waterfalls above the chalkboards emphasize the dynamic histories of the city by slowly erasing the chalk each night and revealing blank slates the next day.

The process of food production is laid out step by step in this design of an all encompasing “food center�. A journey from the garden to the kitchen and so on emphasizes the way humans interact with food. The streetfacing greenhouse asks visitors to partake in the preparation of the meal. The kitchen and grilling area provide space to produce the meal. Lastly, the multitude of green spaces and pavilions allow the sharing of a meal and the gathering of a community.

Constructing a dominant void required a project in which the space itself is more significant than the actual structure. I flirt with this distinction between the structure and the space by creating a dense forest of sticks that entreat the viewer to look not at, but through them. This was enabled by a nearly imperceptible opening that allowed visitors to slip inside while hiding the entrance from the passerby. Senior Design Studio, Fall 2018 Turner Brooks, Critic

I explored the ways organic and geometric elements meet in this series of small projects. I began with an interpretative drawing of an existing image of the Marble Caves. Using a number of different materials and methods, I attempted to recreate the surface texture and geometry. I then transitioned this agglutinative framework into a series of small “things� that could be rearranged to create different displays . The final step resulted in a single object that sought to bring together these organic and geomtric aspects . Junior Design Studio, Fall 2017 Rosalyne Shieh, Critic

This project showcases the ideation stage of a cemetery designed for Miami’s Biscayne Bay. The cemetery consists of a series of boardwalks intended to criss-cross a manmade mangrove island. In barely allowing these boardwalks to touch the island, I sought to create a sacred space that was protected both for ecological reasons and to honor the urns that had been placed on the site. This processional boardwalk framework provides the only connection between the world of the living and that of the dead. Senior Design Studio, Spring 2019 Steven Harris and Gavin Hogben, Critics

The following designs were completed for the furniture design company Hugo and Hoby located in New Haven, CT and Washington, DC. The first two projects, two steel bar chairs, I designed as an addition to a new Hugo and Hoby collection. The last two projects, a larger conference table and a small side table, I designed for Pirie Associates Architects. Summer 2018
