LIVE/WORK 1405 Walnut St. in Cincinnati, Ohio is a vacant, historical Over-The-Rhine building. It stands a mere 16’ wide, 37’ deep, and three stories tall. In collaboration with 3CDC, I designed a private yoga studio at the bottom half of the building, with a living space on top, all while preserving historical features of the building. I designed the space for my client and roommate, Victoria. My design concept revolved around the idea of balance. This project was completed in four weeks.

HARDIN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL For this assignment, I converted a Revit model to SketchUp then rendered the space. I helped the client, Hardin Memorial Hospital, to better understand what their new emergency department would look like. ​ Once I had the space rendered in SketchUp, I exported a walk-through video for them to experience the space more three-dimensionally.

OSU SCHOTTENSTEIN CENTER I was able to create a few renderings for our clients at the Ohio State University for their Schottenstein Center suite renovation. In collaboration with a co-worker, I exported renderings from Revit. I took those exported photos into photoshop for post-production editing. The purpose these renders served were to explain the design direction that GBBN was headed and to allow the client to grasp a better idea of what the renovated space will look like.
