This project stems from an obsession of processes; and an aim to connect farmer with consumer while adjacent to neighbors and commuters. Allowing all people the opportunity to understand the food on their table. 1

Electric Steel Elevator Archive + Museum Spring 2017 Professor: Eric Amel Tools: Revit, Adobe Suites, Hand Sketching 8
The project seeks to observe the Electric Steel Elevator’s historic integrity while adapting new systems of operations. The primary consideration for holistically adapting the bins was darkness; finding a program that could fully embrace what the bins were intended to do: store grain in a dry cool environment. Thus the museum archive was born.

Working with the Anoke County to design mobile teaching pods. Focusing on assembly, mobility, and function. With client feedback the design process was iterative and progressive. This was a group project spanning Spring and Summer and three separate groups. Work shown is individual unless noted with *.

Minnesotans are resilient people, who live adjacent to the Mississippi River; but seemingly never touching it. This project aims to be a launching point for equitable change along the river coordinator by activating engagement in the locals, allowing all persons to come to the building and have an opportunity to experience the awe and power of the mighty Mississippi. This project was realized through group precinct planning (collaborators Jeff Aviles, Shawn Gaebel) and individual building development. Only indivdual work shown.

Isolating Architecture Masters Final Project Spring 2018 | in process Professor: Patrick Lynch Tools: collage, welding, modeling, digital. 20
Masters Final Project has been a focus on understanding self through the study of isolating architecture. Isolation is an existential quality, experienced across people and places. By looking into seven varying forms of isolation and understanding the spatial qualities of these forms, I can then amplify them and begin to make them timeless.
