Hello! My name is Evelyne. I am a designer and artist based in Los Angeles, CA. I love working on projects that make a positive impact on people's lives, and I get a lot of joy from bringing dreams to reality. In my six years of work experience, I've taken on several different project types of varying scales, as you'll see in the following pages. I have seen projects from concept and design, to bidding and the VE process, and through to permitting and construction. The construction phase is magical to me, it still thrills me everytime I get to step into a project that was only on paper just a few weeks or months ago. I find simple things like clean, annotated and dimensioned drawings, or finding the balance between generous white space and large margins and full-bleed renderings in a presentation, to be extremely satisfying. I bring a "can-do" attitude and especially enjoy the social aspect of my profession; meeting with teammates, clients and consultants. If you'd like to learn more about me please reach out via email or cellphone. evelynechokkattu@gmail.com (+1) 415-246-8775

PHILIP MARTIN G A L L E RY 4,000 SF Gallery in Glassel Park. In addition to the main galleries we also designed new offices spaces, private viewing area, and a back of house staging zone for incoming and outgoing shows.
I worked with Loren Perry on the construction drawings for this project, and assisted with coordination with our consultants and Building departments. Our goal was to provide a clean and minimal backdrop for the ever changing series of shows and pieces. Neutral finishes and infusions of natural light create an airy atmosphere that leads guests through the series of small gallery spaces.

An understanding of the neghbourhood and customer base helped to guide the design for this project. I saw this project from the conceptual phase and through to permitting, and construction. I helped with the design process and was the main point person for project coordination between the client, city building department, contractor and consultants.

GRAND ANNEX T H E AT E R R E M O D E L 6
The Grand Annex is your neighborhood cultural nexus. A welcoming, warm, and timeless space to gather, celebrate, and support the arts. As a live music venue in the heart of Historic San Pedro, the theater is an appealing after-dinner spot for people looking to spend an evening out. The remodels priority was to create a warm, inviting atmosphere and reconfigure the main level floor plan to meet the needs of the theater's clients, patrons and staff. The design for the new bar leans into the art deco style of the building. Sleek, geometric shapes and brass accent. The aesthetic and color palette is dark and moody, so as not to distract from the stage adjacent to it. Mirrored surfaces create the illusion of larger space and more bottles. Lockable cabinets with mesh doors are integrated in the back bar so that alcoholic beverages can be securely stored when not needed. JANUARY 2021 - PRESENT
I worked on the overall plans, code analysis; including egress plans and calculations, while also exploring the bar design, material selections, and coordination between consultants and the client for this project

Once we got an in depth understanding of the scope of work, and the changes needed to first bring the project up to code, and after reviewing the contractors ROM, we helped the client divide the project into two phases to meet their budget needs: Phase I - Bathroom upgrade - Egress corridor to new back door exit - Electrical service upgrade - Fire rating upgrade on select walls
Phase II - Bar / Concessions upgrade, including plumbing - Small commercial kitchen - Remove structural column to increase seating

East Borough Echo Park is your friendly neighborhood bodega with an edge. Hand selected essentials alongside Vietnamese staples and homemade sauces and stocks tempt guests to explore the delicious world of modern Vietnamese food beyond the strip mall classic dishes. The aesthetic leans on classic corner store vibes with a cleaner take that fits into the East Borough brand while making a statement all its own. We worked closely with the client to understand their brand and vision for the restaurant and merchandise. I worked on the conceptual drawings, furniture and lighting selections, 3D model, construction documentation, and permits for this project.
MARKET: Raw & creative materials for displays. Adaptable as the offering changes over time
COUNTER: Keep the guests and counter organized with signage on counters.
SEATING: Window counter with stools. Flexible cafe seating. Sidewalk benches
MATERIALS & DETAILS: Humble materials with a touch of nostalgia. Fewer is better. Use the existing ceiling as a design feature.

Our team worked closely with ASRV’s founder and team to translate the brand’s clear aesthetic and values into a store experience that closely aligns with their digital narrative.
JANUARY 2021 - PRESENT
Strong straightforward forms, authentic materials, and concealed flexibility let the ASRV brand shine through the design while allowing the store to operationally learn and adjust from season to season. My main focus on this project was the elevations and schedules for the Bid Set and Construction Set. I also helped with making sure the design followed the guidelines set by Westfield UTC Mall

D RY D E N RESIDENCE With future plans to adopt a child, the owner of this residence was interested in making changes to their 1,300 SF 2 Bedroom / 1 Bath residence. The most important part of the remodel was adding a second bathroom, so that there was an ensuite Master Bathroom with a shower, and a Family Bath. The Kitchen and Laundry/Mudroom was also fully remodeled to be a more open inviting and colorful part of their home, with ample storage. The clients' fondness for the history of the house kept us working closely with the construction team to salvage wood studs and built-in hardware during demo so they could be reused in the design. I worked on this project from conception and through construction, and was the main point person for coordinating with the client, city, and contractor.

SOLOMON CORDWELL BUENZ A few weeks into my internship at SCB, Pete Noone, a Principal of the studio, stopped at my desk on his way out at the end of the day and asked me to lunch to discuss a full time position after graduation. I accepted their offer, and was thrilled with my decision. I worked to develop several large scale projects, in various phases and locations. Co-ordination, both internally and with the consultants was a major role I took on. The following pages showcase the four projects I focused on, and highlight my role in each.

During my time working on this project we worked closely with the client to design the building form and finesse the unit matrix. We would meet on a weekly basis and I modeled and rendered the various iterations based on discussions. I would also edit and fly through the sketchup model live as we discussed different options for the project during client meetings.

PARAMETRIC DESIGN USING GRASSHOPPER
28
PA R A M E T R I C D E S I G N U S I N G G R AS S H O P P E R 3D EXTRUSIONS FROM INPUTTING VALUES AT DIFFERENT COORDINATES I experimented with creating parametric art by inputting values for the shape, height and spacing of extrusions on a grid.
JULY 2019 - AUG 2019
I then added a positive correlation between the height and warping of the square shape being extruded so that the larger the height value, the more the square shape is pulled into a diamond shape.

PARAMETRIC DESIGN USING GRASSHOPPER
IMAGE TO 3D EXTRUSION; "GRASSHOPPER POINTILLISM" I was interested pulling information from an image to create 3D art that could be applied on a building facade, or to create smaller scale art pieces. Through Grasshopper, I was able to input a photo, in this case a photo of water, and scripted extrusions to occur based on its tones. A small scale 3D print of this model is shown in the photo below.

The image at the top of the page is my proposed cover design for the book with my suggestion for subtitling the original title and using a new title. The title "Rollin' With It," is fun and attractive to a younger audience, and a reflection of the book style. The cover image leaps from the front to back cover and conveys an image that is humourous, memorable and states a strong message that failing is a part of the learning process; many attempts are what it takes to succeed, so try and try again!

BOOK DESIGN ROLLIN’ WITH IT
BOOK DESIGN: ROLLIN’ WITH IT A project with a friend, Keith Warter. All of the written material, research and photographs were provided by him. The book draws from disciplines like martial arts, yoga, science, philosophy, and sports psychology, providing knowledge that is valuable for both skateboarding and life.
I worked on compiling, proofreading and editing all text and photographs into an indesign layout. I edited all the photographs and hand drew / created digital illustrations as a mock up. Shown here are some extracts from the first draft of the book.
