JUXTAPOSITION OF TRAVEL 2019

This project is an exploration of materials, mediums, and juxtaposition of everyday objects. With new prompts added daily and no result in mind through the design process, the layering of various objects forces the viewer to make connections. This piece includes the use of spray paint, shellac, marker, ink, black charcoal transfer paper, translucent paper, and image transfer to create a dynamic design that comes together in a cohesive concept. Concept prompts included stacking, stenciling, dripping, repetition, and shadow as well as the use of each medium.

Landform House 2020

This project creates a single -amily home and studio out of an unusual site location, the side of a cliff. This design maximizes the idea of views, planting the home and studio on a vertical axis and as removed as possible from the landform. The design features a grand entranceway from the clifftop onto the first floor of the home, as well as a direct path to the studio on the lowest level. This project challenged critical thinking and creativity working with a challenging site. As well, this project tested the ability to work by hand, as the entirety of the design and creation was done without the aid of technology.

Synthesize 2021

In the album Aquemini, Outkast discusses topics of sustainability and humans’ impact on the earth. This building was designed to create a structure and program that responds to both the artist and the issue at hand. Synthesize is designed to transform and innovate new things from recycled clothing. The material will enter the first stage of the building, move through processing to the innovation lab, and finally emerge in the showroom where the new items can be admired and purchased. Synthesize takes on a form that restores the original site by allowing people to walk up onto the roof and enjoy the space created by the innovation of the program.
