The Redwood Creek Watershed is made up of 8 creeks. Redwood creek and Fern Creek are the largest contributors. Being within a national park, the watershed is less affected by pollution and is in a more pristine condition. With the many natural occurring processes within the Redwood Creek watershed, its users are invited to observe its abundant beauty. With its seasonal changes, the watershed provides a unique experience at any time of year. Because of its protected state, local residents and visitors have the opportunity to partake in the Redwood Creek Watershed’s active preservation. Although visitation is highly welcomed, the impact that the users create needs to be assessed and a constant concern. With the intent to preserve the site for future generations we need to be aware of the natural functions taking place and the impacts we have on them.
IF WE COULD ALL BE JOHN MUIR WHEN WE TUG AT A SINGLE THING FROM NATURE WE FIND IT ATTACHED TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.

PERSPECTIVE DRAWING OF THE JOHN MUIR INTERACTIVE ART PIECE GRANITE STONE WITH 45 DEGREE CUT FACE
INSPIRATIONAL PIECES THAT BROUGHT ME TO MY IDEA OF THE INTERACTIVE ART PIECE. I WANTED A PIECE OF ART THAT EMBODIED THE PLACE OF MUIR BEACH. THAT TOOK ONE OF ITS FOUNDERS AND ALLOWED EVERYONE, TO IN A WAY BE HIM, SEE WHAT HE SAW. IN THE END TRY TO BE LIKE HIM. WHETHER IT JUST BE FOR THAT DAY WHILE VISITING THE BEACH, OR LONGER AFTER THOUGH THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES. THROUGH JUST STOPPING AND SITTING TO ENJOY THE VIEWS THAT WERE MAGNIFICENTLY PLACED THERE, GIVES A GLIMPSE INTO WHAT WAS THE STRIVING PUSH OF JOHN MUIRS LIFE.

JOHN MUIR One of a America’s first true naturalist and early advocate of preservation of U.S. wilderness. His direct activism helped to save the Yosemite Valley, Sequoia National Park, Muir Beach, Redwood National Monument and other wilderness areas. The Sierra Club, which he founded, is now one of the most important conservation organizations in the United States. His writings and philosophy strongly influenced the formation of the modern environmental movement.

FRESNO FRESNO IS A CITY WITH A DOWNTOWN CORE THAT IS DETERIORATING DUE TO PEOPLE LEAVING IT. THIS PROJECT WAS LOOKING AT WHY PEOPLE WERE LEAVING AND HOW TO BRING THEM BACK to THE CITY CORE.
REENERGIZE THE DOWNTOWN BY CREATING AN ART DISTRICT JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE DOWNTOWN. THE DESIGN IS A NECKLACE OF OPEN SPACES THAT LINK SHOPPING, THE MUSEUM, BUSINESSES AND the CONVENTION CENTER INTO A COHESIVE DESIGN.
design week Sequoia national park wanted to have a new entry experience that made it safer and more enjoyable for visitors and park employees. The main problem with the site was a disconnection between multiple users and programs. DISCONNECTION
CONCEPTUAL PLAN II
THE GROUPS SOLUTION WAS TO ELIMINATE THE MAIN ROAD AND CREATE A LOOP. THIS GETS RID OF THE DISCONNECTION BETWEEN THE SITE AND USERS CREATING A HOLISTIC DESIGN.
DISNEY DESIGN COMPETITION THE NEUTRINO EXCHANGE WAS A DESIGN FOR DISNEYs ANNUAL DESIGN COMPETITION.
WE CREATED A UNIQUE VEHICLE. IT TRANSFERS FrOM A GROUND TRACK TO AN OVERHEAD ONE, WITH PISTONS TO SIMULATE FLIGHT AND ACCENT THE TURNS.
ALCATRAZ ISLAND THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE WANTED TO MAKE ALCATRAZ HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE FOR ITS USERS. THE DESIGN HAS A TRAM SYSTEM IN PARTS THAT COULD NOT BE CHANGED WITHOUT ADVERSELY AFFECTING ITS HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE. IN ALL OTHER AREAS THE ROADS AND PATHS WERE CHANGED to be SEVEN PERCENT and under.
CONSTRUCTED
THROUGH THE PROCESS OF BUILDING I HAVE FOUND OUT HOW THINGS GO TOGETHER AND MAKE ME TAKE MY DESIGN ONE STEP FURTHER OFF OF THE PAPER AND INTO REALITY OF THE BUILT WORLD. IT IS VERY EASY TO WANT SOMETHING ON PAPER, BUT VERY CHALLENGING TO MAKE 2 DIMENSIONS INTO 3 DIMENSIONS AND STILL LOOK AND FUNCTION THE WAY I INTENDED IT TO BE.
STUDIO DESK SHELF
IT IS A SADDLEBAG SHELF TO GO OVER THE SHARED PIN UP BOARDS. THEY HOLD LOADS OF UP TO 65 LBS, BUT WORK BEST WHEN THE WEIGHT IS EVENLY DISTRIBUTED. THE SHELf Was ALL HAND FABRICATED BY MYSELF.
RAIN BARREL THE RAIN BARREL CAME FROM WATCHING ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS RUN OFF GO DOWN A CULVERT IN MY BACKYARD INTO A SEWER PIPE. BEING IN Los ANGELES AND WATER BEING SCARCE I WANTED TO TAP INTO THIS WASTED WATER.
THE RUNOFF GENERATED BY THE CULVERT IS ENOUGH TO OVERFILL THE 50 GALLON BARREL IN ONE DAY.
