PAINTING STUDIES FALL 2013 -Selected paintings
This triumvirate of paintings completes the “on-site� collection I created during my semester abroad. Starting from top left is an interior shot City Hall, looking out into the streets of Copenhagen, Denmark (2). To the right is an interior shot of a church window that reveals a glimpse of the surrounding forest in Helsinki, Finland (3). A gentle light filters through colored glass windowpanes, tinged with blue, pink, and green. The final image is of an exterior covered walkway on a street in Copenhagen, Denmark (4). The intensity of the powerful Danish morning sun created a high contrast composition of dark shadows and a bright reflection in the central window.

THE PARENTHESIS BED SPRING 2019 Expandable Bed Frame System
There is a gap in the current market between the high end, upholstered bed frame, and the minimal, adjustable metal bed frame. The Parenthesis Bed system has the capability of adjusting to two different mattress sizes while maintaining a seamless and elegant form. The fully upholstered, rounded frame holds a sensitivity to the human body so that your level of comfort extends beyond the mattress. The system is comprised 2 bumpers, 2 expander pieces, 1 powder coated steel frame, 1 innovative vertical slat system, and 1 headboard with z-clip attachments.

THE MCKINLEY CHAIR SPRING 2015 Cardboard chair
The prompt of this project was to create a cardboard chair out of four sheets of corrugated cardboard. Students were to design their own individual chair that was to later become part of a series with the designs of two other students. In addition, the chair had to support the weight of its designer.
The inspiration of my chair design was the “Steel Sheet Chair” by Max Lamb. Lamb’s design began with a laser cut sheet of steel. Edges were perforated in order to allow the user to fold the metal without a hydraulic press. The chair could be secured with nothing more than VHB tape and a little elbow grease. I ran with the idea of a flat sheet of material that could be manipulated by hand, without the use of any tools. Eventually, I created a design that could be completely assembled without adhesive, and disassembled for flat storage. Joints are a simple slot and tab design that eliminates the need for adhesives. In order to support the weight of the average individual, each piece of the chair is layered to be multi-ply. I alternated the direction of the corrugation each time I stacked the sheet for added strength. The chair can be organized into three groups: the top group (top image), the main body group (middle image), and the jacket (bottom image). Assembly is rather simple--the user must just insert the tabs into the appropriate slots. Individually assembled, the top group and main body group can be combined. To complete the assembly, the user must wrap the outer jacket around the assembled unit.

THE OH TABLE SUMMER 2011 Kiln dried white pine
The “Oh table” was a self-directed woodworking project. The design of the table was inspired by a piece of jewelry my mother always wore—two thin silver interlocking bands. The circle tabletop rests securely on a four leg design that mimics the interlocking movement of the ring. Circular shapes are repeated throughout the design—a half circle at the base of the legs and the negative space created by the interior curves of the legs.

LUNETTE SUMMER 2013 Museum and Chipboard
The prompt of this project was to take a 2� x 2� cube and deconstruct its form to create a new, distinct volume. The material could be scored and cut, but not removed. My design process began with a photograph of around, wall sconce. I then create a deconstructed cube and topography that carried the same visual theme and sense of order as my photograph. I echoed the curvilinear movement of the wall sconce with teardrop shaped forms created by scored semi-circles, folded inward. The topography base for my deconstructed cube was created by a series of lines that ran tangentially around the curve of the original object image.
