4th Year Renovation Project of Revolution Mills in Greensboro, NC
Revolution Mill is an old cotton mill in Greensboro, NC that was built in early 1900. Our project was to measure the existing nine thousand square foot building and redesign the space for a local brewery, with a mezanine level for private parties or events. My designs were based around the concept of casual elegance, with the idea that guests could come and enjoy the family friendly atmosphere or come in their Sunday best and feel just as comfortable in the space. Much of this project was intended to learn how to design a commercial kitchen based around the menus we created individually, as well as learn about brewery processes and equiptment. The challenges also included maintaining and appreciating the historical structual elements in the building.

Professional Design for John Archer for a student housing complex in Detroit, MI
This project was commissioned as a contract job for the designs of a future complex in Detroit for a student housing complex. I was given the general floor plans that this company typically used in previous projects, and was asked to generate digital renderings to help sell the investors on the job. These renderings were done using both Revit and PhotoShop.

3rd Year Small House Competition Design for a Co-Housing Community in NC This was an exciting as well as challenging project during the spring semester of my 3rd year. We were given the challenge of designing an eco-friendly, 500sqft home for a co-housing community in North Carolina. We researched green building methods and implemented them as much as possible, while trying to stick to a 40,000$ budget.

Glenwood Neighborhood Residential Renovation My Role: Project Management, Renderings, Physical Model Group Project: Ana Dimeo Elizabeth Leonard Kimberly Mott Natalie Johnson Shelley Gates
The Glenwood Renovation Project was an assignment intended to drive the students to focus on commercial design in the community. We were each given a selection of abandoned historic homes in the area, and challenged with coming up with a concept for one of the homes that would encourage interaction between the university (UNCG) and the adjacent neighborhood. My group decided on a co-op market/deli that would support local farmers and food & beverage distributers. We also suggested the Co-op provide a neighborhood garden where the residents could learn skills to pro vide for their families as well as space for interior hydroponics.

Apartment Renovation - 2nd year project Media Used: AutoCad, PhotoShop, and SketchUp
This is a residential design project from a class that focused on using SketchUp. We started by doing a field study of the existing apartment building located just two blocks from campus. We measured the space, then began building it in AutoC ad, and bringing the floor plan into SketchUp. Here we were allowed to design the space as creatively as we wanted.
Sears & Roebuck Home and Homes Built by Design Client (above) Media Used: Revit Architecture This spread of residential renderings was my first attempt at residential design in Revit. They are a combination of both a Sears & Roebuck home that I designed for a school project from looking at floor plans and doing research on the homes (left and below), as well as a residential design project I did for a client of Homes Built by Design (above).

Alvar Aalto’s Experimental House Hand Drafted Term Project 2nd year It was a class in hand drafting where we learned everything from line weights, dimension plans, orthographic projections, to perspective drawings. For this specific project, we were asked to research everything about the house, beginning with a floor plan, and had to figure everything else out, as far as specifics with heights and widths of walls, as well as the type of furniture in the space.

Residential Construction Document Set Media Used: AutoCAD This was the project that taught me how to use AutoCAD. This was a very detailed project that not only taught us how to use AutoCAD, but also a lot about construction materials and building methods.
Tailgater’s Family Harvest 2nd year ECU AutoCAD and Hand Sketching This Commercial Design project was located in Rocky Mount, NC at an old abandoned bus station. This was in the very beginning of my understanding of AutoCad, therefore most of this project is done by hand and microsoft word. For this design I wanted to keep the integrity of the original structure as much as physically possible, while adjusting the space for the functional needs of a Food, Wine and Design shop. During this project we learned about ADA requirements, as well as construction document necessities like reflected ceiling plans, and sections and elevations.

Concrete Lamp & Holey Bowl (Silicone) Group: Erin Smith K imberly Mott Lakeisha White These produc ts were designed as a group, where we were challenged to use untraditional materials that we were unfamiliar with to create a unique design for a vessel and a lumiar y. The Luminar y has a cast concrete base and an acr ylic shade. The vessel is made from silicone that we mixed, poured, and then used snaps to pull it together. In this projec t I did most of the concept development and ac tual building of the produc ts.
Glenwood Porch Rocker This chair was designed live on the front porch of a the Glenwood commercial renovation projec t I did previous to building it. The concept was to stick with the integrity of the struc ture, so I tried to find materials to build this rock ing chair that would show their life, while still being struc turally sound. There was detailed exploration of relative scale and angles to human scale with sketch models produced through digital fabrication using a CNC Router as well as a laser cutter.
