wetland garden clemson, sc
This garden encompasses the vital aspects of a rain garden while simultaneously creating a sense of place on clemson university’s campus. The design is based around terraces which create smaller rain gardens and allow for the conservation of water. The look out piers offer an educational experience with signage and the boardwalk creates an edge to further define the space. This was in collaboration with Hannah Job [hjob@clemson.edu].

shade structure clemson university
This shade structure was developed through a design implementation class. The class was asked to design a shade structure, work through various stages of the structure and create construction documents to correlate. The challenge was to think about how to design a functional, usable structure that could easily be reproduced.
