I worked demolition, decking, framing, drywall installation and roofing, gaining an understanding of the construction process from beginning to end.
2020 - 2021
Using the skills I learned from construction, I went on to do private landscaping and interior renovation jobs. These jobs included working with the client to design and remodel their homes, installing crown molding, wainscoting and designing a floor-to-ceiling mantle.
2021 - 2021
I worked through the entire frame building and finishing process for highend art pieces. This includes cutting the frames down to size, joining the pieces together, and puttying the frames for a clean and seamless finish.
2022 - 2023
I worked for the school designing and building several projects and renovations for the building itself. I was also responsible for monitoring the woodshop, metal shop and laser cutting lab, training new students and advising peers with their projects.

FINAL FORM
The museum was designed to engage the site and its pre-existing conditions (as shown above). It aims to extend the already present circulation and paths in order to provide access to otherwise inaccessible areas of the park. It also is lifted above the floodplain to not only protect the building, but to create viewports of the park itself and of the surrounding area. It also serves as a sound barrier from the enveloping 15th Street and Little Raven Street, as well as providing more engaging and ADA accessible entrances into the site from these streets and the South Platte River.

In my first studio, we were tasked with transforming a solid 8” x 8” x 8” cube idea of stepping: different scales, different circulations and their relationship drew the user in and around the piece, letting them choose their own to another side of the project. I voided out each side, connecting it to one exploration with what
