WALL COVERING SHOWROOM
This showroom is located on the first floor of Uptown Apartments in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The design concept for this wall covering showroom was to give a beautiful and elegant space for the wall coverings. This space was enhanced with brass inlaid in the concrete making a unique yet clean look. It also creates a gridded system that defines different spaces throughout the showroom. The staircase leading to the maker’s space has hidden pocket doors that pull out to display the wall coverings.

MUSEUM
This site is located in close proximity to downtown Fayetteville, Arkansas. In this group project we proposed to demolish the existing building which was an abandoned hospital. During group collaboration, we designed the architecture and interior of the Museum. My role on the team focused primarily on the auditorium and gift shop. Materials throughout the project are all locally sourced. The project emphasizes a respect of its surroundings to promote a sense of community and integration with nearby buildings.

Shoe studied
This project is based off the design and construction of a shoe. The shoe chosen had a glossy black heel which inspired the reflectivity in the assemblage using a mirror. The movement of the assemblage was inspired from the curvature of the heel. After the shoe was dismantled I discovered a gridded structure and mixed fabric within the shoe which inspired a square pattern that was used throughout. The wood was inspired by the different pieces of fabric found inside the shoe.

SHOE COMPANY HEADQUARTERS This project called to transform the basement and first floor of the Mill Building in central Fayetteville, Arkansas into an office building for an eco-friendly shoe company called Authentic. The vision was to make the employees feel at home while also bringing them inspiration at work. Another goal was to integrate the brand throughout the design.
