Design philosophy Design can change the world. The way a space is formed can alter a person’s actions or mood. Designers have the power to impact generations through healing, comforting or motivating, beginning a chain reaction to a more positive lifestyle. This is a responsibility that should not be taken lightly.

Staff lounge Restroom
The ebb and flow of the Atlantic marks a constant horizon of comfort in sound, sight and texture. Exuding warmth only found in simple southern kindness of Charleston, SC. The space is complimented with a peaceful scene to magnify the character from cobbled streets and pastel skies.

Retail DESIGN
Tattoo studio in the eclectic River North district of Denver, CO Private studio
An electric fusion of the traditional culture surrounding tattoos and a rising generation of new desires and needs. It is a moment where the past becomes new without losing its original identity. The dynamics formed through a shot of edge and punch meshed with bright polish . A once underground style of art is now raised up and given the space to be appreciated.

A collapsible market promoting cultural awareness in Florence, Italy
An educational space as a center of food, buzzing vibrancy and affection. It is a home that surpasses the confines of a building and a fleeting moment, that comes and goes but remains in hearts. Active state

La Mongolfiera “The hot air balloon,� translated from Italian Custom furniture design
A multi-functional coffee table, with a curved design to mimic the slope of the ceiling. The thin steel frame and acrylic top create both visual and physical lightness, while its texture adds to the playful aesthetic.

Workplace DESIGN
Executive Headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona
Encouraging movement and flow found in the sky. Constantly changing, with roots in Arizona and expanding wider. With flow and warmth, the functionality is generally unspecified, allowing movement throughout as agendas and needs change. While providing personal spaces for the CEO and four chiefs, collaboration spaces are employed to encourage interaction.

The tedious, but tight corners and cross hatching transform the studio space.
Work plus
In the confines of a small area, one case good provides healthy eating options, work necessities, child entertainment, and an after-hours guest suite. A space for a client who juggles a toddler and a live-in grandparent, and a career in dance through instruction and costume design. Meeting work, plus all other needs.

Zoom in
Contrasting the concept of expanding and retracting a camera lens, this pavilion design explores light’s effect on form, and how color reveals depth and volume of space.
Texture & Light
Inspired by an apple to find patterns and ultimately design a reflection of light.
