Spokane Convention Center Renderings Produced renderings for LMN client meetings regarding material choices, lighting, and Ballroom layout. Renderings are done in Rhino with Photoshop editing.
Lexington Convention Center Competition Produced physical models for LMN representation at the Lexington Convention Center competition. Model consists of foam blocking, plexiglass, chipboard, and wood. Employed both laser and hand cutting.
Containment: Storage and Experience The design of this model was based on four ideas: to fold, to screen, participating, and watching. At a 1�=1’ scale, the human body is able to interact with this structure in a controlled fashion. While some spaces demand physical alteration, others exclude visual freedom. This developed from analyzing the basis of a Zoo and how human experience can be simultaneously controlled and encouraged.
Containment: Analytical Drawing Drawing was compiled using Illustrator. Sections were taken from Rhino, and projections were based off of hand drawings.
Urban Spa Design The design of the spa is dictated by an established proportionality between programmatic intimacy and visibility. Private functions are paralleled with dense materials, while public spaces are exposed, encouraging differential experiences with the public. Model is hand cut suing chipboard and plexiglass.

See Yourself Sensing: Split Brain
These models explore the concept of the split brain experience through the lens of touch, sight, and speech. The disconnection of the brain’s hemispheres inhibits one’s perception of the world and the way they can communicate it. Models are hand made.
Intervention on Lerner Hall Lerner Hall, a building on Columbia University’s campus, is a center of social activity. The intervention encourages the paths of different groups (students, custodians, visitors, service people, etc.) to collide and interact where they would otherwise diverge from each other. Model is hand made and cut out of wood.
Free Drawings These original hand drawings were used for private graphic use and tattoo design.
