A People Engaging Industry
In a world where architecture has become prominent, is it possible that we have been designing with a certain aesthetic in mind rather than designing spaces for people to truly live in? We must remember that it is the people who make the spaces come alive and not the reverse. People must be thought of first if we want to create truly useful spaces.

Process In designing a building as complex as this one, there are many things that needed to be worked through to integrate each piece of the building smoothly. These different drawings were important in working through things such as the overall grid and the structure, the way light would move around the building and the way the building worked with the waterfront.

A Health and Wellness Center
This project was to design a sanitarium or wellness center for battered women and their families. The location was in downtown Fort Worth, Texas where climate, privacy and Texas culture were big factors in design choices.

Trinity Lutheran Church Community
Trinity Walk East View
Trinity Lutheran Church Community Premise This project focused on the Trinity Lutheran Church in Berrien Springs, MI. They want to utilize the open land on their property to create a more urban community for their members. They also want to create an environment that allows them to minister to any other community residents that end up living or working there. In our group we specifically designed row houses for families, cottages for the elderly and a walk in between to incorporate the new development to existing developments on neighboring properties.

BIM Intro Class Law Office
Law Office This law office was a technical skills project for a class using Revit, it is a complete model of the building, from the foundation plans and floor plans to the structure and HVAC. This project, while not created by me, taught the technical and design skills necessary to use the program in a helpful way wherever my architectural skills are used. First Floor
