About me I am a maker. I have been and always will be. Through creative exploration and problem solving my desire to bring abstract ideas to tangible form has grown into a healthy obsession. I have spent my life outdoors, gravitating toward the mountains, lakes, and coastlines that characterize the Pacific Northwest. I have explored this environment, which has been so pivotal in my own development, while surrounding myself with inspiring friends and collaborators. My experiences have motivated innovative design and have influenced me to pursue a career in an industry so full of these incredible people.

Spacial studies Spring 2013 - Five Week Exploration Form based space study developed into a high end restaurant
Abstract studies Beginning the project, six spacial studies were developed focusing on curvilinear and rectilinear form within a space. Drawing on dynamic directionality, this study hoped to capture energy and complexity through the use of only planes and lines. This space makes use of tension and creates dominant, subdominant and subordinate areas for the viewer to explore.
Brief and Refinement We then received the prompt to translate the abstract forms into a functional space. The form studies were to be refined, and used as inspiration for the spaces without losing the energy or dynamics of the original forms. Client: Twenty Five Lusk Restaurant. Theme: Research and recommend. Location: Downtown Seattle. Objective: Their current resaurant is an award winning design located in San Fransisco. They would like to open a second location in Seattle. Target Market: Professionals, age 30 to 50, couples out on a romantic date, upscale luch crowd. Requirements: Efficient use of space, not too crowded, impressive and elegant space. Contents: Entry area, chairs, tables, bar.
Restaurant research Twenty Five Lusk has a professional yet warm and welcoming atmosphere. Their San Fransisco design weaves a modern aesthetic through a historic brick timber warehouse originally built in 1977 as a meat packing and smokehouse facility. Twenty Five Lusk, located in San Fransisco’s SOMA district, is a modern restaurant and lounge featuring seasonally driven New American cuisine, a dynamic wine program, and expertly crafted cocktails.
Color pallet and inspiration A color pallet with a combination of warm and cold colors and hues was used to maintain the professional and welcoming atmosphere in the Seattle location that Twenty Five Lusk in San Fransisco has encompassed. Inspiration was harnessed from bentwood architecture, boat hulls and weathered material from Seattle’s harbors.
Construction of final model
construction of final model The space was created in a MDF box, 24” X 16” X 10”. One week was given to complete the model. It was made out of paper, a variety of woods, dark grey vinyl to simulate concrete floors, acrylic, tissue paper, LEDs and roughly two bottles of 2P10.

Model
Twenty Five Lusk + Seattle
final model This space is purposed to give the visitor an intimate experience. The pine bentwood wall is meant to give the visitor a larger than life feeling. Warm light coming from behind the wall clashes with the dark walnut, steel, cement and black furniture giving the visitor a welcoming but professional feel.
Shift shelf
year sophomore 2012 duration 3 weeks materials plywood from Mt. Baker Plywood, brass elbow braces and screws The shift shelf was made for Make.Shift art space in Bellingham, Washington. Make.Shift was in need of a storage solution to accommodate supplies in their kitchen. This shelf unit is carefully composed of four pieces of plywood. The legs are strategically angled to increase strength and durability, one is protruding out the top to create visual balance and a prop for books. The shelves are mirror images of one another, flipped and slightly shifted to create harmony. Keep what you want in sight and hide what you don’t.

WASHINGTONIANS COMMUTE VIA BICYCLE (That makes it the 8th highest state!)
100%
of the people interviewed in the bicycle commuter research said that they wore a backpack while commuting. The majority also complained about wearing their backpack.
This is Carl. Carl loves to commute to work but hates to wear a backpack while riding his bike. His backpack makes his back very hot and he is left with a backpack sweat silhouette. Carl’s problem is one faced by many!
Complaints Weight inside bag shifts and effects balance. Shoulder straps hurt shoulders and constrains movement. On upright bike, weight seems to pull you backwards. Backpack limits visibility when checking for cars. Backpack drenches back with sweat.
Problem Solve Carl’s problem. Find a solution for transporting belongings to and from your workplace without carrying a bag on your person while riding but still maintaining the ability to carry it from your bike into your workplace.
