Concept
Provisions Provision: \pruh-vizh-uh n\ (n.) An arrangement or preparation beforehand, the act or process of providing, the quality or state of being primed or conditioned.
Every project has it’s own journey. To brainstorm, sketch, research, and refine are all necessary preparations to end up at a thoughtful solution. During my time as a student, I have learned and grown immensely from those around me. The interactions and lessons I’ve faced, encourage me to develop as a person and designer. I take in each of these experiences, and embrace them as my design provisions.
For Mom and Dad Thank you for your unfailing faith and endless support. I hope to make you both proud.

From Grain, to Glass Distilled from passion.
ABSTRACT
The process is simple: whole grain is brought to the distillery where it’s milled, mashed, fermented, distilled, and finally bottled entirely on-site. Husband and wife team, Ashby and Timo Marshall craft grain-to-glass spirits made from California-grown organic ingredients. Spirit Works is an artisan micro-distillery that handcrafts gin, vodka and whiskey. Dedicated to the “grain to glass” philosophy, each batch starts with whole grains, creating a distinctively superior taste. Spirit Works is committed to using locally sourced, organic products as often as possible, and only all-natural ingredients.

A Renewable You Humans + Technology.
ABSTRACT
3D bioprinting is the process of creating cell patterns in a confined space using 3D printing technologies, where cell function and viability are preserved within the printed construct. Generally, 3D bioprinting utilizes the layer-by-layer method to deposit materials known as bio inks create tissue-like structures that are later used in medical and tissue engineering fields. Bioprinting covers a broad range of materials. Currently, bioprinting can be used to print tissues and organs to help research drugs and pills. In addition, 3D bioprinting has begun to incorporate the printing of scaffolds, which can be used to regenerate joints and ligaments.

The Nature of a Place Offerings to define your space.
ABSTRACT
Chase McKenna bridges the gap of architechture and visual arts. A room filled with things can tell you a lot. A room with just a few things can tell you more. Each aspect – a chair, a texture, a light, is just as we intended it to be. To us, beauty is not only found in the appearance of something, but also in the way it works. Every aesthetic decision made, should be grounded by function, so that we can create a space for you to be in, live in, and work in.

Pressed Health The art of sustainability.
ABSTRACT
Organic, cold-pressed juices, with sustainability in mind. Nectar cares about our planet as much as our juices. Our priorities revolve around rethinking the ideas of traditional packaging, create a zero waste system, and challenge form and materials. When it came to packaging, Nectar challenged the plastic status quo. By taking a second look at the capabilities of materials, we landed on a design that is not only functional, but is collapsible, and earth friendly.

Thank You –
Mom, Dad and Nicole
As I grow older, I realize just how much you’ve all done for me. There are no words to express how grateful I am for the love, faith, and support in my education, and life. Most of all, thank you for showing me what true love is, and how it reaches beyond life’s trials and tribulations. Mom, thank you for being my number one fan. Your words of encouragement, and wisdom have shaped me into who I am today. The unwavering support and belief in me has taught me to be grateful, and to progress when times are tough. Although I wish Gma and Gpa could see me graduate, I find relief in knowing I would make them proud. Ganbatte! Dad, thank you for being the honest foundation in the family. I appreciate the knowledge and morals you set forth; and telling me exactly what I need to hear. You have sacrificed so much to provide me with many opportunities, and I am truly forever grateful. Nicole, although it is not said often enough, I feel so blessed to be your brother. The passion and spirit you display will always remind me what is truly important. Thank you for all that you’ve done for me.
Steph
Steph, this journey would not be complete without you. You are truly my better half, and I am so excited for what life has in store for us. Thank you for all that you do for me, and for keeping me grounded. You have been there for me through thick and thin, and I appreciate the love and patience throughout the semesters.
Family and Friends
The impacts you’ve all made; either small or large is cherished. To my family, thank you all for the countless memories and experiences. I am always reminded of my roots and the importance of spending time with those I love. To my friends, thank you all for keeping me sane while I was in school, and for showing me a good time outside of class. I’m blessed to have a second family, and people I can count on to have my back.
Instructors and Classmates
The knowledge and experiences I’ve gained while at AAU will lead me far into the future. I have left each class with the motivation to realize my own potential. Thank you for the guidance, the hard critiques, and the time you’ve all invested. I take an enormous amount of pride to have graduated from this program, and have you all to thank for making it what it is.
