Seven Walls Project This project involved exploring space and movement within a defined space. Within a fifty foot long wide by one-hundred foot space, we were to insert seven different walls that created four different spaces, as well as explore the sequence
Elevation East
Plan 1st Floor
Each space in this project was related to a progression within a story representing Cincinnati. My story related to the rise and fall in popularity of the Jerry Springer show.

The first space, the point of entry, represents the beginning of the show’s career The second space, the amphitheater like area, represents the wide popularity it soon received and the large number of audience members
2
The third space, at the top of the triangular pyramid, represents the height of the show’s popularity and its strangeness, as the seats are now arranged in an atypical formation The final space, under the other spaces, represents the decline in popularity as the show became too strange and uncivil for most audience members. The sharp decline is represented by a fireman’s pole, which is the only way down from the top to basement floors.

In essence, the sharp rise in popularity contributes to a precarious perched position that causes the show to rapidly go down the tubes in a display of depravity, unifying the host, the guests, and the audience.

The meanings behind the seven walls are both figurative and literal. The wall of Information moves the guests up the second flight of stairs. The wall of Landscape creates the figurative backdrop for a talk show, and the wall of Occupation provides the seating. The wall of boundary marks the change from a normal talk show to an unusual talk show

The wall of demarcation marks the transition from a populr to an unpopular show The wall of light represents the closed out feel that the show guests have from the audience and Springer himself The wall of storage represents the backstage area where the show guests are ‘stored’

Spacial Renderings Renderings of Sketch-up/Revit models from working at BHDP Columbus. All renderings are my own individual work, but some models were done by or partially done by other members of BHDP Staff. Appropriate credit given below all images.
Renderings for Mount Saint Joseph University located in Cincinnati, Ohio. BHDP’s task was to renovate the second floor of their administrative building to make it more space effecient. The Two renderings are the ideas for the new entry (left) and the hallway to the dean’s office/meeting room (down). I also assisted by creating the revit floor plan, dividing up the quare footage of the space, and modeling the building in sketchup. credit for renovation design goes to Mike Shulte.
Rendering for Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire (far left). BHDP was tasked to renovate and add additions to their old admissions building, which included the addidion of a campus bookstore. I designed, modeled and rendered the bookstore.
Rendering for Ohio Northern University in Ada, Ohio. BHDP’s task was to renovate their engineering building to be omre open and intuitive. The majority of the model was designed by Jiancarlo DelVita, while some model additions and the rendering were done myself.
A site map of Lycoming College in Williamsport Pennsylvania. BHDP was tasked with constructing a new admissions building in the center of campus (not shown by request of school). I was responsible for laying out the site map and helping the lead designer figure out how and where to place the new building, and what the most effective layout would be.
Other Proffesional Work Site models for projects while working at BHDP. These were made with other documentation such as revit files and CAD plans.
A site map Goshen College in Goshen, Indiana. They are liberal arts school who wanted us to do a campus survey so they could find out how to proceed architecturally and acedemically after a major loss of student enrollment. This enititled making a site plan they would use to quickly model how and where new buildings, renovations, and deconstructions would be placed throughout their campus.
A site map and model of Bethel College and their sciences building. BHDP was tasked with with renovating and adding an addition to the medical studies section of the building. I also created the full revit model, all constructoin documentation, and worked closely with the lead designer, architectural engineer, and Bethels representative to design the new space. Partial model credit goes to Giancarlo DelVita.

Dieterle Case Study A project in which a building on campus was explored via diagrams. After studying the building, an addition was made to the building to explore aesthetic necesity Section from East
The figurative additions made to the existing building were meant to emphasize a specific point about the building without taking away from the area as a whole. In my case, my addition, the three curved fins spanning the area, are meant to emphasize the grandiose feeling of the space. It adds to the feeling of compression in this space, which makes the release in the auditorium (the next room over) feel much grander in comparison. It also brings a curved structure into a very orthagonal area (with the exception of the circle in the middle) creating a big, but welcome, contrast to the rest of the space.

Wooden Folly A project requiring the design of an occupy-able folly within a 4’x4’x8’ space. The project explored teamwork and designing from scratch
In this project three colleagues and myself designed a four-foot by four-foot by eight-foot folly out of a limited supply of pinewood and MDF. We derived the final design from a preliminary design given to us by another group. The goal of the project was to explore large group teamwork, concept design and how to take someone else’s concept and finish it.

Fine Arts
Traditional Media
Personal Projects completed via traditional media, primarily pencil and acrylic paint
Acrylic on Canvas
Chalk on Black Paper
In highschool I took several fine arts classes, including a sketching class and two painting classes. The mountain painting was a final project in the second painting class, and the chalk drawing was a final in the sketching class. The knight, pencil on paper, was completed in free time for my own enjoyment.
Pencil on Sketch
Digital Media
Personal projects completed via digital media, primarily adobe photoshop and illustrator
Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop
Illustrator and Photoshop drawings have become a hobby of mine, especially fan-art and personal characters. Lots of my drawings are actually requests made by people on social media sites, primarily close friends. All of the images on this page were done completely in Adobe Illustrator.
