REI FLAGSHIP RETAIL \\ INDIVIDUAL \\ 2014
Objective \\ Presented with challenging design questions around the creation of a new REI Flagship store in the Washington D.C. market with a new experience for their current customer base while trying to attract active outdoor millennials. The location is downtown in a historically significant building. Questions that surround the project include: “how do we engage and activate the community through our store?” and “what design elements can be specific to this Washington D.C. flagship?” The scope of this project includes 50,000 square feet, 75% for sales, and 25% back of house. Further Exploration \\ Researching the REI brand and their mission statement informed and allowed me to create a purposeful design concept. By extending their brand to include reflection and the mission statement goals of education and inspiration, I have accommodated for the variety of shopping types that exist, with a compelling D.C. flare.

LIVE BLUE RETAIL \\ HELIX \\ 2013
Objective \\ Live Blue is designed to bring healthy living initiatives into a one-of-a-kind retail experience. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City wanted to separate themselves from other health insurance companies by creating an experience for its members as a place not to sell insurance but to promote the brand and to learn and experience healthy living. The space accommodates fitness, nutrition, and classes in a comfortable environment, similar to one’s living room. The branded environment communicates the brand and mission, while accommodating maximum flexibility. Further Exploration \\ Helped in creating various floorplans and selecting materials, as well as researching and retrieving pricing on furniture and creating the project’s furniture specification books.

WORKPLACE OF THE FUTURE COMPETITION
HONORABLE MENTION
Objective \\ Given the design challenge presented by Metropolis Magazine’s Workplace of the Future Competition, research was conducted to explore options of how we might work in 2020 and what the workplace will become. Further Exploration \\ Throughout this competition, our group largely focused on the fact that mobile workers are on the rise. With technology making travel more seamless for workers, we realized that travel time is currently unproductive. NEXUS, the business locomotive, proposes to change the way business travels. The two level train car accommodates for introverts, extroverts, collaboration, and personal work spaces. Healthy food choices at the cafe are provided and walking is promoted as one of the many luxuries provided by train travel.

AAMI PROPOSAL CORPORATE \\ LAUCKGROUP \\ 2014
Objective \\ Create a concept for proposal for a well-known high tech company’s new expansion office, with a focus on nature and the community in which it will be located. Further Exploration \\ Lauckgroup was prepositioned to partake in this proposal that had a week turnaround time limit. I helped in developing a concept statement; “Creating sensory moments: through principles found in nature”. Research and images were collected to support the nature and locality aspects of the concept. I collaborated on diagramming the entry sequence which resembles the funneling and growth like that of a flower. I also built a SketchUp model for conceptual spatial views and putting together the final presentation. Programs \\ SketchUp, Photoshop, InDesign, Sketching

LUXURY LOBBY HOSPITALITY \\ PARTNER \\ 2014
Objective \\ Create programming and design concept for the central lobby space on the top floor of the Monte Carlo Hotel in Las Vegas for the high roller suites. Further Exploration \\ Looking to Monaco for inspiration, we discovered the three industries that Monaco is best known for include the chocolate, brewery, and flour mill industries. We used the concept of “industrie” to then programatically layout the lobby and to help determine the functions of each space. Using Monte Carlo’s phrase “unprestigious luxury” we defined both a male and female user fitting such description. We believe our users have a lot of money but don’t take themselves too seriously, ultimately enjoying the finer things in life. Our space offers a high end retail experience for these users where they can purchase imported beer, pastries, and artisan chocolates that are from Monaco.

VEGAS SUITE HOSPITALITY \\ INDIVIDUAL \\ 2014
Objective \\ Design and program a luxurious five bay high roller hotel suite for the top floor, Hotel 32, of the Monte Carlo Hotel in Las Vegas. How might the hotel room transform for each user group without added work for the hotel? Further Exploration \\ Looking to the idea of a personalized experience which high rollers have come to expect, the blank canvas that was my sketchbook inspired me to create a blank suite that could be customized to the user’s preferences. During the programming phase I worked to include various user types, as per a more realistic scenerio for hotels. My suite caters a customized space: where you are the muse and we (the hotel) are your artists. Creating a strong sequence of rooms with powerful architectural moves at the threshold of each transition, I have allowed the user to adjust these elements. In solving the challenge of how to customize the space to each users preference, I created a website through which a user would book their room based on a pictorial quiz. Most room changes occur with color changing lighting and paint. Programs \\ AutoCAD, Rhino, V-Ray, Photoshop, InDesign

HILTON AUSTIN HOSPITALITY \ FOOD + BEVERAGE \\ EDG \\ 2015
Objective \\ Creating a dynamic food + beverage (f+b) presence in an entertainment and culinary destination. The planning, concepting, and design goals are intended to drive revenue by attracting more group events and local patrons while providing operational flexibilty within the f+b programs. Redesign of the Hilton Austin f+b experience included developing five intertwining concepts for the lobby, local coffeehouse + marketplace, dynamic all-day experience, destination casual bar-centric dining, and boutique event venues. Further Exploration \\ Pulling from the local Austin culture, we used cues from the city such as the “Live Music Capital of the World”, their local motto “Keep Austin Weird” and pulling inspiration from their local landmarks and beautiful nature reserves. The lobby, named Lady Bird Living Room, was created to look like an Austin streetscape with the check-in desks taking the form of limestone like that found in the local Pedernales Falls State Park. The loft bar where the all-day dining experience lives provides everything from breakfast and a juice bar, to cocktails and small plates, the venue fills the needs of hotel guests by providing a variety of seating areas, including a biergarten, community table, culinary station, and lounge seating. Programs\\ Hand Sketches, SketchUp, Photoshop, and Spexx.

HOST LOUISVILLE FOOD + BEVERAGE \\ CHUTE GERDEMAN \\ 2015
Objective \\ In the Louisville Airport RFP, there was a requirement of designing and concepting out ten food areas within the airport, some were pre-gate check, others were concourse based. Among the ten areas of interest, there were two grab n’ go kiosks, an artisan pizza restaurant, an ice cream parlor, a few fast food chain in-lines, and two newly conceptualized bourbon experience sit-down tasting restaurants. Further Exploration \\ Having worked on all the food areas apart from the fast food chain brands, I contributed on floorplan, concept, 3D model and design development. The most exciting of the six areas I was heavily involved with were the Book + Bourbon Southern Kitchen and Bourbon Academy Tasting Room spaces. There were no precedents for the brands and each provided a variety of seating options that allowed for creative space planning. Additionally, with the play on bourbon, and favor for the theatrical by our client, the use of bourbon labels, barrels and reclaimed wood found a variety of uses within the space. After completition of each design, I contributed in material specifications, and compiling the final RFP documents with the graphics team. Programs\\ Hand Sketching, Revit, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.

HOST VANCOUVER FOOD + BEVERAGE \\ CHUTE GERDEMAN \\ 2015
Objective \\ Provided with the brand standards for Delice Maison - Bakery + Cafe, The Chopped Leaf, and new restaurant concept No.99 Wayne Gretzky’s Wine + Whiskey , develop these brands into the provided spaces at the Vancouver Airport. Further Exploration \\ Having only preliminary brand concept imagery for the Wayne Gretzky’s Restaurant, I first approached the floorplan in Revit to assign materiality and locate soffit and lighting placement. After selecting views, I worked on a series of preliminary hand sketches to work out details of the booths, lighting, and wine walls. The adjacent space, Delice Maison, had the same series of steps, although there was more play in this space for graphics placement and interpretation of the brand. I was given the opportunity to then render the perspective before moving on to the Chopped Leaf in-line that was located in the Vancouver airport food court. This in-line had very loose brand standards that merely suggested materiality, and this allowed me to give the brand a fresh new presence and locate the graphics accordingly. Programs\\ Hand Sketching, Revit, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.

PICKWICK PLAZA RENOVATION \\ HELIX \\ 2013
Objective \\ Rejuvenate the Historic Pickwick Plaza Hotel, built in the 1930’s, was once a signature landmark of downtown Kansas City. Pickwick was designed as a true mixed-use facility combining transit, retail, hotel, and office uses in one taking up three-fourths of a city block. Today, the building is being renovated to offer market rate apartments. Further Exploration \\ Creating over 250 units, tenant amenities on ground floor and mezzanine levels include hospitality rooms, street level retail shopping, laundry, and pool + fitness facilities. While the majority of the project is considered a historic preservation project, great care has been taken to restore the old hotel lobby to its former glory. I assisted with the Revit model, created finish floorplans, and picked up redlines to meet the DD/CD set deadlines. I worked directly with the head designer on this project selecting flooring and wall finishes. I also created renderings of a few of these spaces and participated in client meetings. Programs \\ Revit, Revit Cloud, and Photoshop.

HOW MIGHT WE CREATE AWARENESS THROUGH DESIGN THAT ENABLES SELF-RELIANCE FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED?
DESIGN WITH THE BLIND IN MIND SENIOR CAPSTONE PRELIMINARY STUDIES \\ HUMAN RIGHTS \\ INDIVIDUAL \\ IN PROGRESS
Design with the Blind in Mind is a social equality initiative to discover how we might create awareness through design that enables self-reliance for the visually impaired. According to the United States Census Bureau, 285 million people in the world are visually impaired. An additional 39 million are blind; 14 million live in the United States. This significant number of individuals is continuously growing; as baby boomers grow older, so does our aging society. People over the age of 50 account for 65% of the visually impaired population and 82% of the blind population. While studying the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) Design Standards and Universal Design, I found there were minimal practices in place that accommodate for the blind and visually impaired and realized the potential to better these standards. In today’s society, the blind population within the U.S. is ignored and marginalized. As interior designers, it is our responsibility to design spaces for social equality, without discrimination, to create enriched experiences. Through research, by better understanding and defining the limits of the visually impaired and their needs, I have formulated a mode of design appropriate to reconcile shortcomings in the industry. I have outlined a number of key concept principles that promote change, including high contrast environments, light, color, touch, warmth, sound, and minimizing glare. These allow us to heighten and better stimulate the remaining senses, while providing a space less strenuous on the eyes that can be navigated despite the absence of sight. Ultimately, through this project I will create scalable solutions to this national problem. Given the nature of this project, I found it best to implement these key principles in the form of a case study. By using the interior corridor of a mall to demonstrate the issue of enabling awareness and self-reliance for the visually impaired, it will allow a basis for designing elements that are used in a variety of project types. Kenwood Towne Center in Cincinnati, Ohio is ideal for this case study, as the location is readily available for collecting data and observation. To document the process of design and display how the critical instances can change a space, I began by documenting the space as it exists. I then reevaluated the space, implementing high contrast materials, lighting, and color to show how a space transforms while maintaining the same layout. The last step was to rethink the space, showing how these key principles might be interpreted in a new ideal scenario, providing more effective stair and ramp configurations and showing a better aesthetic. This project is important because of the implications current standards have on basic human rights. It is a matter of equality, working to eliminate discrimination against the blind and visually impaired. Part of our responsibility as designers is to develop solutions that are functional, enhance the quality of life and culture of the occupants, and are aesthetically attractive. We must protect and enhance the health, life safety, and welfare of the public. I believe my findings and proposal for these accommodations are an effective solution to a problem that needs solving.
