SALT LAKE CITY SPIN SPACE
SEPTEMBER 2019
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH TEAM BETTER BLOCK
As a unique partnership project with Spin, a scooter-share program that is part of the Ford company, Bike Utah, and the Salt Lake City Transportation Planning Department, I had a unique opportunity to completely redesign a wide intersection just outside of downtown Salt Lake as part of Team Better Block. As head designer, I was tasked with devising a color scheme and patterns that would be loved by the community, ensuring our design adhered to national transportation design standards, and developing a step-by-step phasing plan that would allow us to, along with a paint striping crew and a group of community volunteers, transform an intersection in just a few days. What came from this plan was a much more approachable intersection for both pedestrians and small mobility vehicle users (a 58% reduction in crossing distance), a more safe and sightly streetscape for the neighborhood, and a unique partnership of organizations working to make streets better places for all people.

FITCHBURG ARTS AND CULTURE STRATEGY
JANUARY 2019
FITCHBURG, MASSACHUSETTS TEAM BETTER BLOCK
Fitchburg, Massachusetts, a midsize town just outside of Boston, is ready for an arts and culture revolution, and together with Team Better Block is developing an action plan to bring new energy to its downtown. With my role at Team Better Block, the consultant for the project, I have assisted in developing short- and long-term strategies to bolster the local arts scene, developed graphic concept plans and renderings (displayed on the following pages) to convey these ideas, and written policy recommendations to enable more cultural investment in the downtown area. Additionally, I have traveled to the community to gather public input, meet with community organizations, and host talks and demonstrations on how to better utilize streets and public spaces. By utilizing these recommendations and demonstrations, we believe Fitchburg will be able to reach its full potential as a true arts and culture hub.

THE CASE FOR CAR-FREE COMMUNITIES
2019
AMES, IOWA
INDEPENDENT WORK With my interest in design and planning, especially in the transportation realm, my initial excitement about designing streets centered around bike lanes. But throughout my studies, I began to question whether that was enough. Why not completely transform urban streets to become car free, and thus, safe for everyone? I was able to explore this question as part of an independent study + Iowa State honors thesis, creating a small-scale manual for designing streets without the presence of cars. I explored the many benefits, the developing technologies that will further promote this concept, cities that are already trying it, and many other relevant topics. In addition to the writing, I created a book layout, supporting graphics, and through grant funding through the Iowa State University Honors program, was able to print the book to share with staff and students as a design resource.

DOCUMENTATION COURSEWORK To gain expertise in the layout and design of construction documents, the course professor had us develop a set of CDs for the front of the Iowa State Memorial Union. Since this was a space each of us was familiar with, we first developed a set of documents showing the existing conditions. We were then able to manipulate the space to make it a space we think would be wellsuited for students, and created a coordinating set of CDs in plan and detail and renderings to demonstrate our vision for the space.

BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE GRAPHICS
2018
ANKENY, IOWA
SNYDER & ASSOCIATES Different varieties of bike facilities can be difficult to visualize, especially when many are so similar in dimension, appearance, and name. While interning at Snyder & Associates, a planning and engineering firm, I developed graphics to help easily convey these different facilities. Section elevations help show how the street space is allocated, while the large “biketopia� graphic, shows how all of the facilities can work together. This graphic was made as an educational tool, a marketing piece for conferences, and as a representation of all of the different bike facilities Snyder & Associates could offer their clients.

CONNECTING JEFFERSON: BIKE + PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN Comprehensive Network Plan
2017 / 2018
JEFFERSON, IOWA
PLANNING INDEPENDENT STUDY During fall of 2017, I had the unique opportunity to work oneon-one with my professor, Tom Neppl, to develop a bike and pedestrian master plan for the town of Jefferson, Iowa (pop. 4200) in partnership with the Jefferson Park and Recreation Dept., The National Park Service Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program, and Iowa State University. The original scope of the project was to better connect the parks and schools in Jefferson via walking and biking facilities. But as the community got involved and I began to develop my individual topic goal for the project as an independent study course, a comprehensive network plan to connect the whole community emerged. This plan was presented in front of the Jefferson City Council, and is still being explored as a way to better connect Jefferson.

PERRY TRANSPORTATION HUBS
2017
PERRY, IOWA
URBAN DESIGN COURSEWORK Perry, Iowa has seen a recent boom in the growth of their youth and Latino population, creating the need for some infrastructural changes to make transportation accommodating to all. Currently, there are many physical assets spread far and wide throughout town, and social assets, creating the opportunity to connect people from all walks of life. As a studio project, I developed the concept of “connection hubs� and safer bike and pedestrian routes across Perry to create spaces for neighborhoods to come together for education, social connection, and community collaboration. These would serve as a launch point for bike rides, communityorganized transit routes, and new relationships among community members, making Perry a well-connected and inclusive community.

THE 24%: FEMALE CYCLIST PORTRAIT SERIES
2017
AMES, IOWA
IOWA STATE GRANT PROJECT According to the League of American Bicyclists, in 2009, women made up only 24 percent of all bike trips completed annually. As a woman who is part of that statistic, I recognize it nearly every time I’m with my bike, whether I’m on a group ride as only one of two women in the pack of 15, or I’m treated differently at a bike shop. Who are the other members of this 24%, and why do they ride? I was awarded a “Focus Grant” at Iowa State to bring an idea or exploration to life through visual representation, and opted to focus my project on women who bike. Through over 40 portraits/ interviews, I aimed to demonstrate to other women who might currently not feel comfortable on a bike, that if these women are out there biking, they can be too. By shining a light on some of the issues women encounter while biking, society can gain a better understanding for how to break the barriers to increase that 24%. 12 portraits have been displayed in the Iowa State University Memorial Union, College of Design, and several Iowa coffee shops.
