Before Before
design-build-eatOmaha, NebraskaFreelance Design 2009-2011
This freelance residential kitchen remodel was designed for a 1980s contemporary home in Omaha, Nebraska. The design and construction work was done in collaboration with the owner who built and installed all cabinetry as well as a contractor who assisted in structural changes. Because of this collaboration, this design-build continues to be an essential learning experience.

saint croix central elementaryRoberts, Wisconsin2015
This project includes the addition of an auxiliary gym, a community lobby space, 7 classrooms, and 5 breakout spaces. The goal of this project was to maintain the original character of the building on the exterior and provide a fun, colorful environment on the interior. The interior lobby space breathes in school spirit to a previously bland space through the use of color, materiality, and lighting.
Breakout spaces take form throughout the building by using pops of color to delineate space while still blending with the existing building. Each breakout area is coded with different colors to create ownership by each grade who will use the space.
pelican rapids school renovationPelican Rapids, Minnesota2014
This project includes an addition and renovation the middle school-high school in Pelican Rapids, Minnesota. The existing school building was built in 1929 with many additions through the decades.
Work for this project includes the addition of a 1600 seat gymnasium, addition of a 500 seat auditorium, and renovation and expansion of administration offices, kitchen, and commons space.
The design concept was drawn from the iconic mid-century aesthetic already inherant in the building. Design guidelines involved streamlining circulation through the building, enhancing wayfinding through color and thresholds, and creating beacon spaces for community use.
My role in the project included lead interior design concept, collaboration with exterior design concept, assistance in programmatic design and construction documents.
exchanging placeOmaha and Fremont, NebraskaMasters Final Project Spring 2013
This project explores how architecture can strengthen the relationship between two places with contrasting contexts. The relationship is explored through an architectural exchange of an urban restaurant in an abandoned 1897 mercantile building near downtown Omaha, Nebraska and a rural event space and farm sited in a vacant 1928 dairy barn.
By using scale to relate each building to one another, the plan of each building is imprinted onto the other to help determine new spatial relationships. Significant materials from each building are transplanted onto the other, taking on new meanings with the new context. For example, perforated bricks used for ventilation at the barn are now used in the restaurant to create visual transparencies.
These strategies are meant to slightly defamiliarize the inhabitant. It is intended that a visitor to the urban restaurant will gain a slight rural feeling while located in the city and visitors to the event barn will gain a slight urban feeling while located in the country.

A team of 14 students worked from schematic design through the construction documents for two Habitat for Humanity homes in Minnesota. The design for Princeton was the first zero-energy design for Habitat for Humanity Minnesota and was built in the summer of 2011. It will be used as a zero-energy case study for Habitat for Humanity throughout the United States.
Though most work was highly collaborative, my role involved interior design and renderings used in presentations to Habitat for Humanity and home owners. I also managed the coordination and printing of a construction document set which all students contributed to. The construction document set as well as half-scale and full-scale models were used to communicate construction intentions to Habitat for Humanity staff and volunteers.

In efforts to explore and enhance and extend the vibrant street life of downtown Minneapolis, this alternative urban housing design uses layers of transparency to conceal, reveal, and blur interior activity.
The mixed-use building offers shopping, entertainment and dining areas on the lower levels which weave the life of the street up into higher level housing. The residential tower includes four types of units, each offering a flexible sleeping space for guests. The diagram to the right illustrates 11 of these units which stack into 5 floors repeated vertically.

Site Study Sketch
The following semester further developed the design concept, materiality, structure and detailing of the previous project. The concept of concealing, revealing, and blurring interior activity was developed through material selections and applications. Concrete, slatted wood, perforated metal screens, and channel glass are layered in various ways to provide sensory connections on each side of the building envelope. These sensory connections include the use of light, shadow, view and the exposure of interior activity to create visual relationships between those inside the building and those outside the building.

My interest in architecture and design began with an interest in art. While this began years ago by learning techniques, it has developed to a fascination of learning about my surroundings through two-dimensional representation. I have explored a variety of media in the past, however, most recently I have used watercolor and sketching as a tool to understand and represent architecture and landscapes I visit.
