as an interior design student at kent state university, i have had the opportunity to discover where my interests lie in the design industry. upon graduation, i hope to work in an architectural visualization role or a residential designer. a future goal of mine is to pursue a master’s degree of industrial design. this portfolio is a collection of my recent student works. thank you for taking a look.

the project’s focus was to create a piece of “inhabitable sculpture” which could be used as a private getaway. Situated atop a cliff, the abstract dwelling aims to accomodate basic programmatic needs such as eating, sleeping and dining while providing breathtaking views from every angle.

the focus of this project was to consider both how people move throughout a space and also what they see along their path of travel. the fi nal model was to be sculptural in nature and have several points of interest where people could arrive and recieve a unique experience.

the aim of the project was to analyze how people navigate different spaces within a building. after initial research, i built a model that featured a clear circulation path, which would take people from ground level up to the sky.

working off a completely blank fl oorplan made it imperative to depend heavily on space planning skills. inspired by the movement of the ocean, the design of this high-end seafod restaurant aims to be sleek and streamlined through a simple layout and elegant fi nishes.

working alongside the cleveland urban design collaborative, i had the task to redevelope a run down house in the st. clair superior area of cleveland. the goal of the project was to spark a rehabilitation of the entire area. the scope included re-designing the main fl oor and creating a second fl oor loft space. in addition, i created a second bedroom so the house could support a small family.

the goal of this project was to develop a space which would be utilized by automotive collectors as a showcase for their collection. the space is intended to be used only for an event space and not as as residence. my design is aimed toward an older generation of collectors and incorperates many themes and motifs of the atomic age in the 1950’s.

using the twa terminal cafe as my inspiration, i created a wall which combines four functions into a single design. these functions include stairs, a bar, lighting and storage. a fi nal model was developed by laser cutting a 3d model created in rhino.

with an architecture inspired by the googie movement of the 1950’s, the design provides a unique buying experience which keeps the customer coming back time and time again. an open service area at the entry allows customers to easily see all their purchasing options. lounge and work areas provide space for customers to relax and be productive while waiting when the store is busy.

with the goal of developing an offi ce space that encourages collaboration, I focused my efforts on connecting people and creating interactions within the offi ce environment. my design seeks to promote collaboration among workers by providing a close adjacency of support spaces to large open offi ce areas.

the large open offi ce area provides individual work areas which are divided into groups around a central hexagon. with collaboration tables at their centers, these clusters provide a seamless transition from individual to group work.

private offi ces placed at the western wall of the building provide quiet spaces where employees can easily focus on individual work. curtain walls featuringcustom fi lms allow daylight to stream in while also providing privacy at a seated level.
