The images on this page show some of the design

development work on the Bowling Green Baseball Stadium,

a minor league stadium in Kentucky. My job on this project

was to draw elevations in AutoCad and render the elevations

in Photoshop. I also helped design the back bar in the suite

area, drew the tile floor pattern in the entry lobby, and worked

on some basic construction drawings.

mer 2008

One of the projects I worked on while interning at

DLR Group was designing a floor pattern for Piper High

School located in Kansas City, Kansas. I carried this project

through the initial sketching and design development phase

to construction drawings. I also created a rendered floor

pattern plan to present to the clients. I enjoyed working on

this project because I was able to have creative freedom

and experience the process from beginning to end.

Green Week Recycling Center and Graphics

During DLR Group’s Green Week, employees were divided into

three teams, and each team was responsible for designing something

“green” that would benefit the company and its employees. My team de-

signed an in-house recycling center that was built from environmentally

friendly products. My task was to design and build conceptual models of

the recycling center in SketchUp.

As part of Green Week, DLR Group hosted a Green Week Open

House for clients and representatives in the area. I worked on a team

to develop the graphics on the invitations, posters, and flyers for this

event.

Stretch Children’s Hybrid Store

In designing this children’s hybrid store, I became much more

knowledgeable about designing a retail environment as well as learned a

great deal about building codes. This store is called a hybrid store because

it combines the selling of merchandise along with fi ve different activity areas

for children which include art, music, discovery, pretend, and cooking. After

several revisions, I decided on a fi nal concept for the store as well as the

store name, STRETCH. I chose this name because it refl ects the store’s

concept of being a fun place for kids to play while also “stretching” their

minds and imagination.

The criteria required for this project included creating a fi xture plan,

drawing elevations and perspectives, choosing materials and fi nishes, build-

ing a mass model, custom designing fl oor and wall fi xtures, and creating a

ceiling plan. This project was completed in three phases over the course of

one semester.

The Offi ce of University Relations at the University of Kansas

Fundamentals of Interior DesignSpring 2007 Sophomore Studio Project

The purpose of this project was to create an inspiring, creative

work environment while practicing sustainable design for the Offi ce of Uni-

versity Relations (OUR). The OUR is housed in an older building on cam-

pus and needed to be redesigned and refurbished to better accomodate

the offi ce’s needs and better project their image.

To begin this project, my partner and I interviewed the employees

of the OUR and made several visits to the offi ce to better understand the

needs and wants of the employees and the positive and negative attributes

of the building. After carefully analyzing the information we obtained, we

began blocking the different departments of the OUR to meet adjacency

requirements and departmental needs. Once the locations of the depart-

ments were fi nalized, my partner and I began choosing sustainable fi x-

tures, furniture, and fi nishes. In-depth research and practical knowledge

of systems furniture was a key component of this project.

Drawings of The Old Westbury House by Richard Meier

The fi ve drawings on this page were submitted as a fi nal project

for my Visual Presentation class. The assignment was to represent with

drawings a house designed by Richard Meier. Meier designs his houses

to be “white boxes” and avoids using warm colors, textured surfaces,

and natural materials. As part of the assignment, I had to add color and

texture to my drawings to create a more comforting interior environment.

I had to use the techniques I learned throughout the semester-long class

and refi ne my drawing skills to create these fi nal drawings.

Wood Stool Design

Materials WorkshopSpring 2007 Sophomore Studio Project

The guidelines for this assignment were very simple: to create

a stool from wood and/or metal. The criteria or components that made

a stool was decided by each student. The overall objective of the pro-

ject was to create something different than the stereotypical commeri-

cal stool that utilized different joint techniques. The stool I created was

inspired by architecture and simple geometric shapes. I incorporated

interesting negative spaces in the piece and added nice fi nishing details

such as a “fl oating” top and a joint connection that pierces through the

bottom shelf.
