Project 1project summary:This home was a beautiful Spanish style home near downtown Los Angeles. The owner wanted a moder, clean look, complete with a bbq and pergola. The results speak for themselves. I designed this site and was part of every step, including installation of the precast steps, pergola construction, and interaction with the client. He has contacted even after my intership was finished to ask for advice on maintanence. It was the most rewarding design I was part of.

0 1 DESI G N / B U I L D I N T E R N S H I P:My internship was in Los Angeles, California, working for a high-end residential company called the Cutting Edge. I was under the guidance of Matt Preuss, a Ball State BLA alum from 2002. While working with Matt, I benefited from a multitude of responsibilies including project and small business management, residential designing, and practical applications. The Cutting Edge specialized in the hardscaping and xeriscaping of Southern California’s drought stricken environments. This experience exposed me to the benefits of working with people on a one-to-one basis. I was able to see the satisfaction in every one of our clients.

project summary:This particular client wanted a backyard that would focus on the large oak, leaving a space for entertaining and relaxing.The existing conditions were harsh, with the yard in poor condition. Below are some images of the existing site

the results:This project became the face of the company website and drew rave reviews from the owner and every person that visited the home. This was the major inspiration with pursuing residential design.
Project 2
0 2: TEC H N I C A L D R A W I N G S
These technical drawings demonstrate my depth of understanding of the engineering aspects of design work using Autocad. This includes details, grading and drainage plans, and road profiles, among others.
selected perspectives using Sketchup and render tool the results:The project was, in fact, completed after the conclusion of my internship. The only image I have is the water feature, listed below. I was able to meet directly with the client without Matt’s presence. He loved the plans and I gave him a virtual tour of the model. Many of the elements were value engineered out, but the main features remained. The total cost was somewhere near $60,000 dollars.
The client preferred a more natural water feature, thus resulting in design below.

Southbank on the greenline was a new mixed-use neighborhood development project in Muncie, Indiana. The focus of this project was to create a commuter neighborhood based on LEED-Neighborhood Development guidelines. This project included a zip car program, bike and pedestrian access, stormwater treatment, and riverbank remediation.

site context:This project was located in a largely abandoned site spanning 24 acres of land in between the White River and a railroad track. Westside Park, to the North, was an important historic landmark in Muncie in the early 20th century for its circuses and carnivals. This history, along with ideal site location, offers Muncie an opportunity to improve its image as a modern city. concept development:The primary focus of the project is to promote pedestrian, bicycle, and rail access to and from the site. The main concept reflects this focus, with the access points for pedestrians (green) and rail station (red) being the framwork for the design.
perspective:This image depicts the relationship of the site with the river. A suspension bridge spanned the White River in the early 20th century, which was replicated here with a modern footbridge. The riverbank was replanted with native forbs and graminoids to repair the damage caused by erosion and invasive plant species. The river now is accessible through two boat ramps at either end of the site.
the neighborhood:Southbank on the Greenline is urban, with alternative modes of transportation at the heart of the design. It is strategically located on the proposed Greenline rail system, which would connect Muncie to Indianapolis. It is also located on the White River Greenway, a popular trail for local residents. With this in mind, these are the goals for the community:
the goals:- connect the site with the White River Greenway
- repair the riverbank using native plants and trees
- reconnect the surrounding area, including Westside Park, the shopping area to the Northwest, and the neighborhood to the South
- Provide a strong central commercial area to attract visitors, while providing food, recreation, and activity to its residents
- Recycle materials from the existing site, including large amounts of asphalt and concrete
- Become the gateway to Muncie from Indianapolis and elsewhere through an image of modern green design
- Create three unique places; a BSU satellite facility, an ecolodge for a better lodging experience, and rebuild a Muncie landmark in Bruners Restaurant.

White River bridge and ‘Ellipse’ section A
parking structure water treatment section B
parking structure sectionStormwater is a problem in Muncie, as it is in most Midwestern cities. Drains are located along the top of the parking structure, allowing water to trickle in and irrigate green walls separating parking spaces. These openings also provide a source of natural sunlight, reducing energy use.
river section:The White River is often overlooked in Muncie. This design aims to promote activity along and within the river. The ellipse is the center of public activity, where it connects with the river and across the river to Westside Park. The river is physically accessible via steps under the bridge and boat ramps, as well as visually accessible from two observation decks.
principles:These diagrams show the important elements that were the primary forces behind the design.
Topography: The site is set on a 35-foot bluff (orange and red) along the river. Two extensions of the riverbank, into the site, bring variety to an otherwise flat site.
Stormwater runoff: The extensions also offer chances to slow down and treat stormwater before it enters the river.

Planting design is an area that I enjoy and have a desire to continue refining. This section is an example from planting design class,

the project:Ball State created a memorial to honor the Ball brothers and their beneficencent contributions to Muncie and the university. This memorial is centered around “Benny,” a winged statue surrounded by a shrub and tree-lined promenade. Our task was to redesign this formal space.
