“A physical and experiential entrance into the park...”A Welcome Center and Park Office that emphasizes the historical importance of the park while providing a workspace for employees, indoor public restrooms, and an educational facility for the community and visitors.

In the beginning, three main concepts were developed: Object in a Field, Gateway, and Filter. The Park Board decided on the Filter scheme and many iterations were explored to eventually resolve all design issues with thoughtful solutions.

Originally, we were given the auxiliary parking lot adjacent to the park for the location of the project. The site and park reside within much of the flood plain and flood way. Both geographical and programmatic factors became a large part of our design proposal; to accommodate a 5’ rise above base flood elevation and to preserve the parking lot for park visitors during peak hours.

The program consists of an offi ce for the Park Director, two restrooms for park visitors, a conference/multipurpose room, kitchenette, storage, and exterior side deck for mechanical equipment to disappear within the East facade. The handicap ramp is celebrated with the frames and screen wall providing an experiential approach in addition to function.

The sky bridge connecting the two points of the proposal is in line with the Tower of History. The design is meant to metephorically puncture the side wall and push out a framed view of the Tower of History on the other side, further rooting the viewer in their location and enhancing their experience. The design proposal reflects an extended study of thresholds, metaphorical as well as real, at a variety of scales while also addressing needs of travelers and adding another area of interest for residents.

“...an extended study of thresholds.”The illustrated work describes a proposal for a U.S. Border Crossing Station at the U.S.-Canada border in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The footprint of the building was developed from the layout of the locks along the St. Mary’s River. After a series of studies I was able to identify the proposed buildings and their design more clearly; suggesting a similar pattern for their layout.

UNDERlYING oRDER

WORKING MODEL + WATERCOLOR

This project was an ongoing expression of the site we were given in a local park near the Cajun Dome in Lafayette, LA for a multifamily and commercial facility. The scope of the project was to gain a clear understanding about continual surfaces and to create a model, neither finished, nor under accomplished. This project also served as an introduction to post and beams, and screens and panels. The watercolor process pieces are overlaid with ink to speculate abstract areas of space that I later refined through the design process.

“...a device that simply enhances a phenomenon.”

This project was centered around natural phenomenons that occur either continuously or when certain conditions allow. Our duty was to investigate Girard Park and find a phenomenon that a built device could simply enhance. My site analysis focused on the bank of the pond that was eroding. Small caves/tunnels were being carved into the land by the water, however they were not visible unless peering over the edge. My design became a series of wood pallets with varying slits that would illuminate paths on the water to allure attention to the caves. I was careful in my design, making it more of an indirect reveal therefore not jeopardizing the integrity of the caves.

“...creatively suspend...”The purpose of this project was to find an object and creatively suspend it within a window frame in the design building. The materials I chose to hang my glass bowl were rope, binder clips and rings, and copper tubing. This project preceded the Dress project, in which we were instructed to use the same materials and methods from this project to make an article of clothing.

“...a system of clothing”The Dress project immediately followed the Window project previously shown. We were instructed to use the materials and design methods from our suspended window object to create a system of clothing for our annual design fashion show. Being that nylon cord was the leading material for the previous project, I used it for the bulk of my dress. I hand wove the entire garment using an alternative weaving concept from my last assignment. I added paper for material change and break up of color, which was also made pliable by sewing copper wire to the face of each piece.

“...a meandering essence with an open canopy structure...”During the first year of design in college we were introduced to the idea of creating gestures before beginning any project. Gestures were a way of creating with instinct without plan or projection for a finalized idea. The process work shown are paper gestures that were the original thought behind this memorial which eventually evolved throughout the design process.

The memorial project was my first experience in designing anything that resembled architecture. The definition of what type of memorial this project would represent was left to our choosing, therefore my intentions for the final model were to recreate a meandering essence with an open canopy structure. My vision for the memorial was for it to be placed within a park where people can go to be still and reflect.

FINAl MoDEl | EllA FITZGERAlDThis project is a long standing tradition within the design program at University of Louisiana Lafayette and every year the totem project changes. This year we were assigned a famous Jazz musician for whom we should tell a story for through our totem pole and I was given Ella Fitzgerald. My totem pole represents the moment she became noticed for her extraordinary talent. She was going to dance for a performance contest, but in the last moment due to stage fright, she chose to sing.

The straight boards represent the path she was on until breaking through a moment of fear and she spun off into something much greater than she planned for.

This collage was the first design project of my college career. We were given the phrase “We the People”, from the U.S. Constitution and were asked to portray these three words graphically.

The photographs selected are simple images I believe to hold great beauty. While I have never taken any professional photography courses, I have always enjoyed capturing nature’s landscapes and the built environment around me.

J E W E L R YJewelry making is something I take pleasure in during my off time. The pieces I make are usually earrings and necklaces and on occasion, rings and bracelets. The necklace pictured is made of gold leather cord, metal findings, and glass beads.

The ear cuffs pictured on the right are small pieces I made, all original design, and successfully sold to many customers. They are designed to be unique, have small pops of color, and to be enjoyed by everyone due to the fact there is no piercing required. 22

An inspired table made of mahogany and iron. The table top and wooden leg are made of 1” strips of wood bonded together to add visual interest. The iron used was welded together and the joinery is a classic mortis and tenin attaching the table top to each leg. The three pieces are easily detachable, making transportation an easy thought.
