I would like to extend to you my sincere appreciation for taking the time to look through my design
portfolio.
I consider hand graphics to have certain, inimitable qualities about them that digital renderings fail to
capture. I seem to find myself picking up a pencil and marker more often than not, and for this
reason, much of the work on the subsequent pages were produced, for the most part, by hand.
These projects were all completed in the final four semesters of my education at Washington State
University. While most are of my own individual labor, one slide displays group work in which each
team member fulfilled a vital role in the successful completion of the project. This project has been
clearly identified.
Again, I would like to say “Thank You” for the time you spend browsing my work. If you have
questions on any of the projects, I would be more than happy to provide necessary clarification.
Please enjoy.
Diatrophe , from the Greek meaning “sustenance” or “food”, was a design project that explored ways to provide patrons
with a versatile dining environment. Pullman experiences yearly extreme temperatures and heavy snowfall; hence,
necessary project goals included an enclosed, outdoor dining pavilion and a semi-enclosed outdoor waiting area located
adjacent to the restaurant. Additional open-air seating for up to forty guests was provided to capitalize on eastern
Washington’s warm spring and summer seasons.

The Horticulture and Landscape Architecture Display Garden is a hands-on experience that provides design-build and
plant maintenance education to landscape architecture students. Each year, students of junior class standing participate in
a two-part, design-build course that teaches sustainable design and construction using recycled materials and drought
tolerant vegetation.
The above drawings were completed as an initial, individual project. All group work followed in the previous semester.

Group work on the Horticulture and Landscape Architecture Display Garden. This particular project was large scale,requiring more attention to detail, group communication, and client interaction.

Center-top is an early masterplan completed on trash.Team discussion followed, from which the final masterplan, shown in SketchUp 7 (bottom) was completed.

Program development for the Deschutes River Estuary restoration project in Olympia, WA. A proposed split-basin allows
for natural estuarine processes, while retaining the communal significance of Capitol Lake. The final design included a
causeway with viewing areas and a series of boardwalks along the western edge of the estuary.
Riparian plant material is entirely salt tolerant, and thrives along estuarine tidal flats. Species include Scirpus acutus,
Jaumea carnosa, and Distichlis spicata var. stricta.

Masterplan for a new 11-acre park along the western shore of Budd Inlet, just north of the proposed Deschutes
Estuary. Located on a vacant industrial property, this design was the answer to the communal disconnect that exists
between West Olympia and downtown. Masterplan designed in AutoCAD, rendered by hand, and superimposed
onto an aerial photo of the site using Adobe Photoshop. Far left are images of the existing industrial site.

These images are various graphic representations of conceptual thought that I developed through the design process.Some are illustrative explorations of specific projects that were meant to aid in the communication of a final designintent, while others are simplistic sketches that explore different methods of graphic demonstration.
Completed using one or multiple media types: drafting and colored pencil, AD Chartpak marker, technical pen, and/orAdobe Photoshop.

men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as
I have received and am still receiving.”
