ABOUTCurrently studying at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and pursuing a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree, with a minor in Real Property Development from Construction Management. With a back-ground in the fi ne arts, I strive to bring the ordinary to life in new and engaging ways.
Some say good design is invisible, but where is the fun in that? When everyone has the same tools, it’s up to the indi-vidual to manipulate and use them in a different way. Re-ality is meant to be bent, warped and constrained to fi t our fundamental needs and desires. I believe we mustre-imagine, re-intrepret and re-spond to the way individuals think in order for design to move forward.
Amused by the playful, the insightful, and the future; I fi nd myself to be a forward thinker.

Concentrating on the intri-cacies of form and qualities of light, I created a series of deeply rooted memoriesusing acrylic. This visual collection, is part of an ever expanding library of thoughts and moments that constantly stream through my mind. Miniature in scale, yet complexin emotion and personality this random assortment of images attempts to encapsu-late myself.

RETREATAn ESCAPE for Cal Poly
McKay 06
Project: Campus Enhancement 2014
Mission: Create a retreat for students and faculty, overlookingsouthern main campus; interweaving land and built forms.
Skills: One of my fi rst holistic landscape designs, this project was a process of evolution. Developing ideas form goals and objectives to diagrams and hand sketches. I ultimately created hand drafted grading plans and sections, to inform the construction of a 20 scale physical model; to reinstill the integration of land, built and plant form.

REVISE, ENHANCE & RE-CREATECAD and Digital Media CommunicationLA 431-01 | Beverly Bass
Planting Design: AutoCAD
Rendered Plan: AutoCAD + Photoshop
Grading Plan: AutoCAD
Utlizing my new skills with AutoCAD I took a look back at some of my earlier projects and found many sketches and concepts that could be further refi ned if only they were digitized. Therefore this project became a study of skills, techniques and use of a variety of different media to revise, enhance or re-create past work, for my portfolio.

Construction details are key to effectively communicating any design. Therefore, once I chose to zoom into the core of the site as my focus area, many large and unique elements had to be further enhanced with construction details. Using these as working drawings, the picture of the landscape comes greater to life through these autocad details, sections and elevations.

Create New public useable space for the community- Construct a public structure for utilities, restrooms and shade
- Supply suffi cient street and gathering spaces for high traffi c use
Connect pedestrian traffi c with adjacent San Diego Main Pub-lic Library and the city fabric
- Establish a distinct entrance for library users on East side of park
Enhance public safety- Properly light park for night time use
- Establish open space, to deter from theft and sense of closure - Design with accessibility in mind, ADA and emergency personnel accessible
Utilize ground and sky place for vantage points from adjacent high rises
- Extensive public art installation
Maintain outdoor public interest and promote community growth
- Highlight sustainability and self-suffi cient practices, as means of education -High effi ciency building, with grey water practice and management - Provide open space for public gatherings such as farmer markets and community events - Engage users with interactive element (ie. lights or water feature)
Pulsate: The “Artery” Park of East Village 8
Existing & Proposed DevelopmentParking & Recreation
Currently the site is surrounded by useable dead space found in the form of large concrete parking lots and little recreation zones. But with the implementation of new recreation centers such as a new downtown football stadium and 14th street park, the increase walk-ability and users to the area would be tremen-dous. In turn this removal of concrete parking lots would also diminish the strong Heat Island effect that currently is an issue for the area.
Housing & Mixed Use
Currently no bordering housing or mixed used space surrounds the site, but proposed development would change that. The ad-dition of Ballpark Village, a 37 story mixed use building south of the site would draw new users to the library and its adjacent sites. Proposed development of 320 apartments to the west of 13th St, would be a direct change in the amount of users the site would recieve once move in has begun.
Commercial & Industrial
To the west and north, scattered commercial and industrial sites currently are in operation. Places like the Mission as San Diego breakfast favorite, stands at the corner of J St and 13th. With new proposed construction, many of the existing industrial sites would be removed and replaced with mixed or single fam-ily housing. But with this new development, commercial sites would find more economic growth and a larger client base.

Utilizing the sites proximity to some of downtown San Diego’s largest attractions and newest residential editions, I structured the site with a strong cross axial circulation. Connecting residents with admendities and recreation, Pulsate would become a transitional space for the diverse demographics within East Village. While providing natural elements for relaxtion, such as open lawn and bio-swales for run-off collection, the site currently resides as a dead zone in downtown, informally being a place for homeless to congre-gate. Therefore, activating the space and as a throughfare would demote people to stay and lioter.

Interactive LightingConsisting of over 200 light posts and benches Pulsate’s greatest feature comes from the use of a linear zig-zag-ging light path that winds through the park. As a throbbing heart beat for the city fabric, the park becomes alive as the lighted path radiates out from the MTS trolley tracks that intersect the park. Being LED this lighting feature has the potential to be a variety of colors, and patterns. Such as blue for the when the Padres win a game and fan make there way home from the game a block away.

Section Detail
Plan ViewAs part of the interactive element within the design of Pulsate, the park includes 200 individual light posts, wired together to create a large scale art installation
Due to the zig zagging pattern of Pulsate’s large scale art piece, the lighting feature is not only seen in the form of a light post but also concrete prisms. Cen-tered in the middle of the site, these 3 by 2 ft prisms integrate the lighting into what could be used for a multi-tude of uses, the main one being comfortable seating over-looking the lawn.

ESCALATEA Memorial to the Evolution of Drawing
McKay 24
McKay 25
Project: MemorialLA 402 - David Watts - 2015
Creating a memorial in response to the article Death of Drawing by David Ross Scheer. I for saw the change from hand drawing to digital drafting as an evolution of process rather then something that has a beginning and end. Expanding off of this theory and into materials and forms I strived to create a transitional experience in a highly traversed area, known as Escalate.
As a way of capturing the rapidly expanding network of technology that is slowly consuming our lives and world of drawing; Escalate strips down the basics of drawing history into four distinct design elements.
Line + Shapes + Planes + Forms
Constructed on the facade of a brutalist concrete wall, Escalate addresses the sites context through the utilization of the grade change and journey the individuals to the site take. Using the theory of evolution, Escalate attempts to address every element of growth, as one builds on each other. From paint to wood, wood to stone, stone to metal, and metal to glass, the materials that make up the memorial address not only elements of design but the evolution of raw materials used in technology.

Reading the space, left to right like a book or time-line; one can see the visual transformation from line work to 3D forms emerging from the concrete wall, raising over their heads.

Design: Modular and kinetic, our wall was intended for various uses and platforms. As a sort of do it yourself kit, we envisioned our wall being sold and manufactured on the basis that the owner can change its functions and appearances for their uses.
Details: Together our team planned every detail out before construction commenced. From elevations, sections, plans and joinery details we created construction documents for every aspect.
Construction: Working side by side our team spent tideous time and effort hand crafting every element. Sanding, cutting, planing and staining we created a completely functional, and highly admired wall for the student showcase.

Project: Design Implementation2014 | Group Members: Nicholas Kong, Jolie Leung
Challenged to create an outdoor piece of furni-ture, our team decided to design and construct a 7 foot tall kinetic wall/garden screen. Constructed of wood, this massive joinery project needed to provide ease of movement between parts, therefore is comprised of 28 dovetail joints and one inch beams.
