DESIGN OBJECT IVE:The objective of this project was to design a retail store located in Jacksonville, Florida. Given the challenge of handling a small amount of square footage in a mall setting, the design was to attract clientele to new technology products, specifically phones and tablets. From conceptual development and schematic design, to specific construction details and planning, this project took on a full approach from beginning to end.
DESIGN CONCEPT:Through the unique application of form and shape, UP! captures the idea of accentuation and movement through a space. The name UP! focuses on the idea of the ever-changing technological world and the unlimited approach that technology provides to us on a daily basis. It captures the energetic personality of the store and reflects the overall positive user experience.
DESIGN SOLUT ION:By implementing a symmetrical approach, the design of UP! allows for an interactive experience. The whimsicle design of the flooring establishes boundaries set for the products and provides organization and means of progression towards the cash wrap. The strong use of accent colors combined with the clean and sleek white finishes provide a crisp design that supports the sale of the products. In addition, the custom design of each furniture fixture emphasizes the ‘arching’ form that is used to reflect the concept of growth.

One of the main components of this project was the development of the construction documentation related to the space. This consisted of: FF&E plans, lighting plans, ADA plans, construction plans, as well as custom casework/millwork drawings. Since each piece of furniture was custom designed, the communication of how these pieces were to be built and where they were to be placed was crucial. This process not only taught me the importance of clear and precise communication, but also the significance of defining minor design details.

HOSPITALITY
DESIGN OBJECT IVE:With a focus on Mediterranean influence, the objective of this project was to renovate and transform an existing building into a boutique hotel. Located in the heart of Rome, Italy, the design was to capture tourism through its unique and hospitable design. The scope of this project included a double bedroom, lounge area, and fine-dining restaurant.
DESIGN CONCEPT:The concept of this design is traced all the way back to its roots where ancient Mediterranean trade took place. The ancient harbor city of Rome, commonly known as Ostia Antica, combined with the architectural works of Kengo Kuma are the main sources that contributed to the overall inspiration of the work. The combination and application of these two elements work together to bring to life a unique and simplistic, but also beautifully elegant boutique hotel.
DESIGN SOLUT ION:

Through the implementation of natural materials and unique design elements, the interior of Hotel Edesia is simplistic, but also naturally elegant. Through the incorporation of the two main sources of inspiration, the design of the hotel utilizes unique ways in which furniture takes function within the space. The user experience is taken into account within the double bedroom by strategically planning for an “awe” moment when rounding the corner of the room. In addition to this, the transparency of elements within the dining area allow for a unique experience for the visitors of the space.

Lighting - natural light from the exterior during the daytime and dimmed lighting at during dinner hours
MATERIAL SELECT IONS
CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENTThe fine-dining experience of the restaurant Edesia involves characteristics of both transparency and interaction. The design utilizes materials that create boundaries throughout the space, while also allowing visual translucence of the dining experience. The customers are involved in an interactive process that allows them to grasp the complete understanding of how their food is prepared until it reaches their table. This is enhanced through the installation of the glass partition that separates the kitchen from the dining space. In addition to creating a connection between the customers and the staff members, this glass partition also serves as a sensory barrier to block out unwanted smells, noises, temperatures, and more.

Like all great ideas, it began
with a coffee shopLike eating a muffin with your coffee, everything comes in a combination, just like..
So why the coffee shop?
Gensler’s Work ModesSimilar to a coffee shop, we are providing a variety of work modes and amenities that revolve around access tofocus, collaboration, learning, and social spaces
FocusJust like a coffee shop can be used for heads down work, the workplace should provide people with an environment that allows fora retreat from distractions found in the office
CollaborationA lot of times, we come up with forms of inspiration through the interaction with others. By implementing spaces that promote positive communication, these interactions become the stepping stones of future ideas.
Learning

How does one grow? Just as the barista learns to build your favorite drink at your local shop, one must be surrounded by elements that will teach and inspire them. This can be incorporated through many means of health & wellness, as well as different learning opportunities.
234 Like running into your next door neighbor in line, the
environment should provide necessary opportunitiesfor spontaneous interactions. These casual meetingshelp to increase the sharing of ideas and the growthof community culture within a workplace.

SITE PLAN:
My main responsibility of this project revolved around the branding and marketing of the advertising agency and space. These branding applications were extremely necessary in order to achieve our concept of accessibility and overall cohesiveness. I wanted my graphics to be clear in communication and accurately depict the research that has been carried on throughout each phase. In addition to this, it was my responsibility to successfully plan out the graphics for the life-size installation space. This involved signage and way-finding, as well as space planning in regards to the overall installation experience.

By combining local “coffee shop” methods with local culturalpractices like graffiti, we are able to create a community thatthrives on inspiration, innovation, progression, and themovement towards urbanization.
In a thriving advertising agency, we are constantlylooking for means of inspiration. By looking at the roots of the LA Arts District, we are able to applythe same techniques within our workforce to createa cohesive and successful sense of branding.

WORKPLACE
DESIGN OBJECT IVE:Working in teams of four, the objective of this project was to design a workplace that was functional for four specific usertypes: copywriters, administrative personel, financial advisors, and human resource managers. In order to make the design functional, research on the necessities of the overall workplace, as well as these specific positions, was essential. With a large emphasis on branding, the space was to be cohesive and creatively designed to promote maximum employee performance.
DESIGN CONCEPT:
DESIGN SOLUT ION:Taking into account the needs of these four specific positions, providing environments that served for both private and public activities were essential. By designing large exterior windows, the space enhances the well-being of the employees and emphasizes the concept of biophilia. The lobby serves as a community space that stimulates spontaneous interaction and connection within the workplace. Through a bold branding application, Novel sets themselves apart as an agency and provides seamless transitions throughout each space.

Novel is a cutting-edge, innovative advertising agency that adapts to the current trends of the industry. The seamless transitions of dynamic shapes, forms, lines, and colors allow for the office space to come to life. The integration of color theory, sense of place, and the dynamic interaction of bold material selection sets Novel apart from other workspaces. The strong focus on seamless transitions takes the agency to the next level of innovation.

mausoleum design>> a place of remembrance Sicily, Italy
31
DESIGN OBJECT IVE:The objective of this project was to design a mausoleum located in Sicily, Italy. The architecture was to be reflective of traditional values, as well as encompass the emotional needs of the users. Providing a private setting was an important factor to keep in mind considering the emotion that comes along with the passing of a family member or close friend. The mausoleum was to serve as a place of remembrance and capture the beauty of a life once lived.
DESIGN CONCEPT:The concept of the design is focused on the beauty found within the passage of time. Through the incorporation of natural materials, the mausoleum serves as a place for peace, remembrance, as well as a reflection of family values and traditions.
DESIGN SOLUT ION:The concept for this design is implemented through the materiality choice of the mausoleum as well as the experience upon entering the architectural monument. In addition to stone, the application of copper is used to emphasize this over-arching idea. As time goes by and this material is exposed to the nature and outdoors, the copper turns into a beautiful patina which reflects the beauty that comes with time. I wanted this unique transformation of materiality to reflect the beauty that comes with age. In addition, the far side of the mausoleum looks out into the outdoor landscape which evokes a further sense of peace and calmness.

DESIGN OBJECT IVE:Christ Church Cathedral, located in Lexington, KY, is a community that embodies many strong values and beliefs. The intent of this project was to design a space that serves for two distinct functions: housing homeless men through a program known as “Room In the Inn”, as well as holding youth group functions and gatherings. Given these two very distinct and different user types, the interior was to be cohesive to fit the needs of both groups. The first phase of this project consisted of the design of a ‘homeless pod’. From there, we were to implement the design of our pods into the design of the basement interior.

A commonality between the homeless men and the members of the youth group is the lack of understanding in regards to what their next life-steps should be. In order to promote well-being and enhance self-growth, the design should be impactful and enriching, as well as encourage interaction among each community group to better prepare them for the future.
Through the incorporation of different settings, individuals are able to explore their distinct interests and connect with others through a variety of activities. Although simple, some of these activities are associated with problem solving, arts and creativity, reading and writing, as well as others. There are designated private spaces located in the design which allow individuals to meet and discuss future steps with those connected through the church. The space is uplifting and provides for the needs of both user groups.

CREAT IVE>> artistic worksThroughout the course of my undergraduate career, I have worked on many different projects that have challenged and evoked my sense of creativity. Each of these works have been completed using a variety of unique mediums and methods. While some of these projects took place during my study abroad experiences, others were simply a matter of building upon design elements and principles.

STUDY ABROADThroughout the journey of my undergraduate career, I have participated in various international study abroad experiences. In the winter of 2013, I accepted the opportunity to partake in a program that took place in Thailand and Cambodia. During these three weeks, I observed and documented the inter-cultural relationships present throughout this region and their influence on the architecture and design. In the fall of 2015, I took part in a semester-long studio located in the heart of Florence, Italy. This experience allowed me to explore the influence of European design and to collaborate with individuals on a variety of projects. Overall, the combination of these abroad experiences have enhanced my perspective on our global culture and has revealed my strengths relating to leadership, communication, and positivity.

The places that I have seen and the people that I have met have not only allowed me to grow as a person, but have enabled me to approach design with an entirely unique perspective. Being immersed within these cultures have pushed me into unfamiliar situations that have taught me the importance of communication, organization, and flexibility. I could not be more grateful for the adventures that life has brought to me thus far and I look forward to the adventures that are yet to come!
