NEXT OFFICES This office for NEXT blends professionalism with play, supporting focus, creativity, and relaxation. Energizing colors, diverse textures, and eco-friendly materials create an inspiring, sustainable environment. Biophilic elements and a café add wellness and social spaces, promoting a balanced atmosphere for work and recharge.

To explore the design and spatial flow, I created a physical block diagram, complemented by perspective drawings in AutoCAD and SketchUp, with post-processing in Photoshop to enhance visuals.

THE SOCIAL PAVILION For this project I was tasked to build a form that reflected design elements and principles. I then had to create a space out of the form. I chose to turn my form into a social pavilion.

The goal of the pavilion was to attract and bring together communities to achieve feelings of connection, happiness, and fun. This project served as an introduction to design ideation, making a material and mood board, program diagramming , as well as critically thinking about the spaces needs, adjacencies, and functions.

CAN DO KALAMAZOO I had the privilege of designing a small business support hub in newly acquired space for Can-Do Kalamazoo, a non-profit organization that supports local entrepreneurs at all stages of development . The project’ s goal was to create an empowering environment where entrepreneurs could access tools, resources, and collaborative spaces to thrive, while also celebrating the creativity and resilience of the Kalamazoo community.

My responsibilities included developing initial design concepts encompassing space planning, a cohesive color scheme, and material palettes. Deliverables for the project included concept drawings, mood boards, and detailed floor plans/renderings. I worked closely with the client throughout the process, presenting the initial concepts, refining the design based on feedback, and delivering a final plan that aligned with the organization’ s mission and vision.

The result was a thoughtfully designed support hub that combines functionality, inspiration, and a strong sense of community, reflecting the dynamic spirit of Kalamazoo’ s entrepreneurs.

CONTEMPORARY MUSEUM This three-story contemporary art museum, was designed as a cultural hub where art and community converge. Transparent facades create openness, while flexible layouts adapt to exhibitions, workshops, and events for an evolving visitor experience. Key features include interactive installations, modular galleries, sensory-friendly spaces, and community zones for local artists. Outdoor areas like the art park and plaza host public events, with a "Community Wall" showcasing local art.

Research on circulation, art display, and engagement informed the design, visualized through infographics.

Using AutoCAD, Adobe Suite, and SketchUp, the final deliverables included 3D renderings, detailed plans, and a conceptual model that celebrate accessibility, creativity, and community.

THE INNOVATION SUITE This project merges the architectural ingenuity of Buckminster Fuller with the photography of Annie Leibovitz to create a cohesive design that balances structure, light, and storytelling. The project features a custom light installation that emulates the interplay of shadows and highlights, serving as both a functional and artistic centerpiece. Extensive research was conducted to delve into Fullers sustainable design principles and Leibovitzs lighting techniques, with the findings presented through detailed infographics that guided the design process. The project utilized AutoCAD, Adobe Suite, and SketchUp to develop renderings, technical drawings, and visual narratives. The final deliverables encapsulated the harmonious blend of innovative design and artistic vision, reflecting the intersection of functionality and storytelling.

Bedroom

This experience view of the kitchen and dining room showcases the circular flow of the suite, highlighted by the prominent central piece. These spaces combine elements of both the Dymaxion House and Annie Leibovitz's aesthetic.

This experience view highlights the bedroom, showcasing Annie Leibovitz's photographic aesthetic along with nods to some of her most iconic works. The space features a monochromatic dark palette accented with pops of yellow and blue, colors Leibovitz often gravitates toward in her photography.

THE HEART OF THE HIVE

For this project, we selected two metaphors and implemented design principles and elements into a residential design. We also expanded on the concept statement, exploring the deeper meaning behind the chosen metaphors. This project involved going through the entire design process, from conceptual development to the final presentation. It was one of the first opportunities to showcase our knowledge of AutoCAD and SketchUp by creating a detailed floor plan.”

Beehive Metaphor The design of this space draws inspiration from the metaphor of a beehive, a structure that symbolizes community, harmony, and purpose. Just as a beehive is meticulously organized to support the well-being of its colony, the design will create a space that fosters connection, productivity, and a sense of belonging for all who live within.The walls will create a feeling of protection and privacy, while the rooms will function like individual cells, each serving a unique purpose yet all working together to support the whole. Pathways will mirror the e cient corridors of a hive, allowing movement and interaction to flow e ortlessly. This space will warrant a nurturing and vibrant environment.

Symetrical Each comb is symmetrical

Contrast The combs display contrast through their depth and variety of colors

Variety Beehive structures vary from one another

Color Beehives contain di erent colors

Pattern Beehives repeat similar shapes, creating patterns

Heart Metaphor The design of this space envisions a structure that functions as the heart of a family, pulsing with warmth and life. Just as the heart circulates blood to nourish every part of the body, the design will flow throughout the home, providing comfort and security to all those who reside within. The walls will serve to protect, embracing each room with care, while the open spaces will act as arteries, allowing energy and connection to move freely, bringing the family closer together. This vision ensures that the home serves as a sanctuary where life can flourish.

Proportion The bottom portion and top portion are proportional to each other

Asymetrical The human heart is not symmetrical on both sides

Golden Ratio The human heart closely follows the golden ratio

Movement The perimeter of the heart shows movement

Emphasis Although the heart is proportional, there is a strong emphasis on the top portion
