The Williamsburg, Pennsylvania is rural small town community that has historically relied on manufacturing and agriculture as its main economic outputs. In recent years, businesses have left rural America including Williamsburg creating an economic void for its residents. This studio focuses

on how residents can capitalize on The Lower Trail which runs through Blair and Huntingdon Counties and will become an assets with its placement along the 9/11 Memorial Trail. Through interventions in the downtown area and in Riverside Park, Williamsburg has the potential to became a destination for many.

Spring Creek Watershed

Geo-spatial Analysis Studio

Date: Spring 2021

Location: Centre County, Pennsylvania

Project Size: 93,000 Acres

The Spring Creek Watershed is diverse region with its urban/rural dynamics including being home to the Pennsylvania State University. In recent years, there has been an increased need for emergency medical services (EMS) to serve all of the county’s residents, especially it’s older populations further away from its only hospital, Mount Nittany Medical Center. Through

an initial inventory of the Watershed, several proposals were designed to not only make healthcare more accessible but take proactive measure to decrease the needs for EMS services along with make health centric public spaces more readily available for all residents within the Watershed.

Expressway Succession

Urban Design Studio

Date: Spring 2022

Location: Baltimore, Maryland

Project Size: 16 Acres

The Franklin Mulberry Expressway is an abandoned infrastructure project from the 1960’s that never came to fruition that has fragmented four different communities in Baltimore. The Expressway in various sections is 40 feet below grade along with having large amounts of cement. The concept derived through this design process explores how

abandoned infrastructure can be repurosed for a fraction of the cost as opposed to building a new public space from scratch. The design capitalizes on the existing vegetation growing on site through the phased integration of native species while cultivating a new public space for Baltimore residents.

Millennium Science Complex

Technical Planting Design Course

Date: Fall 2021

Location: University Park, Pennsylvania

Project Size: 5.5 Acres

The Complex’s planting design incorporates many of the most modern planting design techniques to better facilitate biological activity. Through this semester long exercise, the Complex was able to get redesigned with the use of pollinator gardens. All phases of the project use almost all native plants to aid in educating

the site’s visitors. Through the design of the pollinator garden, there was an emphasis on engaging visitors with natural activities found within the garden. Different nodes are created to see how pollination occurs and the plethora of plants that help preserve a dwindling pollinator population.

Pollinator Education Types

1. Plants that are native to Pennsylvania

2. Plants with bright visual interest

3. Plants that attract bees and butterflies

4. Prairie meadow/pollinator garden

A perspective rendering illustrating the different heights of planting material chosen. This study helps identify whether certain species are in the right areas along with whether the garden is visually appealing to those walking through. A perspective rendering of the view walking towards the Millennium Science Complex. Native vegetation and grasses creates intimacy for visitors through the use of ornamental grasses, flowering perennials, and deciduous trees.

Design Implementation

Storm-water Drainage Plan:

Date: Spring 2021

Location: State College, Pennsylvania

Project Size: 5.2 Acres

The Pennsylvania State University Visitor Center applies grading concepts onto a real site with various challenges. The water from the parking lots is diverted into bio-rention systems that filter pollutants out of the water. As a result, the water released back into the Watershed is cleaned resulting in fewer environmental issues for residents and the wildlife. To facilitate visitor access around the building, a ramp and stairs were designed as required by ADA.

Tree Planting Construction Documents:

Date: Fall 2021

Location: University Park, PA

Project Size: 7.2 Acres

As part of the Millennium Science Complex project, a tree plaza was designed with both Strata-vault cells and Cornell University structural soil. These types of planting mediums enable the trees to grow in urban environments with hardscape material above the roots. In order for the pavers to be suspended over the root ball and flare, a custom paver grate and bolting system was designed for increased durability.

Internships and Construction

James Doyle Design Associates Internship

Date: May 2022 - August 2022

Location: United States and U.K.

Project Size: Various

During the summer internship at JDDA, I had the opportunity to work on various projects that were in different phases. Through this experience, I was able to design details for fencing, gates, and hand rails. I was also given the opportunity to work with the other designers to create planting palettes and 3D renders to help clients visualize the design.

Construction Projects:

Date: May 2018 - Present

Location: New York and New Jersey

Project Size: Various

For over six years, I had the opportunity to work in the field to learn the installation process for various landscape features. These skills were later applied to construct my Eagle Scout project, the Alfred Baffa Pollinator Garden. As part of this project, I designed, managed, and installed all the features found on the site with help from the community.
