The design intention for this project will be to generate a proposal that prioritizes attainable housing for low income groups that were affected by COVID the most and had inequitable access to

will
explore cost consciousness through hidden builtin storage and functional space-saving features. Since it serves a wide age range, it will contain balance between different interactive zones: public and private, extrovert and introvert. The intention is for people of all ages to make meaningful contributions, maintain a sense of purpose, and foster a deeper sense of connection in a bigger collective community outside of immediate family. This will revitalize the surrounding neighborhood and bring social value to these empty urban centers.

mental health issues during the pandemic such as anxiety and depression became exacerbated among both adults and young adults, which has maintained a lasting impact on the world post-pandemic. An amenity offered within The Collective for low-income groups is Remedy, a mental health clinic which offers family and individual therapy and counselling services. The intention for this space is to give families an opportunity to improve their well-being and interpersonal relationships as well as give them a tool to use to strengthen their community from the inside out through counselling rooms and sensory pods.

Translucent iridescent screens emphasize natural light to give the space an airy and whimsy dream-like feel while plants are integrated to improve air quality and health. As the user makes their way back towards the pods, the environment becomes darker and more peaceful, silent, and meditative.

A Creative Interior for

The design intention for this retreat, community, and studio space is to bring light to the linear story reel that Dina Amin communicates in her stop motion animations. Graduating with an Industrial Design degree, she soon realized that she wasn’t fond of the values of the industry. Huge amounts of energy and resources were poured into designing a product that people would eventually throw away. She cling

Food holds different meanings to different people, but it is a common necessity that we all universally share and interact with on a daily basis. However, the journey of food from farm to fork has turned into a long and unsustainable process, creating barriers to accessing healthy and local produce. The intention of this design is to bridge the physical and conceptual gap between consumer and producer especially in the Haymarket, an area where locating affordable, fresh food and produce year-round can be a struggle. The site is dense in sit-down restaurants and bars, but accessing a grocery store could be difficult without a car. The Link is a community hub that features a public, locally based market, a cafe/bar kiosk with quick and easy meals, a greenhouse, and demonstration kitchens. Users are able to shop from local farmers and vendors selling fresh produce, meals, and homemade products. They can also learn how to prepare the produce and about different kinds of meals from the farmers and chefs in the demonstration kitchens, obtaining skills that they can carry on for a lifetime and pass down to future generations. These close interactions between the user and their community connects them back to their food and promotes more awareness around consumption.

This exquisite corpse was created from a combination of precedents. Using the Domino F
Corbusier as the basis, we built upon it each week by adding a unique spatial element tha the space. We began with marble floors and transparent glass walls; from there, we added
skylights that allowed a lot of natural light into the space. We then modeled a staircase for c

The purpose of this design is to create an accessible space on the site of Everett Elementary that gives children a sensory and exploratory learning environment to improve their health and well-being. Starting with a portable framework, this intention will be achieved through the use of tactile materials as paths, rounded apertures to foster curiousity to the outside world, and different interactive zones, such as tables for collaboration and small child-scale nooks
and
alcoves
for
self-reflection.
Sur-
rounding the portable lies a garden filled with native Nebraska plants and pollinators, as well as areas for messy and exploratory play using natural materials including but not limited to sand, dirt, leaves, branches, and rocks. Through a space that reflects their local ecosystem and encourages their independence, the students will adopt an understanding of their place in Nebraska, in nature, and the universe.

Ceramic Creations
In high school I took ceramics class 3 times, emerging from each class with different skills and perspectives that I could apply to all aspects of my life. My love for art and this class grew tobe a couple of the main reasons that drove my career decision. Working with clay is grounding and has taught me the importance of the creative process as well as designing with intention and function. It has also reminded me to be patient during the process and how to critically problem solve and piece different ideas together.
