FLOURISH
Somehow, in the rocky and dry Rocky Mountains, beautiful flora and fauna have found a way to thrive. Through years of evolution and growth, these natural wonders have adapted to their environments to make it uniquely work for them. This space fosters that growth and resilience seen in the near by mountains. This space is all about the unique journey each person takes to self improvement. Whether it be socially, physically, mentally, or emotionally. By building confident community members, people are more likely to contribute to the community allowing it to also flourish. Like the creatures of the Rocky Mountains, users persevere and shine by taking their unique journey.

INTD 330 - LIGHTING
CUSTOM LUMINAIRE
Tasked with creating a unique and custom luminaire. I utilized plywood and a lamp kit. I created the shapes of the pieces on Rhino, then utilized a laser cutter to cut out the pieces. I used wood glue to attach the pieces together. I was inspired by traditional paper lanterns for the shape.
INTD 376 - STUDIO IV
CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS
This was a part of a conceptual analysis project. I selected the word COMMUNITY. From there, I researched the word and what I thought represented it. From that research, we were tasked with creating a physical model that we thought represent the word. Using StetchUp, I modeled these four pieces that came together to form a cube. I then 3D printed them. The pieces stayed together with small magnets on the matching sides. It represents the individual pieces or people that come together to form a unique new whole.
INTERNSHIP WORK
IN PROGRESS CAP WORKSHEET
