23 April 2024 To Whom it May Concern, I am delighted to write this letter of recommendation for Danielle Santos who joined Mappedin as a student Map Designer from early January 2024 to late April 2024. During her time with us, Danielle displayed excellent collaboration, organization, and an eagerness to contribute to the mapping team.

As a Map Designer, Danielle proficiently digitized the floor plans of international offices and retail stores, allowing for easy navigation and data tracking. Equipped with spatial knowledge, Danielle successfully interpreted complex floor plans of varying scale, quality checked her peers’ and senior mappers’ work, and created user demo maps for our MappedIn Self-Serve software. Danielle quickly learned a variety of workflows to digitize floor plans, including Mappedin’s CMS and Self-Serve, Adobe Illustrator, and AutoCAD. Danielle effectively applied her design skills to craft easy-to-use maps for our clients.

Overall, Danielle shows great promise. She quickly adapted to a remote work setting, evident in her prompt responsiveness on Slack and willingness to take on urgent tasks. Danielle met every task with enthusiasm and demonstrated great initiative as she consistently volunteered to take on urgent tasks on short notice.

Danielle was greatly committed to all her responsibilities while demonstrating self-management as she prioritized tasks efficiently, resulting in great flexibility and competence.

I was delighted to work with and see Danielle become a key asset to our team. I believe she will continue to bring value to where she goes in her future endeavors.

Blender, Rhinoceros 7, Photoshop, and InDesign Mariem Saad June 2023

Eternal Land: A Lamp Collection honours the eternity and richness of Egypt and Italy through their famous landscapes while addressing the countries’ crafting legacies. Eternal Land features three lamps: the sand lamp, the mountain lamp, and the water lamp. Each lamp represents a landscape well known to Egypt and Italy: the waters of the Nile and Venice, the sandy dunes of Egypt, and the mountains of Italy. The materials used to craft the lamps address the Italian practice of using clay while honouring the mosaics often seen in the traditional arabisk art of Egypt. Material gathered for the mosaics are shells and other materials found from the ocean and beaches.

02 THE CUBBYHOLE The New Library Media Location Date

Rhinoceros 7, Photoshop, Illustrator, Lumion, and Enscape Davies Ave, Downtown Toronto April 2023

Catering to its surrounding art businesses, the Cubbyhole is a library located in downtown Toronto that offers a creative space and resources specializing in art. The Cubbyhole embraces the misconception of the quiet library with its open concept plan. This is to encourage circulation and the viewing of art throughout the library. Privates spaces are carved out from the open concept plan, creating study pods for quiet time and places of leisure.

To engage with passersby from the outside, arches are extruded out. A theme of arches, carving, and extrusions are used throughout the Cubbyhole.

03 THE DARKROOM Archiving Lost Objects Media Location Date

Rhinoceros 7, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lumion Sterling Road, Downtown Toronto December 2024

In the age of digitization, the practice of analog craft has been dying when it has paved the way to the modern age of creation and technology. The Darkroom is an archive dedicated to old photography methods, cameras, and the darkroom; a space for developing photos. Visitors can explore how darkrooms were used, discover cameras predating the DSLR and the polaroid, and attend workshops for using darkrooms while developing photos of their own.

04 PINAFORE AMPHITHEATRE CISC Steel Amphitheatre Design Competion Media Location Collaborators Date

Rhinoceros 7, lllustrator, Grasshopper, and Enscape Pinafore Park, St . Thomas, ON Ayesha Qadri and Cindy He April 2023

Located in suburban St. Thomas, Pinafore Amphitheatre is the marker of a growing St. Thomas. With the economic boom and rise in population, the park’s existing modest amphitheatre is due for a redesign. From senior picnics to performances by rising stars, the elegant, elliptical structure of Pinafore Amphitheatre creates a home for community rock and roll bands and outdoor movie nights while maintaining the suburban hominess of St. Thomas.

We have chosen an elliptical structure to signifiy a welcome. The outreach of the entrance is designed to be open, similar to a greeting. Towards the middle, the canopy of the amphitheatre dips so visitors can feel more enclosed. The canopy serves as both an envelope and source of comfort.

05 SKETCHES AND MODELS Other work Media Date

Pen, alcohol markers, Clip Studio Paint 2023 to 2024

A series of sketches and models finished in various media. Sketches vary from live to at-home, but all are quick.

A case study of Humayun’s Tomb

A co-design laser cut project that takes the themes of group members’ Fall Studio archives. This project is focused on the form of the Brownie Kodak camera reimagined as a textile. Joinery systems are discreet.

Another group project focused on 3D printing and taking the group’s themes for their Studio project archives. This an earring taking the motif of a textile. The earring can also be spun.

06 PROFESSIONAL WORK Media Date

AutoCAD, Illustrator, Mappedin’s self-serve, and CMS January to April 2024

Focused on map creation, I had the opportunity to be trained on multiple workflows and simplify the floor plans of international venues ranging from retail to offices. I was also encouraged to present creative work I had done using Mappedin’s software as part of maintaining a fun work atmosphere.

Original plans were edited in AutoCAD and imported to Illustrator. The mapper interpets and simplifies the floor plan, labels programs, and adds furniture

Geometry from Illustrator would be imported to Mappedin’s CMS. This would be edited and quality checked

Pathing was mapped out based on spaces the public is able to access. This was done manually

Co-op students were encouraged to work for 1 hour on creative mapping bi-weekly using the company’s limited CMS. For this prompt, I mapped my room.
