TABLE OF CONTENTS The works chosen are projects that display a variety of skill sets and understanding.

Conceptual thinking, urban design and development, landscape and product design are all showcased allowing detailed work, contextual analysis and graphic diagrams and renders to explain the design process and reveal a wide range of knowledge that I have gathered in my time at Kansas State University. Amongst this knowledge, I have experience developing a full site analysis of large scale projects analyzing physical and ecological conditions to create a fully unified and coherent design project.

Irwin-Union Bank Creating a useable public space to diminish the dividing line of Troost Avenue.

Location: Linwood Boulevard and Troost Avenue

Racial and Economical divide made Troost Avenue a “dividing Line� in Kansas City. This bank creates a vision that Troost Avenue can be more than a division between race and wealth. It can allow the community to come together on both the interior and exterior through a flexible floor plan allowing for different events to occur within, and through mulitpurpose public space

Regulated building form and setbacks help define the site

A bus stop and pedestrian access make this site suitable for the public
