GABRIELLE

Hi, I am Gabby, nice to meet you!

I have had an interest in architecture ever since 3rd grade. In art class, the teacher gave me an assignment to draw a building. I chose the Ruthmere Museum in Elkhart, IN because of the detailed facade. She liked the drawing so well that she decided to sumbit into an art contest where I recieved a third place award. Over the years, I helped my father fix up Victorian and other types of homes in Grand Rapids, Michigan while maintaining the detail of the original structure. This has helped me cultivate an interest in architecture.

Issue Solution

In the city noise polution can be a problem causes by cars, restaurants, and more.

The soltution is to separate and keep certain spaces as far away from the noise as possible such as raising those areas up a level or using different masses and vegetation can help separate those areas.

GRAPHIC DESIGN

Photoshop poster project

The idea stemed from watching people put up a billboard and seeing their small size in comparison to it. Then I thought about the violin I play and how difficult it is. I feel so small in comparison to its ability to produce such beautiful sounds, if only I could play a little bit better.
