A Magnet School for the Environment
Fall 2021
Revit, Lumion, Rhino Team Project
Based in Northeast Lubbock, the concept for the Magnet School for the Environment focused on environmental consciousness and a “place-based” curriculum style. Arranged along a East-West axis, terminating with the Main Building in the East, the campus design utilized sustainable methods to combat climatic conditions in West Texas. Building upon this idea of a “place-based” curriculum style, the courtyard became this “spine” on which activity clusters began to occur supporting this sense of “place” in the educational experience.
Key Points:
- building envelope & systems integration
- campus planning
- user requirements
- collaborative design project

Peak-A-Boo
Product Design
On-Site Fabrication, construction Group Project on site at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, New York.
Located in the Bindy Woods at the historic site of the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival, the Peak-ABoo installation at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts was an experiment in on-site fabrication and construction. The laminated ribbed structure, consisting of over 180 uniquely cut pieces, was braced with cross members spanning between each rib and structurally stiffened through the application of 60 full, quarter-inch plywood sheets. The resulting installation consists of one tall arch, crossing above and over the pathway into the woods, one smaller arch, and two separate decks crossing the distance between the two. The structure and space are both unique and multifaceted in their programmability.
Key Points:
- construction
- on-site fabrication
- wood structures
- design installation

Wild Urbanisms: A House for a Ship
Fall 2022
Rhino, Lumion, IMovie, AfterEffects
The WildUrbs Studio, House for a Ship, was an experience in collaborative design utilizing collage as a tool of design within the studio. Working through three different scales, Macro, Mezzo, and Micro, the project developed city mappings, building plans, and detail sections all from collaborative collage and the development of a specific narrative. The House for the Ship specifically looked at the further implication and manipulation of scale as a design choice in pursuit of monumental architectural elements matching that of the scale of features and details of a large cargo ship.
Key Points:
- planning
- detail drafting
- collaboration
- digital animation

Downtown Art School and Live Work Space
Summer 2020
Rhino Partner Project
Located in the downtown arts district of Lubbock, the Downtown School of Art is a proposed secondary location for the Texas Tech School of Art. The prime placement of the program within the art district creates a new type of continuous activity within the downtown area, attracting a new group of users. Consisting of a large group of art studios, private studios, graphic design labs, galleries, and collective spaces, the Downtown Art School seeks to provide a designated creative space within the heart of the arts district.
Key Points:
- collaboration
- rehabilitation/re-use design
- site planning
- Programming

Digital Design & Fabrication
Fall 2021-Spring 2022
Rhino, Kuka Robot Machine Builder, Clay 3D Printe, 3D Printing Team Project
A collection of work from a set of computational fabrication focused classes over the course of an academic year that focused on utilizing multiple means of digital/technological fabrication. These projects were conducted as group collaborative assignments, using fabrication methods such as robotic 2D drawings, rockite casting, 3D printing, clay 3D printing, and concrete 3D printing.
Key Points:
- joint assembly
- computational fabrication
- computational 3D design
- concealed joinery

Hidden Lines
Product Design
Wood chair design, CNC fabrication, Concealed hardware
Partner Project
Through a series of iterative designs experiments with different materials, the Hidden Lines chair was designed with alternative profiles and structural joinery concealment in mind. Through material discoveries in cardboard and PVC pipe, a language was developed that looked to create alternate profiles in multiple perspectives. Wooden spacer rings were used to conceal and separate the multiple layers of the chair, with continuous profiles adhered to either end, fully concealing the structure and joinery of the chair. The space frame, a secondary project, was the inverse of the chair with completely exposed joinery and a singular line type throughout the structure, in any perspective.
Key Points:
- fabrication
- concealed joinery
- digital modeling
- modeling
