About Me

I am a third year design student studying at Florida State University maintaining a 3.8 GPA and minoring in both Psychology and General Business. Attending FSU’s CIDA accredited design program has taught me many valuable skills, keeping focus on the steps throughout each design processes and adjusting to continually meet the needs of the client.

My love for design sparked from walking through antique shops with my step-mom, where we would dream about where each piece would go and how the space would feel with each piece in it. It wasn’t until I started thinking about what I wanted to do with my life that I realized I was addicted to the way designers could control the feel of a room by influencing just one element at a time. I am a very detail oriented person and when all of the small details in a design come together to form one elegant and cohesive whole, I swoon.

I thrive on creating designs that leave a lasting impact and designing projects where each small detail has meaning and purpose.

Sikhism Guardwara:

Site: New York City, New York

SF: 2,000

Type: Worship Space

Concept: Gold

Overlooking New York City, New York, sits the Sikhism Guardwara. This modern building is part of a new initiative celebrating United States diversity at the Statue of Liberty complex. It is a small space that is visited by believers of the Sikhism faith and is used as a system for reflection and worship. The space was designed with an emphasis on procession and circulation in spiritual architecture and universal design standards, as these were at the forefront of the clients wants and needs.

Concept:

Gold is used throughout the temples, worship spaces, and decorations of the Sikhism religion. It represents a balance between naturalistic elements and lavish living which is a fundamental of Sikhism. All Sikh teachings are founded on the basis that everyone is created as equals and you must be able to give to those in need to enrich your own life so the monotone, but detailed molding embodies this message. Gold’s light reflective qualities also attribute the ideals of self-reflection in the form of meditation, which is also a big part of Sikh worship.

Materials:

Floor Plan:

Hand-drawn and rendered in gray scale to show spatial correlation between each of the designated areas. A large central hallway leads worshipers straight to the worship room. Plenty of room was added in the gathering/breakout space as this is where group meals are conducted.

Section Cut:

Hand-drawn and rendered in gray-scale to show a section cut through the main pathway of the space. The main hallway provides easy access to all of the spaces with a direct line leading from the front entrance to the back Guardwara worship space. This depiction also highlights the materials such as limestone that were used on the interior.

Front Facade:

Hand-drawn and rendered in gray-scale to show the building entrance, which includes tradition elements from Sikhism culture, including the shoe holder and foot bath.

2 Paris Apartment:

Concept: Haussman

In this project, I was tasked with designing and rendering a Haussman-Era Parisian apartment. Research was done to make sure the designs, which were completely drawn and rendered by hand, honored the clients wants of making it a historical renovation while adding modern elements.

Floor Plan:

Completely handdrawn and rendered in color to show the layout of the apartment, highlighting the use of wood flooring in the lounge and living areas as well as traditional tiling in the kitchen.

Haussman Era:

Library:

Hand-drawn and rendered in color to show detailed elements such as the wains-scotting and crown molding. This rendering also portrays the furniture selections and built-in bookshelves.

Kitchen: Sitting Room:

Completely hand-drawn and rendered in color. This drawing highlights the historic detailing on the fireplace as well as the large golden mirror that sits centered on the mantel. The double French doors on either side of the fireplace place intention of symmetry and fluidity, transferring from this lounge area to the dining room.

This hand-sketched and rendered drawing portrays the chosen kitchen materials. Dark green cabinetry was used to create contrast against the white detailing on the walls, cabinetry and back splash. Natural wooden shelves were also placed on either side of the hood vent to add warmth.

Site: Laguna Beach, California

Type: Residential Workplace

Artist Retreat: 3

Concept: Serene

Near the gorgeous coast of California, sits a serene landscape painters heaven. With large views to the outside, this 1,000 sq.ft retreat, gives an abundant amount of inspiration alongside a private area to conduct work. With ample storage and a large work surface, the client is able to carry out their wildest artistic ambitions.

Floor Plan:

In this serene artist retreat, two main requirements were set forth by the client; a large place to paint with enough storage to store all of their supplies, and a small separate break area for them to gain inspiration from. Both of these needs were satisfied by the creation of a storage wall which creates separation between the two spaces while not feeling closed off, and a wall wide storage system with closed bottom cabinetry and open upper shelving. A large curtain wall with movable doors supplies the artist with a direct connection to the outdoors, giving them loads of inspiration for their landscape paintings.

Concept:

This project was inspired by the natural tones that can be found on californias native beaches. The dark hue of the water contrasted with the tan sand create a peaceful composition that embodies the feel of the space the client wanted designed.

Materials: Art Station:

This art area was established to be a maneuverable station that enables the client to move around and pick the most ideal lighting spot for them to produce their paintings. The dark blue color that was used on the built in storage shelves draws the eye towards the window wall that is placed right behind this area.

Large Art Desk:

A large artists desk was placed near the storage area to provide ample surface to layout paints and brainstorm ideas. A wall length drying rack with pegs for each painting to sit on was also provided so the client can allow their paintings to dry out of the way of commotion and all of the other areas.

Site: 123 Park Overlook, Austin, Texas

SF: 2,914

Park Overlook: 4

Type: Residential Concept: Water

Mr. and Mrs. Kimura are building a residence in Austin, TX and both enjoy a mid-century modern style. Mr. Kimura, 72, is a retired architect and enjoys sketching and watercolor drawing. Mrs. Kimura, 68, is a retired textile saleswoman and enjoys making fresh flower arrangements. They both engage in the practice of Tai Chi and remain active in upholding the traditions of their Japanese heritage.

This handdrawn and hybridrendered floor plan shows the layout of the home, including all ADA requirements and client needs. Wood flooring was carried throughout the main living spaces to provide warmth.

Process Work: Concept:

Water was the driving force for the Kimuras residential space. With Mr. Kimura’s watercolors, Mrs. Kimura’s flower arrangements, and the calming nature of Japanese culture, water is the element that ties together these components. Water trickles movement into every nook and cranny as it flows. This was reflected in the home through the use of each square foot of the house working together to form a unified home that also embodies the feel and relaxing composition of water under multiple contexts.

Kravet Fabric Pattern

The design of this pattern was abstractly taken from the pitches of notes in a song titled “Water Crystals” by Nao Yamashita. Throughout the song, distinct high and low notes are “hit” repeatedly. To create this repeated pattern, the notes pitches were recorded through a series of points then connected by a single continuous line. This line, with its curvatures, reflects the ebbs and flows of water.

Projects: CAD Door, Construction Systems Detail Drawings, Sketches, Garage Mock Drawing

Other Projects: 5

In this section you will see a series of CAD drawings, Revit plans and other creations that represent the technical skills I have learned so far. Each project has helped me to further my love of design and reconfirm my confidence in the abilities I have obtained as a student so far.

FSU Reynolds Hall :

Reynold's dormitory hall was built in 1913 but underwent major renovations, along with 4 other historical dorms, and reopened in 1996. The front door is elegantly decorated with a Jacobean arch, brick and cement detailing, and decorative glass window panes. The detailing extends past the front face of the main building, creating an awning with a pointed top and symmetrical geometric detailing on either side. The brick pattern is a simple staggered stack lay with cement detailing providing the main design appeal. CAD was used to draw this replica of the halls front entrance.
