The Rabbit’s Colony
Located at the intersection of Roxbury and Mission Hill within Boston, this project transforms a parking lot wasteland into a vibrant forest. The Rabbit’s Colony increases the amount of trees and other flora in the area to reduce heat island effect and increase biodiversity; provides much needed habitat for local fauna; provides housing for low-income families and young adults; creates an engaging landscape for community activities and entertainment; and is home to several small businesses who benefit from a unique store experience and the positive effects of biophilia on customers.

Library of Chance Encounters
Welcome to the place for a romcom meetcute, people watching, and community connection. This library is an imagined Chinatown BPL branch set on a site adjacent to One Green Way and Tuft’s hospital expansion buildings. This library aims to increase interpersonal interaction of its patrons through its maze like circulation shaped by the bookcases. These bookcases interupt and divert circulation paths to allow for exploration of the collections and, possibly, the beginning of a great love story.

Northeastern Branded Wallpaper
On my 2023 co-op as the Northeastern Global Network team intern I was tasked with developng a subtle branded wallpaper using the Northeastern name for the Arlington campus’ elevator hallway. I created three initial options playing with an overall pattern, the sizing of text, and shades of grey. Out of the 3 options, the random pattern was chosen and tweaked before being put up on the Arlington campus!
