DESCRIPTION
TIDAL IS AN ARTS CENTER FOR BOTH PERFORMING AND FINE ARTS. THE ORIGINAL PROGRAM OF THE PROJECT WAS TO CREATE A SPACE, CALLED AN “ASSEMBLY HOUSE,” TO ACT AS A SMALL CONVENTION CENTER THAT CATERS TO MANY TYPES OF EVENTS. MY PARTNER, COOPER, AND I DECIDED TO CATER TO MULTIPLE TYPES OF ARTS WHICH INCLUDE THEATRICAL PERFORMANCES, CONCERTS, OPERAS, SYMPHONIES, AND FASHION SHOWS. IN ADDITION TO THESE EVENTS, TIDAL ALSO HAS GALLERY SPACES, AND A BAR. IN THE PROCESS OF OUR DESIGN WE WERE INFLUENCED BY THE NEARBY SEA WHICH LEAD TO THE FORM OF THE BUILDING. IT REPRESENTS A SHIP COMING OUT OF THE WATER OR THE CREST OF A WAVE. THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROJECT IS DUE TO THE TIRELESS EFFORTS OF MY PARTNER AND MYSELF.

DESCRIPTION
WOVEN SQUARE IS A MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING MIXED-USE BUILDING FOR OKLAHOMA CITY, OK. OUR STUDIO CREATED A MASTER PLAN OF THE CITY TO EXPAND FROM THE CORE TO THE SHORE. THE BEST ROOM FOR EXPANSION WAS NEAR THE SCISSORTAIL PARK WHERE THERE ARE MANY UP AND COMING ENTERTAINMENT BUILDINGS AND STADIUMS. THE PROGRAM INCLUDES RESTAURANTS, INCUBATOR RESTAURANTS, A FOOD HALL, A LARGE COMMUNITY AREA, AND APARTMENTS. THE FOOD HALL AND RESTAURANTS ARE MEANT TO BE A PUBLIC EXPERIENCE WITH A COMPLETELY CONNECTED CIRCUIT OF OPTIONS FOR THE VISITORS. THE EXTERIOR PLAZA AREA DRIVES PEOPLE THROUGH THE SPACE AND TOGETHER TO GATHER AND ENJOY THEIR EXPERIENCE.

THE NEW YEARS PAGODA IS A DESIGNBUILD PROJECT THAT I WORKED ON WITH 15 OTHER STUDENTS FOR THE KANSAS CHILDREN’S DISCOVERY CENTER. I TOOK ON A LEADERSHIP ROLE AND ORGANIZED THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT SET BY COMMUNICATING WITH MY CLASSMATES, COLLECTING AND REVISING DETAILS, AND MEETING WITH THE CLIENTS AND CONSULTANTS. WE, THEN, SUBMITTED THEM TO THE CITY OF TOPEKA, KS. AFTER THE PERMITS WERE OBTAINED, WE BEGAN CONSTRUCTION, AND I ASSISTED WITH THE WOODWORKING AND TILE CUTTING TEAMS. THE PROJECT WAS COMPLETED IN FEBRUARY OF 2022 AND I AM TO PROUD OF MY CLASS’S ACCOMPLISHMENT.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT DETAILS
I WORKED ON THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND WAS ABLE TO DETAIL EVERY ASPECT OF OUR DESIGN. I WORKED WITH AN ENGINEER AND CONTRACTORS FOR INSIGHT AND IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. I DREW AND REVISED ALMOST EVERY DRAWING IN THE SET. THIS ALLOWED ME TO LEARN MANY DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF CONSTRUCTION AS WELL AS THE DOCUMENTATION PROCESS.

DESCRIPTION
IN THE SUMMER OF 2023, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK FOR CLARK & ENERSEN IN KANSAS CITY, MO. THERE, I WORKED ON A VARIETY OF PROJECTS AND CREATED AND EDITED DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS, CODE FOOTPRINTS, AND GRAPHICS FOR AIA AWARD SUBMITTALS. THE GRAPHICS SEEN IN THIS SECTION ARE FROM AN AIA AWARD SUBMITTAL FOR A PROJECT CREATED IN 2019 FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FOR MEDICAL SCIENCES. THE ORIGINAL PROJECT WAS A SPACE STUDY, SO THE AWARD SUBMITTAL WAS FOR THE CONCEPT SECTION (UNBUILT). THIS WAS AN AMAZING PROJECT TO TAKE PART IN, AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE GRAPHICS WE SUBMITTED.
OVERALL, MY TIME AND EXPERIENCE WITH CLARK & ENERSEN WAS INVALUABLE AND HELPED PREPARE ME AS I STEP INTO THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD.

DESCRIPTION
2020 WAS THE FIRST YEAR IN MY LIFE SINCE THE AGE OF 2 THAT I DID NOT COMPETE IN AN ATHLETIC SPORT. I HAD HUNG UP MY RUNNING SPIKES AND WANTED TO PICK UP A NEW ACTIVITY. I HAD TRIED KNITTING AND COULD NOT GET THE HANG OF IT SO I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY CROCHETING. I STARTED AND WITHIN A WEEK, I HAD UNDERTAKEN A LARGE PROJECT. ALTHOUGH IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO FINISH AND DID NOT COME OUT AS I WISHED, I WAS PROUD OF MYSELF. I STUCK TO IT AND BY THE SAME TIME THE NEXT YEAR, I HAD STARTED SELLING MY WORK. I HAVE NOW SOLD OVER 100 ITEMS AND I STILL LOVE CROCHETING. IT IS NOT JUST A SOURCE OF REVENUE, BUT A PASSION. CROCHETING IS MY WAY OF UNWINDING AT THE END OF A LONG DAY, AND IT HAS HELPED ME THROUGH MUCH OF MY LIFE NOW.
