RESEARCH
Geospatial Analysis through Esri’s ArcGIS examines the Baltimore area. Healthcare takes up the largest percentage of the workforce Analysis and research shows that crime, educational issues, and the poverty rate, which consistently rank above the national average are social issues in the area. Taking not of natural water flows, the new pediatric clinic will be flexible, fluid, relaxing, and playful, creating a an atmosphere that will serve the surrounding community and compete with other facilities.
Create a calm, functional, and comfortable safe space for patients during their visit Uphold all privacy standards and cater to all with inclusive, and accessible design Add value and beauty to the surrounding area through excellent care and patient education
“This new clinic will provide comprehensive pediatric primary care from birth to age eighteen (18) with accommodations to treat behavioral health issues. The clinic’s design scope will include Exam Rooms, Public Areas, both Administrative and Physician Workrooms, Manager’s Office, Nurse’s Station, Staff Lounge,
Medical Room, Soil Room, both Family Restrooms and Staff Restrooms, a Patient Education Space, and an Outdoor Area.” IIDA Project Brief for the Student Design Competition
Floor Plan: Working within the constraints of building shell required clever solutions in order to accommodate 8 exam rooms and all other design brief requirements. Careful attention to work flow and circulation resulted in a natural progression from waiting area, to interior clinic space with vitals and exam rooms arranged around a central rotunda with branching corridors to the rest of the clinic. The nurse station features a breezeway for greater efficiency and transom windows in exam rooms allow daylight while maintaining privacy. Stone pavers outside create a more sustainable pervious surface.

Urban Planning - 12 Acre Lot Office Design, Mixed Use
- Approx. 8,500 sqft
SCOPE
This ongoing senior capstone project spans 2 semesters Fall 2024-Spring2025. Part 1 required collaboration with GSU Psychology students to analyze, and consult with, the people of Pembroke to develop an empty lot near downtown.
Part 2 entailed individual design and completion as a senior capstone project of the architecture of the buildings and interiors of selected spaces (Office) within them. This project is being completed with LEED and LBC standards
Through ArcGIS Community Analysis and infographics, demographics, economic conditions, and healthcare statistics were analyzed within a 5, 10, and 15 min. driving radius from the site location within Pembroke. Healthcare stats revealed a central need for fitness and wellness
At a drive time of 5 minutes, only 41.8% exercise at home 2+ times a week, while only 8.6% exercise at a fitness center 2+
times per week. This means that only about ½ the population is recorded to be exercising at all, clearly showing a need for avenues for physical activity.
Moving out to a drive time of 5-10 min and 10-15 min.. the percentage of the population that exercises decreases in both home and fitness center categories.

FINE ART
SELECTED WORKS
Focus on printmaking techniques, painting, and drawing from intro through advanced courses and exhibit an exploration of history and culture, both personal and global, and the intersection of GIS and location, maps, and sense of place, with art and design. I enjoy research and information, desiring to educate through my art, using the basic principles of art and design I use in interiors - through color, glazing, impasto, and layering in both printmaking and painting to explore depth, atmosphere, and 3 dimensionality.

GEOSPATIAL DESIGN
FARMERS MARKETS IN A DIGITAL AGE
Using Geospatial Technology
to Design a Participatory Local Food Movement for more Resilient Communities and a Sustainable Planet
Geospatial Science involves the use of Geographical mapping and analysis of data. Also referred to as gis, or geographic information systems, geospatial science can be used for architecture, design, data analytics, mapping and cartography, urban and city planning, interior design, public policy, and so much more. The possibilities are endless. This project details how geospatial science was used to create data driven design solutions and reinforce the evidence based design process. The geospatial software used was ArcGIS provided by Esri. LINK
https://arcg.is/0rv0Ka0
The final project brief for a “Human Centered Design” required initial brainstorming to identify a community issue that could be solved through research, geospatial data collection, and design. The problem identified was the local farmers market and how it impacts local communities in its different forms in the Southeast of the U.S. Results of the project were placed in global context and related to
similar local market structures around the world, and focused on the Sustainable Development Goals set forth by the United Nations featured at left. The project began with interviewing 10 people in the region about their experience with farmers markets. From their experience an app was developed through Esri’s Quick Capture application and used by the 10 participants to capture data at various markets.
SUBJECTIVE DATA
The app at left (Scan below to access) allows participants to capture images and notes about various market infrastructure and appear as dots on the corresponding maps above. The Line Capture tracks the emotions clicked as participants move throughout the market space and appear as lines on the maps. The allows for a subjective data component.
The Esri Dashboard featured below combines all the subjective data collected from the app. This was then synthesized with he objective data to form the design solution.
OBJECTIVE DATA
Using Esri’s Community Analyst, each location was analyzed for demographic, community, and market information to look at trends and potential impacts on markets in the area. Each area was defined by rings of walking distances like those featured on the maps at right.
Drawings were created to show the solution for the farmers market of the future, serving the surrounding area and providing a facility for market and community use , both encouraging cultural exchange and providing access to healthy foods and an economy for small business and local farmers and suppliers. Design features include bus stops, bike racks, and walking trails to allow for ease of access, a versatile facility that can offer weather protection while maintaining an open air feel and connection to nature, refrigeration, water access, restrooms, green spaces, and seating.
