INTRO

Design is a constantly evolving conversation.

I desire to design spaces and objects which cater to client needs and will adapt to a world to come.

Human beings are complex, complicated creatures.

Understanding others through research and conversation is crucial to how I design.

I communicate through creation. Whenever I create, I want to impart my values through the implementation of features which encourage collaboration, discussion, and mutual respect.

I want to design spaces that are not only inhabited, but loved and cherished. I achieve this by continuously learning, designing with empathy and passion, and engaging in discussion regarding how our industry and society can improve.

RITUAL Interior Architecture

spring 2023 124 loma vista drive - sonoma, california

How can we encourage disconnected people to connect and use architecture to create an experience that visitors will remember for a lifetime?

This project is a winery tasting room, meeting & dining facility, and retail space located in Sonoma County, CA. The facility will be housed in two buildings located on the winery site to be renovated to fulfill the project program.

The winery is located at 124 Loma Vista Drive off of Arnold Drive, a main north-south road just to the west of the Town of Sonoma and adjacent to Sonoma Creek, home to an abundance of wildlife.

There are Eastern views over the meadow from the project site to the mountains separating Sonoma from Napa Valley.

RESEARCH

Rituals have often been used throughout history to alleviate anxiety and unite people, although they can seem strange and aimless to those unfamiliar with them. Rituals can be based in religious or secular ceremonies and are often associated with food and wine.

Wine tastings are ceremonies – or rituals – devoted to the enjoyment of wine that rely on repetition and connection to others from different times and places. Ritual Winery is meant to celebrate the intersection of people and create an experience visitors will remember for a lifetime.

ritual 9

CONCEPT The various rituals involved in wine, specifically with consuming wine, cherish the ceremony of slowing down and focusing intently on the wine that is being tasted.

The 5 S’s – see, swirl, sniff, sip and savor – are used to reduce the influence other senses might have on the experience of tasting wine.

In a similar sense, Ritual Winery slowly reduces the visitors’ sightlines and

visual access to the outside world. The winery’s stark and orthogonal forms meet in unexpected ways even though they initially seem rigid and inflexible. Spaces within the winery are extended or cut off from others to play with the visitors’ sense of boundaries. Despite the harsh lines that break up the winery, there is always an intersection where they meet to come together.

In ancient Rome, the date April 23rd commemorated the festival Vinalia Urbana, which celebrated the consumption and growth of wine. On that same date, the first light which hits Ritual's courtyard lights up the Polyhedron and can be used as a gathering celebration, connecting the present with the past.

Furniture Design spring 2023

How can a table become usable in a variety of instances?

The main focus of this project is to gain a basis in metal and wood fabrication. As my first venture into into the physical construction of furniture pieces, my primary concern was produciing smooth connections and a visibly attractive yet functional piece.

I wanted the table to appear light, and the metal to hold the wood surfaces in two distinctly different ways to emphasize the various penetrating connections I used. I learned how to plasma cut and weld using the metal skills lab, while I learned to use the table router and construct the table top from the wood skills lab.

IDEATION

My initial sketches focused on taking inspiration from non-furniture items and converting them into side tables. I wanted to keep the proportions of the tables somewhat oversized to keep an air of playfulness to them.

Once I determined that I was basing my design around a plant, I worked through a variety of connections with my professor.

Although we initially considered using a

Digital Ideation

variety of screwed in components, I eventually chose to cut a notch in the lower leaf to allow it to slip onto the metal frame.

I knew that because of my inexperience with metalworking, I wouldn’t be able to ensure that all of the connections would come out like I designed. I wanted to focus on producing a high-quality prototype instead of an overly complex one.

CONCEPT This remodel is meant to nourish new ideas and collaboration between students within the local horticultural community. Students have the opportunity to learn in the large classroom area as well as the teaching kitchen.

Outside of class periods, various comfortable spaces encourage students to stay and form connections with their peers outside of a work environment.

Organic shapes are used to create a

comfortable environment as well as to create visual interest throughout the building and its porches.

The space is flexible, allowing the building to adapt to user needs. There are large interior and exterior sitting and studying areas, and more private spaces for students who might want to work alone.

BLOOM Product Design fall 2021

How can a product appeal to a wide variety of audiences?

The Bloom Electric Kettle is a functional statement piece inspired by vintage tea kettles. The ornate details were smoothed into a sleek, easy to clean, and affordable kettle. This kettle was influenced heavily by market research and conceptual branding.

In order to design, I needed to learn and understand materiality and manufacturing processes.

RESEARCH

The initial stages of this project were focused on evaluating the current market for electric kettles and disassembling and analyzing prexisting products. I read kettle reviews and determined tea and coffee user desires in order to establish how I wanted the kettle to be used and interacted with.

RESEARCH I studied several early 20th century art movements which explored how memory and memory perception were heavily intertwined with emotion, and the expressivness which could be portrayed through the use of a single brushstroke.

Likewise, I was drawn towards the idea of encouraging the sharing and listening of music within my coffee shop, as it is a well

studied form of therapy for people with Alzheimer’s and dementia.

“Several studies showed that people with dementia enjoy music, and their ability to respond to it is preserved even when verbal communication is no longer possible.”

CONCEPT Throughout the design the concept moved from being about music in a literal sense towards embracing the emotional and vulnerable aspects of music and art. Reprise explores how music can unify and move people – both physically and emotionally.

All aspects of the café have a sense of movement to them. Objects bleed into each other, as if the structure itself is being transformed by the music.
