01 | Continuous Cantilever Chair | 2023
Inspired by the Cantilever Chair designed by architect Mart Stam, the goal of this portmanteau is to use continuous planes in order add a shelf and be structurally sound enough to lack back legs. Constructed using a single sheet of 4’x8’ sheet of birch plywood and wooden dowels, parametric spacing allowed it to interact with it’s environment through light and shadow. Altogether, this piece serves the three purposes as art, seating, and storage.

Streetcar Pavilion | 2023
The goal of this pavilion was to combine both the rigidity of a expanded structural grid with the softness of fabric in order to have flow, harmony and comfort. The scaffold platforms allow pedestrians create an opportunity for pedestrians to climb and explore as they wait for the New Orleans Streetcar.

Folded Fern Lamp | 2022
This hanging light fixture experiments with the folding and distortion of the Polypodium Glycyrrhiza fern. When illuminated, the glow from the cutouts represents the vascular current of the fern. This lamp was inspired by organic structure of the fern blades. In the initial study models, there was an emphasis on the movement of the leaves, which heavily inspired the direction of this lamp.

Paper Shadow Models
A single sheet of printer paper was cut and folded to experiment with light and shadow through abstractions of the plant. When unfolded, all of these models return to the original shape of the paper as no pieces were cut off, only folded and cut into.

Final Iteration
Many iterations of the lantern were created using cardboard and trace paper before the final piece was made using museum board, vellum, and wire.

07 | Disaster Relief Center Interior Intervention | 2023
The transformation of a library annex to a disaster relief center, this space is designed to be flexible to suit the needs of its users. Each natural disaster has it’s own set of demands, and this space uses flexible walls to accommodate these needs. A timber beam system with tracks are spaced our throughout the building in a grid. The tracks allow for moving panels to be installed to close off and delineate different spaces.
