I AM MOTIVATED BY NATURE AND CULTURE WITH ITS UNEXPECTED INCLUSION IN ANY TYPE OF SPACE, FOCUSED ON FINDING DESIGN SOLUTIONS BY EMBRACING OBSTACLES DURING EACH PHASE OF THE PROCESS, AMBITIOUS FOR COLORS AND TEXTURES THAT ADD PERSONALITY TO AN INTERIOR AND CENTERED ON CREATING MEMORABLE SPACES IN ORDER TO ELEVATE AN ALL-INCLUSIVE EXPERIENCE.
DURING THE DESIGN PROCESS, MY STRENGHT HAS BEEN CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT, LEADING TO SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES INSPIRED BY THE DECONSTRUCTION OF ECCENTRIC ELEMENTS, BY INTERPRETING THESE CONCEPTS INTO INTERIOR SPACES THAT ACCOMPLISH THE DESIRED OBJECTIVE, CONSISTING OF INNOVATIVE AND EXPERIENTIAL ENVIRONMENTS. LEARNING HAS MADE ME GROW NOT ONLY AS A DESIGNER BUT AS A PROBLEM SOLVER WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT THAT RESONATES WITH AND ALTERS THE WAY HUMANS LIVE AND EXPERIENCE THE WORLD BY EMPHASIZING THE ART AND THE BEAUTY OF THE SEEN AND UNSEEN.
AMBITIOUS WITHIN THE DESIGN FIELD, I STRIVE FOR SUCCESS THROUGH COLLABORATION AND COMMUNICATION WHICH AREHTHE MOST PROMINENT FACTORS THAT HAVE HELPED ME GROW AND LEARN FROM THE NEVERENDING WORLD US DESIGNERS ARE PROUD TO BE PART OF. BEING ABLE TO LEARN FROM THE VARIETY OF ARTISTS AND DESIGNERS AVAILABLE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST PLEASURES FOR INFINITE INSPIRATION I WILL ALWAYS HAVE.

CORPORATE DESIGN
*ALL DISPLAYED WORK IS MINE UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED*
A HIGHLY COLLABORATIVE SPACE THAT WILL BE USED AS A MULTIFUNCTION SUITE. THE TENANTS OCCUPYING THE SPACE WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH A FURNITURE DEALER TO ACCUMULATE A FURNITURE PACKAGE THAT I AM ASSIGNED TO USE AS REFERENCE TO COME UP WITH A FUNCTIONAL FURNITURE LAYOUT AND CEILING DESIGNS USING ACOUSTIC CEILING SYSTEMS.

BETWEEN THE 52ND AND 53RD STREET LOBBIES, A REFRESH OF THE BUILDING CORE TOOK PLACE, ALONG WITH CLEANING THE CREAM COLORED TRAVERTINE WALLS OF THE CIGARETTE SMOKE, INSTALLING SIGNAGE BY PENTAGRAM, AND REFURBISHING THE ELEVATOR CABS. AS COMPANIES CONTINUE TO LURE MEPLOYEES BACK TO THE OFFICE, MORE BUILDINGS ARE OFFERING AMENTITES TO HELP THEM DO SO. LOBBIES ARE NOW LOUNGES AND ONCE HIDDEN AWAY SPACES ARE TRANSFORMED INTO PLACES FOR LEARNING, EATING, AND SOCIALIZING. AND, IF WISELY RENOVATED, A BUILDING LIKE 51W52 CAN COMBINE HEROIC MODERNISM WITH FEATURES ATTRACTIVE TO A NEW GENERATION OF OFFICE WORKERS.

4 EBB + FLOW
INSPIRED BY CHEF ERIC RIPERT, THERE IS ONLY HERE AND NOW, AN OCEAN IN CONSTANT MOVEMENT. EBB AND FLOW (ALSO CALLED EBB AND FLOOD AND FLOOD DRAIN) ARE TWO PHASES OF THE TIDE OR ANY SIMILAR MOVEMENT OF WATER. THE EBB IS THE OUTGOING PHASE, WHEN THE TIDE DRAINS AWAY FROM THE SHORE; AND THE FLOW IS THE INCOMING PHASE WHEN WATER RISES AGAIN.
THE BEST TIME TO LOOK FOR SEA CREATURES IN TIDAL POOLS IS WHEN THE TIDE IS ON THE EBB MEANING IT HAS RECEDED FROM THE SHORE. EBB IS OFTEN USED IN THE PHRASE, "EBB AND FLOW," REFERRING TO THE CYCLICAL CHANGING OF THE TIDES FROM LOW TO HIGH AND BACK TO LOW AGAIN.
