RIPPLE EFFECT
DESCRIPTION
a series of immersive avant-garde installations inserted into utilitarian spaces that serve to sensorially engage and captivate users within the workplace. through the intersection of fine arts and interior design, the built environment can be transformed using light, movement and sound concepts stemming from the WELL building standard. as the world has shifted so digital, it is essential to attract energy back into transient and evocative physical environments designed to stimulate psychological wellness.

SPRING 2021 [PARTNER PROJECT]
DESCRIPTION
redesign the cincinnati children's hospital's cafeteria space focused around a specific concept. our goal is to create an experiential cafe within cincinnati childrens hospital that not only accommodates hospital staff in terms of providing a quick, but fulfilling meal between surgeries, but also provides a safe, happy place for patients and their loved ones (and furry friends) to spend some quality time and lift their spirits during their stay.

POETRY FOUNDATION
DESCRIPTION
design a public poetry foundation mainly consisting of a lobby, library, gallery and performance space within a previously surveyed plot of land in over-the-rhine, cincinnati. my design focuses on the idea of compression in poetry, and how a poem is a compressed version of a narrative. through the use of natural light & surveyed sun paths at the site, the angles of the sun bring the concept to fruition.
PROGRAMS

PERSONAL WORK
DESCRIPTION
in 2015 I found a passion for the art of makeup. being able to use anyone's face as a blank canvas has always excited me. as I began to advertise my account, I was able to start my own small business locally doing makeup for girls all around my area and making them feel extra beautiful, no matter the occasion.
