27 About Me
"When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong."
-R. Buckminster Fuller
A Space for Seniors: Lexington's Elderly Getaway at Turfland Design Studio VI Spring 2013 The Turfland Mall is an abandoned mall facility in Southwest Lexington. As part of the program for this project, I relocated the Lexington Senior Citizen's Center onto the site and proposed commercial businesses geared toward this specific demographic. The main aspect of the design was to create a "Main Street, USA" feel to the project area. This was achieved by implementing wide pedestrian corridors, an abundance of on-street parking, and unique and inviting storefronts with designated outdoor seating, all surrounding the Senior Citizens' Center.

UK's New Backyard:
Part of the EPA Campus Rainworks Competition Design Studio V Fall 2012 As part of the EPA Campus Rainworks Competition, my group was tasked with redesigning the "Shawneetown" Area of the University of Kentucky's Campus. With its proximity to the College of Agriculture and the University Arboretum, we envisioned the area to be the "Backyard of the University." Along with designing the site in a way to mitigate flooding and other water-related problems, we also complied with the University's 50-year plan for the site in regard to building use and other specific program elements.

"I think what we're talking about is the poetry of space - that's what landscape design is about."
-Dan Kiley
Green Living On Prall Street Design Studio V Fall 2012 The theme for this project was sustainability. After calculating my own "ecological footprint," I then set out to design a sustainable community of singleoccupancy dwelling units in Central Lexington, mere blocks from UK's campus. After designing a living unit that was less than one thousand cubic feet in volume, I created a layout with ten units on a quarter-acre site. The units surround a community garden and the site is graded to catch excess rainwater to be re-used for irrigation. Each unit is also equipped with solar panels on their roofs and can be independently positioned to harvest the greatest amount of sunlight.

Family Fitness Fun! At Coldstream Research Campus Working Drawings Fall 2013 For my working drawings course, I was tasked with designing an outdoor fitness facility. The design was to include a parking area, a main building with a service area, a "par-course" with 18 exercise stations, as well as a central viewing and demonstration area. After the initial design, I added layout, grading, storm drainage, planting, lighting, and irrigation plans.

A Gateway to UK:
Planning for the Future Design Workshop Sponsored Charrette As part of the Design Workshop sponsored "Open Spaces, Sacred Places" design charrette, my group attempted to transform a recently acquired University property into a new "gateway" for the school. Loosely based on the current 20-year master plan, our design included a new entrance for UK, with several new multi-use buildings that included a visitor's center and generalpurpose student center. Green spaces and pedestrian paths were also included to help connect this space with the rest of campus.

about me I was born and raised in a small, and very rural, town in Western Kentucky. Being raised on a small farm, I learned the value of hard work and dedication early. Throughout my scholastic career, I have strived to employ these values in each of my projects. Although my skills as a designer have been constantly growing and evolving these last five years, the one constant that I hang my hat on is my work ethic. I am a team player, first and foremost, and I never shy away from any responsibility thrust upon my shoulders. I have continuously demonstrated my versatility in my abilities to play any role on the team from member to manager. Eventually, I want to be considered as one of the best landscape architects of my generation. And I believe that it will be my diligence, determination, and attention to detail that will take me to that level.
