WETLAND DESIGN
ANALYSIS
Locate housing types and access points for trail design.
ategori e soils and egetation, then find a reference ecosystem in Davis. Coordinate wetland with nearby pond, pumps, and suburban storm runoff.
GOALS
Provide trail accessibility for apartments and townhomes, vegetation buffer for single family homes.
Create gathering areas with gazebos and benches along trails.
Observation decks and plaques engage users, especially students, families, and children.

STRATEGIES

Walk through the site for opporunities and constraints. Pinpoint potential weak spots in infrastructure: food accessibility, bike lanes, retail.
Construct peripheral design standards for the site to encourage affordable housing development, amenities for families and students, and sa er tra fic in rastructure.

ANALYSIS
Visited the site to photograph hydrology, vegetation, and animal usage of the local ecology.
Identified soil profile by auger and wet thread test. onducted an analysis o soil types through online databases.
tudied ood animations and historical maps to accurately redesign ood plains. Researched endangered animals in the local area for additional redesign precautions and opportunities.

Trails and recreation areas should promote education o local ecology and habitat restoration.
STRATEGIES

Trails should be accessible to promote e ercise and education o amilies, children, eldery, and those with physical disabilities.

ACCESSIBILITY
Trail loops be ore the bridge will be graded at allowing or wheelchair and stroller usage. dditionally, the final designs or the restoration pro ect are in hand drawn watercolors or an accessible mar eting strategy. ble bodied people and landscape architects should not be the only ones to en oy and understand design and habitat restoration.

STUDIES & ZINES
STRATEGIES
As I walked through the sites I was patient to notice the aspects of each park, open space, or front yard that made it welcome or unwelcome. These aspects included territoriality, boundaries, seating, signage/wayfinding, shade, buildings, and accessibility. I Analyzed a 6 mile transect of Davis, CA travelling East along Russell Blvd turning North onto Pole Line Rd. The transect focused on parks, front yards, and open spaces. The analysis expanded on usage of the space, activities, diverse users, and availability of amenities. Access to seating became an emphasis throughout this project.

BENCH ZINE
IMPACTS
Zines were sold at the local farmers market and prompted a “scavenger hunt” of sorts between customers. Copies of these zines now live in the Landscape Architecture & Environmental Design library on campus.
GOALS
Inspired by “Be Seated” by Laurie Olin, these zines were made in an effort to promote park usage and the importance of accesibility in public seating. From my own personal experience living in cities with sit-lie laws and anti-homeless architecture, public benches are essential to forming communities.

PERSONAL WORK
MICRONS AND PILOT PENS
Much of my inspiration for being a designer comes from the every day. I so much en oy finding the o erlap o natural and built landscapes. hether it be a mailbo in o ergrown grass, a multi amily unit in the all, or a tree gra ting itsel onto an older trun .

PATIENCE AND FOCUS
Being a novice tattoo artist has given me so much appreciation for artforms that transcend paper. imilar to landscape design, tattooing is a process that re uires analysis, s ill, and results in ery permanent conse uences. earning the patience and ocus to complete a traditional handpo ed tattoo without a machine is grounding and humbling. dditionally, being able to gi e others a way to empower themsel es through design is something I loo orward to as I continue in my career.
