DOWNTOWN EXTENSION MASTERPLAN ATHENS, GEORGIA
Downtown Athens is a thriving urban landscape benefited by the neighboring University of Georgia. This project focuses on transforming an existing, poorly developed landscape into an extension of Historical Downtown Athens and a public greenway.
This design welcomes the 2026 World Cup to the United States with a downsized, public use soccer pitch. Multiple open plazas, a tribute to Athens-grown band REM, riverside trail systems, and pedestrian-oriented layouts live in this space. The intention of this urban landscape is to invite the pedestrian. Open plaza spaces and a connection to a public greenway offer multiple avenues for activity within a walkable distance.

RIVERWATCH TRAIL AND BRIDGE AUGUSTA, GEORGIA
The Augusta Canal connects to the Savannah River in eastern Georgia and provides many services to the surrounding communities. When left undisturbed, the bordering land creates special micro-environments.
This project conceptualizes an elevated walk that spans a young wetland, allowing recreation in rare environments. It connects to a canal-passing bridge, and the existing Augusta trail systems.

Creating a balance of open and intimate space is important in residential design. This project is an exploration of using the traditional lawn blueprint and adding additional programming. The ambition was to separate these spaces while creating unity in form.
This design focuses on creating traditional yard spaces while progressing the use of the site. Through plant walls, nooks behind the architecture, and changes in the ground plane, this estate combines multiple programs into a singular space with enough privacy to separate them.
Creating separate spaces can make a small space feel larger. A fire pit lounge, vegetable garden, pool and deck, and large open lawn all exist within the same residence but broken up by natural barriers. Hiding sight lines make these spaces feel like outdoor rooms.
WESTBROOK PARK RENOVATION CORDELE, GEORGIA
Westbrook Park in Cordele, Georgia sits in the footprint of a former building in the heart of historical downtown. The University of Georgia connected students to the city government to redesign the deteriorating park as part of a building rural communities program.
These renderings were shown to city residents in a public tour of upcoming renovations, and were provided to the City of Cordele to aid in fundraising the improvements.
PRINCETON VETERAN”S MEMORIAL PARK
PRINCETON, TEXAS
Princeton Veteran’s Memorial Park is the frontrunning park in Princeton, Texas’ $100 million+ park expansion project. The intent for the park was to create an atmosphere rivaled by few parks worldwide and draw business and development to Princeton.
Project kick-off began with creating a package of surreal renderings and design vision drawings to communicate a story of total reinvention. Large, grandiose elements like overhead sky bridges, uplit canopies, splahspads, and waterwalls created the ideal Princeton, Texas atmosphere.

GARBER CREEK RANCH AND LODGE
CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO
The American West is home to over 80,000 wild horses and burros... about 55,000 too many.
Protected by the Wild Free Roam and Horses Act, these animals roam the millions of acres of western public land, overgrazing and overpopulating faster than the environment can handle.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is responsible for managing a large majority of herd land and populations. Appropriate Management Level (AML) is a standard set by the BLM that is equivalent to the carrying capacity of an environment; it measures how many horses and burros an environment can sustain before degrading the quality.
Their goal is to manage these overpopulated herds through adoption, sterilization, and involved supplementation. While they are the largest mangagement organization of horse and burro herds, their estimates, and the ones referenced on these graphics, do not account for unmanaged herds, herds managed by the United States Forest Service, and National Parks on the East Coast.
Herds have exclusive land with unique management Nevada holds over 80% of America’s wild horses
