Scottish Exhibition Design
My Scottish Exhibition project was focused on integrating culture into the design process. The goal of this design project was to create a social exhibition for a low-income area that encouraged local students to prosper.
This studio work displays my design process, floor plan development, abilities to hand draft and compose elevations and the skill to chose finishes and materials.

Second Floor Orthopedic Clinic Design
This project included re-designing a orthopedic health clinic space. I worked with two other classmates to develop a successful and ADA approved design. Our concept centered on rejuvenation. Our goal was to incorporated natural elements to promote health and healing on our patients. Their comfort was our main priority.
This project displays my ability to compose a successful health care facility based on ADA requirement research and design research. This project demonstrations my abilities to compose a design in Sketch Up and AutoCAD and finilize our boards in the InDesign program.
Bombs Away Cafe Renovation
This project included renovating a current cafe located in Corvallis, Oregon. This project demonstrates my ability to not only work in a team but also with an actual client. We had a professional meeting with the client prior to discuss their goals and needs for the space. My teammates and I composed this project in two-weeks and professionally presented our concept development and design to the client.
Business Plan 2013 Project
This project required me to work alongside another team member to develop a business plan. It displays my ability to work well with others, to critically think and explore a business in-depth.
Rendered Perspectives
During this process we developed a hospitality business in Bend, Oregon that specializes in restaurant development and renovations. This progression included researching competition, developing marketing strategies and composing financial statements. This project presents how we developed a successful business based on research findings.
