A boutique coworking space focuses on fostering a like-minded community. It has been designed with all the advantages and resources of a traditional office, converging with the ease and comfort of working from home.

A flexible mix of public, private, and semi-private work and meeting space areas allow each client the ability to customize their experience based on their unique working and communication habits. A sophisticated palette and vintage modern aesthetic, featuring uncluttered styling, is adaptable to any client brand and image.

A second location of the boutique coworking space maximizes user efficiency through the layout of public, private, and semi-private work and meeting areas, while creating a natural ease of circulation throughout the office.

The concept for a lower-story retail space features an interior building structure, playing with the relationship between the user, the space they occupy, and their retail experience. This provides innovative small-business entrepreneurs an opportunity to engage their offerings with the public through a more hands-on and focussed effort.

A leading, local beer and wine purveyor was seeking to obtain city licensing to open a high-end, boutique wine store featuring retail space, consultative sales offices, a bar for wine tasting, and a large seminar room, all incorporating innovative touch-screen technology.

To sell the concept design the owner and I collaborated to create, I made a series of renderings depicting several views of the delineated areas of the store, as well as an overall floor plan of the retail space. The renderings were created using Sketch-Up software, along with Adobe InDesign and Photoshop.

A competition entry, asking for a unique design approach to one of a trio of office “living rooms”, offers a clever and inviting environment where designers feel comfortable inventing, collaborating, and engaging with others.

The use of bright accent colors, layered textures, and whimsical details supports a sense of creativity, playfulness, and comfort, while providing visual interest and depth, as well as effective noise-control management.

A picturesque, lake-front, home redesign generates a creatively engaging space that welcomes family and friends, alike.

The concept features farmhouse details, custom furniture pieces repurposed from vintage cabinetry, and open glass shelves to display an eclectic assemblage of collected objects and personal treasures.

This quiet, light-infused retreat creates a tranquil respite for an active client.

An airy and comfortable design, mingling midcentury-modern details with a soft palette of colors, highlights clean lines and an ethereal sensibility, forming the perfectly restful setting.

A broad objective to design a museum allows the opportunity to create an immersive experience concept where the visitor will be engaged to the museum by the specific and unique nature of the design and exhibit installations.

The intent of this museum space is to change the preconceived notions about the exhibition experience through the use of visual stimuli. This is achieved by creating an opportunity for adults to engage and interact with art installations, challenging traditional perceptions of space and form, and eliciting their instinct to actively participate in the museum experience, rather than passively observe.

An independent living community, housing active seniors looking for a effortless retirement option, offers both studio and 2-bedroom, apartment homes.

Each resident apartment home is designed to be the utmost in single-level living, accented by bright, spacious layouts to be adaptable to any lifestyle. Additional amenities include on-site dining accommodations, as well as a generous lobby, well-suited for socializing around the fireplace.

CONCEPT

Connections are created when people are engaged in their public spaces, building stronger communities. Pathways are the languages we use to communicate varying forms of engagement and create and classify types of social congruence. All community members have points they need to engage with as they circulate through the routines of their daily lives. It is what happens in the moments between these points that create user journey experiences.

PROPOSAL

Transitional routes will be composed and manipulated to create navigational pathways that will lead users through a re-imagined urban farmer’s marketplace. The site will preserve necessary commuter efficiency and functionality but with the additional purpose of improving individual and community quality of life in the altering of expected circulation patterns and by providing a necessary service.

GOALS

To improve the community by serving a vulnerable community facing a food desert situation and individuals who face barriers to healthy eating - including transportation and mobility, time constraints and unforeseen circumstances. The mission is to extend availability to those seeking to purchase quality, affordable and convenient food items and to design a space that supports a business that creates a positive social change. The goal is to properly integrate this design to create a positive and engaging user experience without negatively influencing those who selectively choose not to engage in the transitional route.
