Graduate Thesis
Affordable Housing
​
My graduate thesis focused on strategies to include lower income current stakeholders to participate in the revitalization that Cincinnati's urban core is experiencing. This affordable housing features 2, 3 and 4 bedroom multigenerational and shared housing models and is anchored by retail and office space.

Creative Arts Center
Wright State University
This design shows a new vision for Wright State University's Creative Arts Center. The current building has been added on to multiple times with little effort at cohesion. The university sought us out to provide ideas for renovation plans that could tie the current disjointed building together while providing new energetic spaces for the growing program.

Westcott House Master Plan
This graduate level studio teamed up with The Westcott House Foundation to assist them with creating a master plan for a block of property adjacent to the Westcott House. The end goal was to repurpose the existing turn of the century houses in order to create a complex to serve teaching, special events, and conference needs.

Through the course of my design work, I have created physical models ranging from existing building case studies to proposed site plans and from models of specific design elements to wind tunnel test models.
