11. LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL: A PLACE FOR REFLECTION
A three week project designing a space for quiet reflection that could appeal to any culture or religion. The space
occupies the second floor of Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The challenge of this project was to design an
interfaith reflective space through form making and light.
The basis for the concept was formed through thinking about spiritual spaces in the natural world, specifically mountains and Finishes
sunrises. These inspired the forms of enclosure and light creating a peaceful respite where users could reflect.

18. LUXURY BATH VILLA: BERGAMO, ITALY
A three week project designing the inner courtyard of a 450 year old villa in the Lombard region of Italy. The villa enclosed
several courtyards, for this project one was chosen to surround a luxurious bath and garden adjacent to the clients bedroom.

meditation, sunning and lounging.

history
I was particularly inspired by the eccentric interests of
the couple while designing the spaces. I wanted to develop
ways in which the spaces, detailing and materials reflected
the couple’s personalities, lifestyle and realtionship. The
male was a Swedish industrialist that enjoyed theatrical
productions, swordsmanship and medieval magic. His wife
was a tempermental Chilean stage actress who enjoyed body
light
art and Arabic calligraphy.

RETAIL DESTINATION

23. PERUTOPIA RETAIL SHOP: BROOKLYN, NY
A two semester project that began with the selection of the site, program and ultimately the concept for the design of
the space. The site is near a waterfront in Brooklyn, NY chosen for its proximity to a park and scenic views. The goal of this
project was to create a retail destination that encouraged gathering, learning and shopping. As a destination, the program
contained a cafe, a gallery/exhibition space and a workshop where weaving methods would be taught.
The building presented a unique design opportunity as it was previously a coal burning industrial warehouse. A 72 ft. trough
remained spanning most of the space. I imagined the trough as an oversived weaving loom running throughout, relating the
space to the products and concept.
Ground Floor
Mezzanine
The products sold are made by Peruvian women using ancient and modern weaving techniques. These techniques along
with the ancient terracing Peruvian ruins of Machu Picchu inspired the design of the interior.

gathering, shopping and learning. Each space is visually
connected, but separated via vertical circulation. The
entrance contained the gallery, cafe and terraced display
under a ceiling of woven ropes. The sales floor is on the
main level along with the cashwrap and support spaces.
Lastly, the workshop is on the mezzanine overlooking
the salesfloor.

27. DIGITAL TEXTILE DESIGN FOR CONTRACT USE
A six week project designing three textile patterns at three scales, creating color lines and explaining underlying
inspirations for each.
My inspiration came from the architecture and concept of my retail destination project. When looking at the section of the
building, I was inspired by the trough structure and I used it to make a large and medium scale pattern. The small scale pattern
was inspired by threads that become unwoven, resulting in wavy lines.
As a collection, this design would best be used for hospitality.
The patterns were created using half drop,
overlays and all-over pattern design techniques.
