Each student was tasked with finding a real project and applying research to the building within context of a key design or social issue. Requirements included multiple oral presentations throughout the semester (schematic design, design development), a large research and process binder, as well as a final senior show, open to the public, in which we would present and display our work.

Academic: Corporate Headquarters
This project required students to develop a full project from concept development and schematic design, to design development, and through the production of a full construction document set.
Academic: Concept Boards
Many courses in the Interior Design program required research of art movements and their effects on architecture. Below are examples of concept boards I created for the Glassgow Style, a variation of Art Nouveau. Also included is a research poster which accompanied a larger research project and paper.
Interior Sketches
As part of the Interior Design program at UNT, we were required to sketch interior spaces from our lives. We had to journal about the spaces, discussing how they affected the senses, their purpose and functionality, and other factors that play into how a space is used.
Academic: Portfolio Review – Coffee Shop
To get into the Interior Design program, all sophomores had to participate in a semester long project which culminated in a portfolio review. Students were tasked with taking an existing space in the UNT Art Building and designing it as a Coffee Shop. The following is a selection of my hand drafting work, 3D modeling, and design planning for my portfolio.
University Artworks
The following works are from my formal art courses while at the University of North Texas. Selected artworks were completed in my Drawing I (ART 1500), Drawing II (ART 1510), Design I (ART 1400), and Design II (ART 1450) courses.
