Designing interactive, experiential spaces

Portfolio

“Woven” canopy project, Souvenir Scenic Studios, London, UK

Project Manager for canopy design & construction for the Sarabande Foundation’s “Woven” fundraiser dinner.

Scenery constructed for the Alley Theatre, Houston, TX

Helped build and paint Walls, doors, windows, stairs, floor, and moulding for “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd” (Klara Zieglerova) and “American Mariachi” (Tanya Orellana).

1’ x 1’ x 1’ Welded Steel Cube

Welding project completed during my internship in Scenery at the Alley Theatre, Houston, TX.

Still Brewing Art exhibition at the San Antonio Museum of Art, TX

The Timeline and Adaptive Reuse sections from this exhibit detail the Museum’s history since the campus’ original use as the historic Lone Star Brewery facility. My research produced architectural plans, images, and information on historic events related to the brewing and design history of the campus, all of which helped inform the Timeline and Adaptive Reuse sections of the exhibit. I also gathered stickers from current breweries in the San Antonio area for the sticker board—part of a section in the exhibit that highlights the modern-day brewing scene in the city.

Glazed Sculpture

Inspired by the intertwining network of subway tunnels converging at Grand Central Terminal in NYC, the sculpture’s linking parts can be disassembled and rearranged into countless patterns. The modular sculpture has the potential to be constantly manipulated and reconfigured into a new form.

The Sensory Study Space at Trinity University, San Antonio, TX

Trinity University’s Student Accessibility Services selected me to design the new Sensory Study Space which will open soon in Coates Library on campus. I based my design on research into lighting, texture, color, sound, and accessible and adaptable furniture to accommodate students with a variety of disabilities.
