Photography, fabrication, material experimentation, building technology, furniture, and physical models.
This project explores how GIS data can be transformed into tactile, flexible, and information-rich physical maps using direct inkjet-based 3D printing onto fabric. I also wanted to explore how visually impaired individuals can use these maps and halftones to experience the city in a unique way.
During my semester in Rome, I took a photography course that looked at photography as a means to visual interpretation and authorship. I investigated diverse approaches to image making with the camera and developed a body of work referencing my Rome experience, including a zine for the course.

Through this process, I examined the unexpected outcomes that can occur when tweaking material and firing conditions.
These are investigations from my Building Technology courses, showing building analysis, technical studies, diagrams, and explorations of environmental and construction systems.
Inspired by the curves of my signature, I explored twisting and bending as expressions of movement, continuity, and connection. This concept shaped the chair's form, creating fluid transitions between surfaces while enhancing comfort and reinforcing the relationship between structure, function, and the human body.
A series of working and conceptual models created over the course of my education, including paper, wood, metal, and 3D-fabricated models.
