First, I would like to dedicate this portfolio first to my fiance, Peter, for his unending, constant support in my pursuit of being able to say, “I love what I do.”
Second, I would like to dedicate this portfolio to my AiCA-SD instructors, Jack Beduhn, FAIA and Jessica Newman, who taught me how to hand sketch and render with accuracy and ease. Without you, I would not be
the designer I am today. Thank you.

Bar with Kitchen View

SOLUTION:
• Since the cuisine was fresh, seasonal coastal California cuisine, the idea of a changing menu inspired the idea of different experiences in different dining areas.
• A small show kitchen is incorporated into the Spring Room, but also adjacent to the boutique, which sells organic products made in the kitchen such as jams and jellies.
• A bar height dining area is also available in front of the main kitchen for diners who want to watch how their food is being prepared.

Spring Dining Room
• The concept for the Spring Room was inspired by elements from a garden.
• The tall column-like pillars are custom designed to fuse plants and water.
• A large ceramic bowl with foliage sits at the top and spirals off the sides as water flows down the pillar.
• In the center of the room is a pool of octagon shaped pool that reflect the architecture of the Spring Room.

Google An existing 2nd floor space at 1170 Market Street,San Francisco, CA To create a Golden Gate Park inspired corporate office that follows the whimsical and unique nature of existing Google offices
The difficulty with this project lied in the fact that it needed to reflect Google and San Francisco. Choosing a San Francisco element while maintaing the corporate, whimsical culture of Google was complicated.

Google Green Headquarters Lobby Sketch
SOLUTION:
• As this was Google Corporate Green Headquarters, one very essential questions emerged - What is the greenest part of San Francisco? Golden Gate Park.
• Therefore, my solutions were inspired by the park itself, which included natural materials in conjunction with the smell of grass, especially as you enter the lobby.
• The visual and sensual connection with grass would intentionally remind Google employees of their responsibility to be green.

• This lobby rendering was essential to the idea of branding Google.
• From the first moment someone steps into the lobby of Google Green, they will see boxes of fresh grass under punctured acrylic, square panels.
• Since these grass boxes are recessed into the floor, they are not in the way.
• Everyone who enters the lobby, however, will be able to smell the grass because the acrylic panels allows the smell of grass to pass through.
• Clients and employees alike are also welcomed by natural materials such as reclaimed wood and grass ottomans.

• The conference room needed to seat 30 people, which was a challenge in itself during the space planning phase.
• Center pivot doors were incorporated into the design so that the space could be private as well as public.
• It was important that such a large space be accessible in the event of a social large gathering or for a similar type of event.

• For the design of this long wall, 3 Form resin panels are placed at both ends of the corridor.
• Custom wrapped panels featuring natural motifs enhance the connection to the outdoors.

Design is the application of intent -
the opposite of happenstance,
