This project, an urban grocery store

in the Old City section of Knoxville,TN, is situated within a renovationspace. Associated work includesinterior design work such as color studies and selection, as well asfurniture consultation, design, andappropriation. Graphic work andrendering, as well as as-built andproposed design modeling was

generated for both marketing (website and print) and future develop-ment/use. In addition, event plan-ing and exhibit coordinationresponsibilities are also part of thisproject.



In addition to design work with theactual space of aisle 9, I am also incharge of the day-to-day operationof the business itself. Local Love is aseasonal event that centers aroundFirst Friday, local growing cycles,and aisle 9ʼs desire to foster as

many local vendor connections asfeasible. Event planning, vendor liasions, menu consultation, and allgraphics & press are my responsi-bility. The event was such a successthat the February 4 event becamean inaugural event that is now arecurring one.



This committee position not only in-volves standard participation suchas meeting attendance, event plan-

ing, and seminars/webinars, butalso includes all print media prod-uction for the east tn usgbc. Frombanners, postcards, press packages,sponsorship media, vendor boothinformation and signage, seminar and meeting announcements, andemail signatures, to website work,producing articles for the newsletter and project profiles, I generate allgraphics for our chapter. Pleasesee http://www.etnusgbc.org/ for more in-depth examples of my workwith the chapter.



This project consists of two spaceson the Maryville College campus.A main building, comprised of a

1200 seat capacity prosceniumauditorium, a 400 seat flex theatre,professional and educationalsupport spaces, art galleries andmusic educational facilities is toserve both community and thecollege. The smaller educationalbuilding serves the campusspecifically. State of the art

acoustics and art lab spaces bringa quality to performance unlikeanything else in the area.



This project, a proposed renovationto the older cathedral (built in 1908),was a marketing package that was

produced primarily by me. Workingunder extremely limited supervision,I proposed design strategies,both modeled and drawn, andsmall-scale site studies. Additionally,I prepared all preliminary occupancy,usage, and code estimations for theprovisional project. All graphics,programming, and code adherency

were my responsibility. Project iscurrently pending approval by thelocal Diocese.



This was an interior build-out andrenovation within the downtownKnoxville post office. The build-outwas historical, and therefore poseddifficulties with occupancy/fire codeand construction codes. Taking itscues from the open, airy lobby, thenew construction consisted of glass-enclosed offices, and open floor layout for administration, andimproved facilities for employees(storage, vaulting, and break rooms).Much care was taken to preservethe detail of the original building,

while updating the feel and thefunction of the building itself.



The Kingsport Center for Higher Ed-ucation is a facility, of approximately54,000 gross square feet. It is

currently in process for certificationfor LEED NC. Concurrently, ORNLBuilding 1059 is undergoingcertification for LEED EB O&M. Iproduced LEED documentation for both of these projects, in bothgraphic and narrative forms.Furthermore, I also performed tasksusing the LEED online system, and

had access and responsibility for thedocumentation of specific strategiesand credits.

This project involved demonstratingthree-dimensional space within thecontext of a 60 second film. Myconcept centered around the ideaof production (creating a collage)

and exploring temporality, space,and layering within the work. Uponfilming the making of the collage, Ireversed the footage, creating asort of palimpsest and examiningthe collage as a palindrome withinthe film. The two-dimensional partof the project derived from a seriesof still photographs that I took of

the process, thereby creating twodifferent senses of temporality andspace.

The new urban living project calledfor a habitable job sign: a surfacethat could be occupied, but alsoalluded to future use and develop-ment. I explored the notion of surface in this assignment: the

blurring between sidewalk and sign,between facade and habitablespace. During the two weeks thatI worked, I used techniques of layering and collage, screenprintand model, in order to further mydesign.

The Knoxville Center for Transientis a gallery sited within the Neyland

parking garage. Adjacent is a SRO,which services both tourists andnatives. How does one separate theoccupable zones? Also, how canthe units be both anonymous andpersonal simultaneously? Thesequestions formed the crux of theassignment. By inserting a greenlandscape within the urban hard-

scape (both on the site proper andwithin the SRO facades) the sitebecomes connected to the naturalelement of the river and the green-way, while maintaining a separationfrom the garage itself.



My understanding of the site derivesfrom three sources: the past of thesite, the extant conditions of theplace, and the imagined future of the site/usage. The past of the sitecomes from histories, photographs,and maps. The conditions for thepresent come from photographs,drawings, and diagrams. Thecollages are the inspiration and arealso part of the process for

understanding the site in situ. Thistechnique of defamiliarizationcollapses the temporal experienceof the site: the relics of the past thatpersist in the present are the stagefor the future, and inform the design.



I designed the UN Center for Sustainability around the East River and the far end of the site. The sitestrategy was based on the idea of

anchoring the plaza site. Also, bydesigning a series of paths andlawns, the art on site was fullyintegrated within the plaza. Further access was created by the loggia,which created an alternate entranceto the plaza, which began to createa series of zones of differing typesof occupation. Finally, the main

element of the center was placedwithin the East River, in order tocapitalize on the energy potentialof the water.
