HIGHLIGHTS
The projects featured on this site represent a curated collection of work that highlights my growth as a designer and the diverse range of skills I’ve developed over the years. Each one reflects a different aspect of my design journey, from early conceptual explorations to more refined, built-ready solutions. Together, they showcase a variety of design typologies, scales, and challenges, including residential, institutional, and experimental work. These projects are not only examples of technical ability and creativity, but also markers of how my perspective has evolved, blending practicality with purpose, and aesthetics with empathy. Whether it’s designing for well-being, sustainability, or spatial experience, each piece has contributed to shaping the thoughtful and intentional approach I bring to design today.

FLOW AND FOCUS
Living
Flow and Focus is a student accommodation concept located in Sligo, Ireland, designed to transform an existing structure into a space that supports both productivity and well-being. The design is guided by a meaningful concept rooted in balance, creating an environment where calm and concentration coexist. Every element, from shared communal areas to private rooms, is thoughtfully considered to foster academic focus while offering comfort and personal retreat. The result is a space that encourages clarity, connection, and a sense of home for its residents.
The concept for this design is the movement of water. The Garavogue River, the site’s most defining natural feature, serves as a powerful symbol of fluidity, transformation, and resilience. Water is never static—it flows, carves its own path, and adapts to its surroundings. This ever-changing motion reflects our deep connection to nature and the cycles of life. By embodying the movement of water, design can create a sense of fluidity, energy, and connection to the natural world. Flowing lines, organic shapes, and reflective materials can capture its essence, evoking a space that feels alive and ever-changing.

CUSTOM SAWHORSE
Design
2024-2025
36 WEEKS
This sawhorse was designed around an abstract joinery concept, translating a structural idea into a functional, built form. The design process involved careful research, sketch development, and technical drawing to ensure both stability and visual clarity. The final construction was based on precise plans, with close collaboration between design and build teams to bring the concept to life. The result is a sculptural yet purposeful piece that reflects the intersection of creativity, craftsmanship, and clear communication.
The sawhorse design was inspired by the rotary phone, a staple of the 70s and 80s, known for its curved form, wired connections, and the way the handset easily sat onto and lifted from its base. This concept was first developed through the custom wood joinery, which mimicked the loose yet fitted connection of the phone to its stand, and was refined through several design iterations. Additional elements reinforce the inspiration, including the bungee cord representing the phone’s wire, curved edges that echo its form, and the ability for the sawhorse to be disassembled with ease, reflecting the phone’s removable components.

CAPITOL THEATRE
Project
The Capitol Theatre renovation reimagines a historic cultural landmark in Windsor, Ontario, with the goal of engaging a new generation of visitors while honoring the building’s architectural heritage. The design encompasses multiple spaces within the theatre, including the Joy Theatre, ArtCite gallery, bar and lounge, WIFF offices, lobby, restrooms, and support areas such as the basement, coat check, and administrative offices. The approach balances preservation and modernisation, retaining key historical elements while introducing updated materials, lighting, and spatial layouts that reflect contemporary aesthetics and functionality. This project explores how heritage spaces can evolve to remain culturally relevant, vibrant, and accessible for future audiences.
The red rose is a traditional flower used to represent passion, elegance, and connections. These elements are all a part of a theatre experience from seeing the passionate performers to elegant dancers or the employees who have a deep connection with the history of the theatre which is why the concept for the capitol theatre is a red rose. The rose is made of several parts such as the stem, thorns, petals, and buds which all play a role in how the concept will be implemented into the design. The thorns on the rose can be implemented with sharp lines, textures, and bold design. The petals of the rose are delicate, and each bloom represents different stories in our lives which can be implemented through organic lines, historical elements that connect us with the past, and movement in design. The red rose is very contrasting from the sharpness of the thorns to the softness of the petals so implementing contrast and variety while having harmony is important in the design. The red rose will be the heart and soul of the project and will be the driving force for design selections

MICROHOME
Design
This microhome interior was designed within a pre-defined architectural shell, with a clear set of spatial requirements that guided the layout. The concept was inspired by the work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, whose minimalist philosophy challenged me to adopt a design language far removed from my usual style. Embracing this contrast allowed me to explore new ways of thinking about space, restraint, and clarity in design. The process included hands-on model-making and iterative spatial testing, which helped refine the layout and ensure functional flow within a compact footprint. The result is a considered, intentional space that balances simplicity with livability.
The heart and soul of this project is based on the concept of glass. Glass can be interpreted in many different ways, with a variety of characteristics that make it an ideal focus for Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s home. This concept was chosen to reflect van der Rohe’s architectural style, often seen in modern skyscrapers and homes with expansive windows and open space. The qualities of glass are expressed through materials, color selection, lines, shapes, and furniture choices. Implementing this concept not only unifies the space but also allows van der Rohe’s signature style to shine through the design.

LIBRARY REDESIGN
Design
This library renovation project was a collaborative effort between myself and classmates Kaitlyn Fazekas, Caroline Conlon, and Anna Rickard. Tasked with redesigning the existing St. Clair College library, we aimed to transform the outdated space into a welcoming, functional, and inclusive environment for both students and staff. Our design process included site analysis, user research, conceptual development, and detailed planning to ensure that the space met a variety of needs. From quiet study zones to collaborative work areas, the layout was developed with flexibility and accessibility in mind. The result is a contemporary and student-focused redesign that encourages learning, comfort, and community.
Workspaces are a vital part of our day; young adults need a space tosupport their stress levels and harness creativity. The concept of daylightwill be driving this innovative library design to create a warm welcoming environment for students and staff. Often symbolizingintellectualthought, and prosperity, daylight is a central element to allgrowth and life. Through the library redesign, the use of a bright andairycolourpalette, organic lines, intricate light and shadow detail, andnatural elements will provide a warmsafe havenfor allstudents to thrive and grow
