Client: Nancy Nickerson
Deliverables: Website - design, programming, maintenance
I was asked to help provide an online presence for Nancy Nickerson’s election run in Farmington, CT. As a Town Council candidate, Nancy wanted to provide information about herself and her position while at the same time making it easy for the residents to contact her. Establishing an online presence has allowed her to reach an additional demographic.
The site was run off of WordPress.
UPDATE : Nancy won the Town Council Seat.

Deliverables: Website - design, programming, maintenance
The Green Element was developed as a method to not only aggregate articles and links regarding sustainability, but to provide scale to the topic. The articles were broken down into categories dependent on the level of impact the sustainability initiative pertains. The concept was to help individuals better understand at what level action can be taken. This portal also helped to further promote the topic of sustainability.
The site used WordPress for content management and was based off of the Futurosity Smashing Magazine design template.

Project Location: Cambridge, MA
Deliverables: Design, 3D model
We had a lot of books, a lot. From all the literary top books and writing guides to architecture and web design, there was just too many for the simple built-in bookshelf and IKEA shelves we had in the condo. The second bedroom (the White Room) was actually used as more of a study. Rather than simply buying more IKEA shelves like we did for the lounge, we decided a large built-in solution would be best.
To maximize space, I incorporated a secretary’s desk within the design. This allowed us to get rid of the huge glass desk I had and opened up the floor space when the desk is not in use.
I designed the piece using SketchUp, had contractors install it, and then we did the painting.
Client: City of Somerville
Project Location: Gilman Square, Somerville, MA
Deliverables: Redevelopment proposal
This project was developed during my “Green Urban Design and Placemaking” graduate course at Tufts University. The course centered around the US Green Building Council’s LEED for Neighborhood Development Pilot Program. This certification program expands the LEED requirements to ensure that a project considers its impact on the great neighborhood, not just the plot of land being (re)developed. Each group in the class was assigned one project site within Somerville, MA.
There were no cost limitations to the project. The only real requirement was that the design incorporate LEED-ND guidelines. The groups were also offered the chance to add to their development site by including surrounding parcels, however, this would need to be fully reasoned.
In the end, the project finished with a design that would afford a Gold Certification. The proposed development optimized the location to the future Green Line T Station in Gilman Square as well as provided the opportunity to revitalize the neighborhood.
Client: Schnitzer West
Project Location: Bellevue, WA
Deliverables: 3D illustrations, unit animations, interactive sales tool
Employer: Neoscape
The Bravern is a large mixed-use development in downtown Bellevue, Washington. Neoscape was hired by Schnitzer West to help the developer market the residential portion of the of the project. The site includes two ground levels of retail, two office towers, and two 30+ story residential towers. The residential towers also enjoy a large elevated terrace that connects the two and provides additional public space.
For this project, I coordinated the production of: (28) 3D illustrations, four unit animations, and a large interactive sales tool.
