This portfolio is showcasing pieces of my undergraduate work. I

am a recent graduate from the University of Colorado Boulder's

program of Environmental Design. Environmental Design is

about combining the practices of arcitecture, landscaping, urban

planning, and industrial design to create a more coprehensive

sustainable design.

Boulder, Colorado was an excelent place to study my major

since the town is very involoved in creating a more sustainable

lifestyle. From the green belt that was established in the 1960's,

to compost bins behind most homes today, Boulder is one of the

leading towns in the United States for sustainable living. My goal

is to build on the knowledge I’ve gained, changing the way

people live and interact with their environment.

DURING THE WINTER AND SUMMER NIGHTSDOORS CAN BE PUT DOWN TO PROVIDE EXTRA INSULATION.

SPRINGS ON THE INTERIOR SECTION OF THE DOORS PROVIDE THE EXTRA FORCE NEEDED TO PUSH THE DOORS AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS WHILE CLOSING.

TWO CHAINS LIFT EACH SEPERATE FLAP UP, WHILE LIFTING THE SOLID PORTION OF THE DOOR UPWARD TO MATCH THE ANGLE OF THE ROOF.

sunglassesindependent projectspring 2 015

design concept: Building on the base of my sunglasses designs in a previous 3d modeling class, I challenged myself into fabricating my design. Starting with 3/32” thick pieces of walnut and oak, I cut out theshape of the frame and sides with di�erent sized spaces for the lenses. I studied di�erent face shapes and extracted lenses from used sunglasses. With CNC machine built a mold to curve the pieces to the right shape.
