Current Projects

While working at Renaissance Group, I have been able to be apart of some amazing projects, which have taught me an immense amount when it comes to commercial design.

Some projects I have been apart of include: 

  • St. Jude Housing Facility 

  • Bank of Bartlett Renovation 

  • Plenty more that are currently in the works 

Scandinavian Rendering 

About this project 

This project was inspired by the minimalistic designs of Scandinavian design aspects. I wanted the focus of this house to be the exterior. Scandinavian design is very to the point, and the architecture is always so intriguing. I created the inside to feel warm and inviting, while still being chic and updated. Influenced heavily by the amount of windows and natural light this type of design uses, I wanted to make sure those elements were included.

Art Deco Rendering 

About this project

Below is one of my personal favorites I have done to date. The criteria for this project was to create a version of interior design that represented a certain time in history. This piece was done with the inspiration of the Art Deco period in mind, which spans from the 1920s-1930s. I designed the entire house from ground up through Sketchup adding in elements from the 3D warehouse.

Anthropologie Candle Design 

About this project 

This project was inspired by our awesome country and the states within it. Our guide lines for this project were to create a new product for a store of our choice, so Anthropologie it was. Specifically, I chose their home and décor section. I chose to create three candles that represent three different states in three different regions of the U.S. California, Texas, and Florida. Each state has its own flower, so that flower was then hand drawn by myself to create the fragrance within. I then photoshopped each logo on to packages and candles for a realistic look.

Mid-Century Modern w/ a Boho Twist Rendering 

About this project

This home has been one of my favorite homes/buildings I have created to date. This project was inspired by my internship application. I needed one more piece to add to my work, so I create this home. My thought process behind this build was to create something with a mix of styles that feels welcoming and warm. I combined the Midcentury Modern era, which was from the 1930s-1960s, with Boho styles and a few Scandinavian influences.

Trade Show Mock Up 

About this project 

This project was simply to create a trade show booth to capture customers attention for a brand of my own. I was tasked to focus on aspects that would catch the eye whether that is the fun shapes on the wall, or the fun candle displays. I started with a mood board of different trade show ideas. I then went into SketchUp and built the booth below.
