Summer 2017 - Present
I work closely with clients and contractors to design custom homes. Preferrable projects contain a particular latitude in the timeline and in style to allow an artistic design process to emerge, in which the results can be timeless and valuable. The following images are associated with residential projects that have designed over the last several years. I aim for quality design, clarity in drawing representation, and a high level of detail in every project.

CainRashWest Architects  |  Summer 2018
Built from white oak, concrete, and copper accents, this desk is solid and honest with its materiality. There are no veneer materials to be found here. Constructed for my new workspace at CainRashWest Architects, this desk is built from reclaimed white oak that was originally destined to be disposed of. It sits at bar height and it is heavy, very heavy. In a hundred years it may still be sitting in this exact spot in some ruinous form.

2 Years Old - Present
Through sketching with only a simple pencil, one can compose entire worlds from the imagination and record them in visible form. I prefer not to say what each sketch represents but rather let them exist as they are without explanation.

Urban Design Studio  |  Fall 2015
Foreboding alleyways and surface parking lots provide an opportunity for open space, public parks, and development of affordable housing and other needed amenities to embellish the already booming city and create a more connected, pedestrian-friendly environment that adds value and creates a sense of place and citizens alike to visit. Activation of alleyways, connectivity of important spaces, and the development of affordable housing are goals of this project that will benefit downtown Nashville.

Fire Department
Integrations Studio   |   Spring 2016 
A fire station represents the community and those that serve it. Its civic nature calls for monumentality, while the service-based responsibilities that fireman bear suggests loyalty, honor, and patriotism. Safety, solidity and protection are represented with the mass, while openness, illumination, and connection to the human scale are expressed by the space in between.

First Year Graduate Studio  |   Spring 2015
This move reinforces openness to the outside world and curiosity as to how it may better the artistic realm. The ability to change for the better is exhibited. The sphere of artistic influence is no longer contained to the 10 departments of Cranbrook, but boldly reaches into the depths of Detroit. This place shall exhibit the exchange of ideas not just between the scholars of academia but from innovators and creative members of the city. Boundaries will be pushed and eliminated. Interactions will take place. Exchange will be on exhibition.
