This project is a drafting study of a West Village townhouse and includes a dimensioned floor plan, furniture plan, reflected ceiling plan, and interior elevations. My focus was on creating clear, readable drawings that show how the space functions in terms of layout, proportion, and circulation. It was also a chance to practice detailing and consider how elements like lighting and furniture come together to shape the feeling of the home.

This project is a SketchUp concept study of a West Village apartment, developed through drafted plans, elevations, and a full 3D model. I started with a moodboard to establish the overall direction, mixing vintage references, warm materials, and soft lighting, and used that to guide the layout and finishes. The model looks at how proportion, sightlines, and materials shape the feel of the space, from the living room to the kitchen and terrace. The renderings focus on natural light, tone, and how the elements in the space work together.

This booklet was a way for me to learn and apply core design principles in Adobe InDesign. I focused on how typography, spacing, and layout choices shape a reader’s experience, using a consistent grid, clear hierarchy, and intentional pacing across the pages. Full-bleed images and simple text placement helped me practice balancing visuals and information without overwhelming either. The project was ultimately about understanding how the properties of design work together to create a clear, engaging flow.

This project centered on designing the visual environment for a podcast photoshoot. I worked with the creative team to define the overall look, selecting elements like furnishings, color palette, and composition to support the show’s tone. The set was planned to photograph well in different formats and to establish a clear visual identity that could carry through the cover art and promotional materials.

I’ve worked on the production of photoshoots across fashion and music, including sets for Bella Venice, Les Miss, and projects with the recording artist Maeve. My responsibilities included coordinating logistics, preparing sets, and managing on-set details to ensure the concept was executed smoothly. These experiences strengthened my ability to collaborate, stay organized, and contribute to shoots that run efficiently and produce strong visual results.

While photography isn’t something I pursue professionally, it has become an important part of how I observe and understand visuals. Taking photos helps me recognize what I’m drawn to, and that perspective naturally influences how I approach design and other creative work.

Similarly to my photography, drawing gives me another way to engage with visual ideas. Working in pencil lets me focus on form, proportion, and small details in a more direct, hands-on way. While it’s a personal practice rather than professional work, it plays a steady role in how I develop ideas and build my visual understanding.
