The following selected work is from my undergraduate and graduate design and planning studios. This includes projects from transportation engineering, computer modeling courses, landscape architectural skills, and land-use planning spatial analysis in Geographic Information System (GIS). This work is a reflection of my education at the University of Idaho, including my community internship and graduate research assistantship.
While in my undergraduate in landscape architecture, I was introduced to and developed skills in design, drafting, hand rendering, collaboration, computer skills and documentation in concept master plans. Courses such as GIS in Land Planning involved regional suitability analysis for vineyards. Other projects used visual resource analysis with GIS that involved a resource management plan for an assessment of visual impact for timber harvest areas. Other work involved site design, drafting construction documents and plant schedules.
Completion of my BLA helped me refine my skills in order to further my education in Bioregional Planning and Community Design studies. This work emphasized basic planning methods with rural communities. I learned a variety of skills such as participatory planning, teamwork, and 3-D conceptual modeling as well as computer animation using Google Earth, Google SketchUp, and ArcScene.
This portfolio demonstrates my design and planning skills through tailoring community and project specific conceptual design. My work identifies a variety of skills such as Auto CAD, Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign), PowerPoint, and colored pencil rendering. My portfolio is intended to provide insight of my technical skills and community dedication to planning.
