Chair Mockup

Here's a full-scale mockup of the skeleton for the artist's chair. I'd like to take this time to thank my dad for making me learn how to handsaw wood as a child.

Week 4 Update



Here's presented a view of the last studio for UF, with my trusted grey chair poised and at the ready. The chair project is developing, and what started as simply a cantilevered chair that was designed to reflect the context it was placed in, transformed into a monstrousity of its own. In an attempt to entertain myself, I started to stack the iterations of the chair on top of each other. Upon seeing this, it was declared that what I had just put together should be the chair. And bravely (though some would say foolishly), I agree to these demands.

So now the chair is programmed for an artist, and is being envisioned as a chair and an easel all in one, so one can paint while they sit and sit while they paint.


Featured Work

Posted my portfolio work up on a design site called Coroflot, and one of the projects (The Urban Farm), got placed as the featured work for January 29th. That's not too bad.

Final Updates

After all is said and done, finally have the printable version of the portfolio ready to get assembled and sent out. It's unbelievably how much of a time-consuming process it can be, something that can probably be worked on and tweaked infinitely. But there is a deadline so it had to be finished over the break.

Return to the Forsaken

Long time, no post.

My sincerest apologizes for the lack of love to this wonderful empty canvas on the interwebs. Unfortunately, about when I left off is when things started to get real in the semester. Updates are going to much more frequent as of now, coming every Friday as a way of discussing how the design studio is progressing- this last semester as an undergrad at UF.

Pictures of the new studio are soon to come, how it looks is complete madness. While last semester dealt primarily in New York, this semester's focus is going to be in Africa- Ethiopia more specifically.

The portfolio I posted pieces of is also finished by now, I'll upload more of that as time goes on.
