1. WORK SAMPLE
Fillmore Place Retail
Denver, Colorado
This project is simply about unifying three different buildings with three different finish floor heights
in one architectural gesture. One wall section was developed and highly detailed to accommodate
various conditions of the project. This new wall section became known as the “retail wrapper” as
it was extruded around the base of the three buildings adjacent to Fillmore Plaza. Glass was used
for the retail wrapper because it served dual purposes to activate the entire project. The reflec-
tive nature of the glass store front will echo the activity on the plaza during the day, and at night it
will allow the interior spaces to filter out onto the plaza and reactivate it through light and shadow.
Features like these as well as others seek to bring this project to a level of simplicity and presence
not currently available in this prominent shopping district.

1127 Sherman
Denver, Colorado
This 30,000 square foot building is the new home
of the Colorado State Land Board in a historic
neighborhood of downtown Denver. The project is
an urban infill along a street with a mix of residential
and commercial buildings. The design of the build-
ing needed to be contextual with its surroundings,
but sought to have a more modern presence on the
block. Bronze colored mullions and blonde colored
brick were used to contrast and visually connect the
building to its neighbors. Features such as the roof
terrace, underground parking and bicycle racks add
to the many sustainable aspects of this building that
exemplify the Colorado State Land Board’s core
values.
Completed: 2009
Building Area: 25,000 sf

385 Interlocken
Broomfield, Colorado
385 Interlocken, aka, Central Park Tower is the
fourth project in a series of corporate office buildings
that have been completed by Gensler in the last ten
years. Due to the buildings location, the design has
no front or back. Rather, the building is symmetrical
about the diagonal axis. The façade design is a
folded billboard of glass and glass fiber reinforced
polymer concrete (GFRPC) panels. Entrances are
defined by canopies below the apex of the billboard
and their adjacent ribbons of glass allow the lobby
interiors to be filled with natural light. The lobby
interior has features such as double height ceilings,
custom stone panels, rich wood accents and sleek
glass and metal accents, which exemplify a modern
interpretation of traditional building materials.
Central Park Tower is a modern interpretation of the
previously designed buildings and exemplifies the
quality standards set before it.

University of Michigan
Student Activities Building
Ann Arbor, Michigan
The University of Michigan Student Activities
Building is the first place a prospective student
visits for a tour of the campus. It is also the hub of
everyday student life with the housing, financial aid
and M-card offices all located within this building.
The existing building was a compilation of renova-
tions and additions dating from 1960 to 1996. As
a result, the interior space lacked a unity and an
openness that allowed for easy navigation. The new
renovation sought to open up the interior spaces
like a window and expose the department functions
contained inside. Floor materials and ceiling planes
are designed to fuse together the various building
additions and visually connect the departments.
In addition, sustainable materials are incorporated
throughout the renovation further enhancing the
University’s renewable story.
Completed: 2008
Building Area: 109,000 sf
5. WORK SAMPLE
Playhouse
Grand Rapids, Michigan
ArtWorks, a non-profit organization that introduces kids to the arts, sponsored a playhouse compe-
tition among teams of architects and local high school students. The goal was to design and build
a playhouse for auction as well as teach the students about the field of architecture. Our playhouse
design is an expression of positive and negative and light and dark. It is purposefully expressive in
its use of color and design to express that a house can take on many forms while maintaining the
same characteristics of a typical house. The introduction of alternative building materials such as
galvanized metal, acrylic panels and stainless steel offer a contrast to the wood structure. Ad-
ditionally, the development of the outdoor spaces became as critical as the development of the
interior room and as a result, the playhouse can be experienced in its totality. Our intention was for
this playhouse to foster creativity, individuality and an awareness of place within each person that
experiences it.
Completed: 2003
6. WORK SAMPLE
St. John Medical Center
Macomb Township, Michigan
A place for people is the focus of this outpatient
medical center. Warm and inviting, not cold and
clinical was the mantra throughout the design
process. So often going to the hospital can be a
stressful activity so features such as natural light-
ing, wood accents and an inviting color palette are
used to give the building a calming presence and
a home-like quality to ease that tension. Addition-
ally, this project will serve as a gateway for a future
hospital expansion and continued quality healthcare
service for the community of Macomb Township.
Completed: 2005
7. PMD Legal
Web + Graphic Design
In April 2009 I was commissioned to develop a
brand and marketing strategy for a startup interna-
tional law firm called PMD Legal. The challenge for
this project was to create a logo, business cards,
website and marketing materials in less than three
weeks. Clean lines and bold colors were used to
reflect the firm’s fresh interpretation on the traditional
law firm.
