2610 Q STREET RICHMOND, VA is a renovation project car-
ried out by Better Housing Coalition. I created this model using
the proposed floor plan and photographs of architectural details.
The rendering was then posted on real estate websites to show
what the property will look like upon completion and to cre-
ate interest in the property before the renovation was finished.

park(ing) lot day

9. 9
PARK(ING) LOT DAY is an opportunity for the com-
munity to rethink their space and see what it would look
like if a parking lot were a park for a day. These render-
ings show the possible vision for the event at two locations
in Roanoke County. I created the renderings, organized
and realized the event, which was celebrated on Septem-
ber 18, 2015 from 10 AM - 3 PM at South County Library
in Roanoke County, Virginia. Participants included an el-
ementary schools, the local zoo and other local business-
es. Activities provided included animals, outdoor games,
massages, reading space, coloring and chalk drawing.

UNION HILL COMMEM-
ORATIVE PARK was de-
signed by myself considering
architectural and historical
context, location and commu-
nity input. The existing con-
ditions represented in white,
were completed by myself
and one other member of the
Urban Design Group I helped
found. The park design was
entirely my own and was
featured as a finalist in the
Jefferson Pocket Park De-
sign Competition in which
I was up against architects
and landscape architects.

ST. MARK’S SQUARE
is the principal public
square of Venice, Italy.
These images are mini-
malistic representations
of the various
masses that shape St.
Mark’s Square. Some of
the prominent buildings
include Doge’s Palace,
St.Mark’sBasilicaandSt.
Mark’s Campanile.

a vision for shockoe bottom

17. 17
SHOCKOE BOTTOM’s development potential is apparent, but how to develop
the area is a contentious topic. As an alternative to the Revitalize RVA Econom-
ic Development Plan, A Vision for Shockoe Bottom was established to empha-
size the area’s history. This alternative removes the proposed baseball stadium
from Shockoe Bottom and suggests its relocation to Manchester to capture views
of the cityscape. The images seen here were a collaborative effort between my-
self and two other Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Master of Urban
and Regional Planning (MURP) students at the request of Richmond clients.

proposed pear street and echo harbor develpment

19. 19
PEAR STREET AND
ECHO HARBOR pro-
posed developments
have captured much of
the City of Richmond’s
attention since develop-
ments are located within
“the view that named
Richmond.” In collabo-
ration with three other
VCU MURP students,
these images were creat-
ed in several stages which
included creating a mod-
el in SketchUp, photo-
graphing the area during
site visits and merging
2D images from Sketch-
Up with photographs in
Photoshop.

HULL STREET ROAD UR-
BAN DESIGN PLAN was
requested by the Chesterfield
County Planning Department
and Partnership for Smarter
Growth and it also fulfills the
requirements of the MURP
program in the L. Douglas
Wilder School of Government
and Public Affairs at VCU.
The focus area is located in
Chesterfield County between
Hull Street Road, Genito
Road and Courthouse Road.
The purpose of the plan is to
accommodate the increasing
65 and over population, to at-
tract creative millennials, and
to revitalize the existing area
through the design of a dense,
mixed-use development that
creates a sense of place.

23. 23
The resulting plan recom-
mends retrofitting two strip
malls, establishing a variety
of housing densities, creating
public spaces for social gath-
ering and providing a variety
of means of connectivity be-
tween once sprawling devel-
opments.
The designs of this plan were
guided by the stakeholders of
this project, but realized by me
in SketchUp.
