This project, an urban grocery store
in the Old City section of Knoxville,
TN, is situated within a renovation
space. Associated work includes
interior design work such as color
studies and selection, as well as
furniture consultation, design, and
appropriation. Graphic work and
rendering, as well as as-built and
proposed design modeling was
generated for both marketing (web
site and print) and future develop-
ment/use. In addition, event plan-
ing and exhibit coordination
responsibilities are also part of this
project.
In addition to design work with the
actual space of aisle 9, I am also in
charge of the day-to-day operation
of the business itself. Local Love is a
seasonal event that centers around
First Friday, local growing cycles,
and aisle 9ʼs desire to foster as
many local vendor connections as
feasible. Event planning, vendor
liasions, menu consultation, and all
graphics & press are my responsi-
bility. The event was such a success
that the February 4 event became
an inaugural event that is now a
recurring one.
This committee position not only in-
volves standard participation such
as meeting attendance, event plan-
ing, and seminars/webinars, but
also includes all print media prod-
uction for the east tn usgbc. From
banners, postcards, press packages,
sponsorship media, vendor booth
information and signage, seminar
and meeting announcements, and
email signatures, to website work,
producing articles for the newsletter
and project profiles, I generate all
graphics for our chapter. Please
see http://www.etnusgbc.org/ for
more in-depth examples of my work
with the chapter.
This project consists of two spaces
on the Maryville College campus.
A main building, comprised of a
1200 seat capacity proscenium
auditorium, a 400 seat flex theatre,
professional and educational
support spaces, art galleries and
music educational facilities is to
serve both community and the
college. The smaller educational
building serves the campus
specifically. State of the art
acoustics and art lab spaces bring
a quality to performance unlike
anything else in the area.
This project, a proposed renovation
to the older cathedral (built in 1908),
was a marketing package that was
produced primarily by me. Working
under extremely limited supervision,
I proposed design strategies,
both modeled and drawn, and
small-scale site studies. Additionally,
I prepared all preliminary occupancy,
usage, and code estimations for the
provisional project. All graphics,
programming, and code adherency
were my responsibility. Project is
currently pending approval by the
local Diocese.
This was an interior build-out and
renovation within the downtown
Knoxville post office. The build-out
was historical, and therefore posed
difficulties with occupancy/fire code
and construction codes. Taking its
cues from the open, airy lobby, the
new construction consisted of glass-
enclosed offices, and open floor
layout for administration, and
improved facilities for employees
(storage, vaulting, and break rooms).
Much care was taken to preserve
the detail of the original building,
while updating the feel and the
function of the building itself.

The Kingsport Center for Higher Ed-
ucation is a facility, of approximately
54,000 gross square feet. It is
currently in process for certification
for LEED NC. Concurrently, ORNL
Building 1059 is undergoing
certification for LEED EB O&M. I
produced LEED documentation for
both of these projects, in both
graphic and narrative forms.
Furthermore, I also performed tasks
using the LEED online system, and
had access and responsibility for the
documentation of specific strategies
and credits.

The Knoxville Center for Transient
is a gallery sited within the Neyland
parking garage. Adjacent is a SRO,
which services both tourists and
natives. How does one separate the
occupable zones? Also, how can
the units be both anonymous and
personal simultaneously? These
questions formed the crux of the
assignment. By inserting a green
landscape within the urban hard-
scape (both on the site proper and
within the SRO facades) the site
becomes connected to the natural
element of the river and the green-
way, while maintaining a separation
from the garage itself.
My understanding of the site derives
from three sources: the past of the
site, the extant conditions of the
place, and the imagined future of
the site/usage. The past of the site
comes from histories, photographs,
and maps. The conditions for the
present come from photographs,
drawings, and diagrams. The
collages are the inspiration and are
also part of the process for
understanding the site in situ. This
technique of defamiliarization
collapses the temporal experience
of the site: the relics of the past that
persist in the present are the stage
for the future, and inform the design.
I designed the UN Center for
Sustainability around the East River
and the far end of the site. The site
strategy was based on the idea of
anchoring the plaza site. Also, by
designing a series of paths and
lawns, the art on site was fully
integrated within the plaza. Further
access was created by the loggia,
which created an alternate entrance
to the plaza, which began to create
a series of zones of differing types
of occupation. Finally, the main
element of the center was placed
within the East River, in order to
capitalize on the energy potential
of the water.
