Iron and wood stair - Design for a spiral staircase made of iron and black walnut featuring a fern and forrest animal motif.

Branch Chair - A little cafe chair I did as part of a project.

Free-cycle installation concept - This booth would be placed in a high traffic area, each person is allowed to place an item they no longer need (but feel could be worthwhile to someone else) into a locker, and then from the other side open a locker and recieve an item someone else had placed there. The items could be a book you read or a hat you never wear, or even a drawing you made! One man's trash may be another's treasure. We need to think about not just throwing things away that still have use, just not to us.

Norton Theater - An amphitheater complex (dedicated to Joshua 'Emperor' Norton) Situated on the side of Yerba Buena Island in the San Francisco bay. It includes 2 amphitheaters, a waterfront cafe and a gondola connecting them. Emperor Norton was a celebrated local crazy in San Francisco in the 1870's, he frequented the finest restaurants, paying with his home-printed currency and was also a big fan of the theater, so much so that every premiere saved him a seat!
