Design Notebook
For my internship, I was tasked with creating and editing “design notebooks” for the marketing department at Cornerstone Group, LLC.
These notebooks were used on constructions sites to aid contractors and designers as to what the community clubhouses should look like. I was able to express my design interests by choosing paints, furniture, and other physical aspects of the building for its completion. (see pdf for example)
Race and Place Paper
This paper was written to outline the way in which race has an effect on the physical spaces that people are “allowed” to inhabit in our current society. The paper highlights the urban setting as a place that highlights racism and the accessibility to the natural environment. (see pdf.)
Biomimicry Project
For Biophilia, one project that was assigned was to take on the task of designing some type of product or building using biomimicry. I was able to use my skills in architecture and design to help my group design a feature that could be attached to a house in the winter to create an insulation affect using snow.
Re-Designing the Diving Center and Skoglund
One of the projects that I was tasked with in Architecture and Design was to partner with a peer and re-design the dive center with a new mission.
Our goal was to provide a more accessible and seeable space for athletes and spectators alike. (see pdf.)
Marketing Research Plan
For Marketing, we were assigned a team in which the final project was to do a large research project with a community partner; this course was an ACE class. We created a marketing plan for an insurance broker in Northfield (see attached pdf.) in which we created a plan based upon data collections for her to use to generate more insurance quotes.
