Created by Andrea Zittel, this structure directly interacts with the Indianapolis Museum of Art’s 100Acre Park, uniting dwelling with nature. Collaborating with classmate Julia Clements, we proposed a program where we embraced the quiet purity of the art-piece, allowing ourselves to separate from our hasty, societal routine, and simplify our lives.

In San Francisco, I took it upon myself to not pass up capturing the beauty of the city including Muir Woods and the Howeird Street Fair. Photography inspires me for design projects and allows my eye to practice instant composition.
