One point perspective and floor plan, rendered in pen and ink.   Eight-year old Ariel dreams about living under the sea and wants her bedroom to reflect her imagination.  Natural textures like wood are combined with nautical elements such as shells and fish to mimic the undersea environment.   A large area rug in the shape of a sea turtle will provide a soft floor area for playing, and an upholstered chair will provide a comfy seat for reading.  Overall, the variety of textures, combined with the unified theme will create a playful and harmonious space.

A photo reproduction using acrylic paint, this illustrates a scene from Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Designed and rendered from actual fabrics, this was a project from my Rendering Skills class.

This custom coffee table for Oklahoma Heritage Inc. is inspired by the horseshoe and Oklahoma's cowboy heritage. Copper horseshoes serve as the main supports, and rope detail gives a special touch to the curved sides, and nailhead trim finishes off the leather upholstered top.

Inspired by swooping lines of wings and the symmetrical balance of an owl, the Owl Bench focuses on a curved and flowing contour, offset by sturdy, straight legs.  The smooth texture mimics an aerodynamic idea.  The Owl Bench is unified by its balance and texture, but the variety of line and shapes help create a harmonious and interesting furniture piece.  The Owl Bench is made of various sustainable materials.  The back, arms, and deck are plastic sheets made from recycled foodstuff containers.  The sheets are attached by edge welding, and above the back circular cut-outs is a triangular inlay of wood veneer in white birch.  The legs are constructed of recycled steel, and the seat cushion is made of bamboo fabric.
