	VICTORY HALL THEATER RENOVATION, SCOTTSVILLE, VA Field investigation, documentation of existing conditions, and proposal for redevelopment of historic community theater. The theater was originally designed as a grand structure of eclectic Italianate design. Early photographic evidence indicated that the theater was a more subtle variation of the original design. My charge was to find a way to make renovations historically appropriate and meet modern building codes and accessibility requirements. Project completed while working as preservation specialist at FPW Architects in Charlottesville, VA.
	UVA NEUROSURGERY DEPARTMENT RENOVATION, CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA Complete renovation of the Neurosurgery Department of the UVA Hospital, completed as project manager under the care of designer David Puckett at FPW Architects.
	BRCC EDUCATIONAL FACILITY, VA Project Manager for the design and implementation of drawings for the BRCC Pleckar building my firm asked me to design a visually interesting acoustic solution for one of the community college facilities we were working on. This lecture hall has an original designed acoustic ceiling, shown in section here, with an overlay of LEDs in the form of the stars usually located above during summer. Project completed while working for FPW Architects in Charlottesville, VA.
	MUSEUM OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN, WASHINGTON, DC The five-story, 250,000SF, curvilinear museum is clad in a golden-colored Kasota limestone designed to evoke natural rock formations shaped by wind and water over thousands of years. The museum is set in a 4.25 acre site and is surrounded by simulated wetlands. My firm was hired by Smithgroup to assist in the completion of the Construction Documents for the museum. I was project manager in charge of MEP and Structural coordination - an challenging feat, as the floors do not stack geometrically! We were also responsible for the completion of limited landscape drawings as conceptualized by Smithgroup.

	DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT, BRYAN, TX Original design of an infill structure between two abandoned historic structures. Task included tying all of the structures together visually, as the project is owned and operated by a single owner. Provide shading and ADA access.
