Salar de Uyuni Museum WALK THROUGH Concept

This is a concept for a insta-museum like experience. It displays an interactive and reactive room of the natural phenomenon of Salar de Uyuni. Salar de Uyuni is located in Bolivia and is the largest salt flat in the world. It contains more than half of the world lithium supply. When the flat is covered in a thin layer of rain water, the ground reflects the sky in an almost endless mirror.

This room reacts to your movement and allows you to choose a sky for the room to reflect. The boat contains a battery charging plug in station to reflect the amount of lithium in the salt flat. Everyone could use a recharge every now and then! This experience brings a popular travel destination to the palm of your hands!

This is the lighting design inspiration for the Shakespeare play, The Tempest. I was able to choose a song that I thought best represented the play and was given a set model designed by Tyler Tunney.

Rutger's period style dorm

Scenic Designer/ Modeler/ Concept Creator
This is a period style dorm of Rutgers University in 1971 during the Camden Riots. This event occurred after the unjust death of a Puerto Rican who was killed by a cop. "When the officers were not charged, Hispanic residents took to the streets and called for the suspension of those involved. The officers were ultimately charged, but remained on the job and tensions soon flared. On August 20, riots erupted and fifteen major fires were set before order was restored. Ninety people were injured and city officials ended up suspending the officers, who were later acquitted by a jury"

On the television you can see an image of an actual Camden riot caused fire. Half of the room is empty because it belonged to a white roommate who fled the seen from fear. The other roommate is of Puerto Rican descent and has participated in the riots as can be seen by the stolen television, microwave, and mini-fridge.

Crite's Office

Scenic Designer/ Modeler/ Concept Creator
The assignment of this project was to create an office based on the erection of the Crites building in Savannah, Georgia in 1906. (That room was chosen because it was the room we had this class in.) After researching Savannah, Georgia in the early 1900's , I decided to make this the office of a Naval Store. These "stores" collected a special kind of pine sap and aided the Navy in doing so.

Twilight Zone: 16 Millimeter shrine

Scenic Designer/ Modeler
This Sketchup model is of a set I designed for film from the Twilight Zone Series. The episode it is based off of is called The 16 Millimeter Shrine. The episode takes place in Hollywood in the very early 1900's and is placed in the mansion of a washed up movie star. The star is so obsessed with her successful past self, that she locks herself away in her screening room only to be literally absorbed by the screen in the end of the story.
