Plans for the redesign of the northern walkway between ESF’s Moon Library entrance and Illick Hall in the quad. The plan improves circulation, increases biodiversity, reduces the heat island effect, and expands areas for student use. Documents were created in adherence to the class assignments.
Note: the stamps were created for aesthetic purposes only.

N.Y.S. Department of State/SUNY ESF Collaborative Studio on Managed Retreat
Managed retreat has been in practice for decades in various forms but in recent years the catalyst has been changes in our climate. ESF’s Fall 2023 Studio IV worked with the N.Y.S. Department of State to research, analyze, and produce visualizations of what private property could look like after a state land buyout.
The work shown here proposes a constructed wetland complex within a larger scope of a residential and agricultural village along the eastern shores of Lake Ontario, NY. The shorelines of this lake have been experiencing an increase in heavy flooding and erosion due to seiche action and increased precipitation. For opportunities for public land use post-retreat, I proposed a dark sky reserve, the construction of large bat houses to provide habitat for the endangered Little Brown Bat, Lyotis lucifugus, the use of a native, historically significant willow species to create willow sculptures and increase tourism, and a wetland complex expansion for forebay overflows.
Note: This site was selected by students only as an example for research and educational purposes. Students have no knowledge of any plans for managed retreat in this area. All work shown here is my own.
Methods: Photoshop, Illustrator, ArcGIS Pro, and archival research

Estabrook Estate Landscape Restoration
This is an excerpt of a 90 page studio project that generated a landscape analysis and design proposals for the newest owners and caretakers of the 11.26 acre Charles Estabrook estate in Syracuse, NY. Ecological restoration is intended to blend with the Arts and Crafts style of the historic Ward Wellington Ward home.

*While a group project, all work shown here is my own. I designed the entire report and generated a significant portion of the content.
