Slover Memorial Library was a project in partnership with Newman Architects and Bloomer Studio. Submitting together as an architecture firm and an ornament design fabrication studio, the team won a competition for the renovation of Slover Memorial Library in downtown Norfolk, VA. The project was met with accolades and critical acclaim, including the 2015 AIA/ALA Library Building Award, 2015 WAN Building Design Award, two 2015HR ACRE Awards, and 2015 ENR MidAtlantic Cultural Building Merit Award.

I was responsible for creating design models; cutting, shaping, and hammering 1,200 aluminum leaves; designing placement and fabricating vines constructed from aluminum bar; and designing fastener components.
