		<description>
	900 N Michigan AvenueAs a Lead Designer in this project, my focus was on revamping strategic areas of the mall that brought the best customer experience and ROI. As a result, the 10M renovation attracted 17 new tenants, increased the mall’s foot traffic and its presence in social media, attracting a younger demographic.

Responsibilities:
Designed a brighter entrance portal, new exterior signage, and luminescent interior wayfinding, which allows the visitors to locate stores effortlessly on the adjacent floors
Leveraged insights from customer data and client workshops to conceptualize and iterate solutions
Rapid visualization; creation of sketches, mood boards, diagrams, and mock-ups to visually express and test ideas
Simplified the interior architecture by removing ornamentation in the atrium and in the corridors’ ceiling to bring the focus back to the storefronts
Integrated a media experience across digital canopies, two modules at the mall’s entrance and eight more in the atrium’s ceiling to bring artful moments of delight to customers
Led internal creative brainstorms, client presentations, workshops and progress reviews
Managed a team of 3-6 multi-disciplinary designers, interns, 3D modelers, technologists, model makers, and VR visualizers
Collaborated and briefed architects, engineers, lighting designers, and specialty vendors

Pencil To Pixel NYC Exhibit

Collaborated to create the NY edition of the “Pencil to Pixel” exhibition for Monotype. The goal was to create an immersive experience and a cohesive story for visitors that truly reflected the city’s energy.&#38;nbsp;

The use of bold black type in an overall neutral environment created focus, allowing the typefaces to be at the center stage of the exhibit. The space had two main areas, “Pencil” and “Pixel”. The first one showcased sketches for Gill Sans and other fonts, press molds, publications, photos, and videos of analog typeface production. The “Pixel” room had the first digital technologies and displayed Monotype’s adaptability to integrate type across different mobile and digital devices. The tagboard monitor in this area allowed visitors to showcase their own photos and content aggregated in real-time through social media.

Responsibilities:


Concept design, space planning, and environmental graphics layout, leveraging the cityscape view from the venue's windows as a core place for the exhibit graphics.

Coordinated white model mock-ups and renderings.

Oversaw and collaborated in the design intent production.

Provided recommended selection of fabricators and AV vendors to the client.

Sourced and repurposed elements from other local exhibits to reduce fabrication costs.

Briefed and reviewed fabricator drawings and participated in status calls.

		<description>575 Fifth Avenue Plaza&#38;nbsp;

Two proposals submitted to the NYC Parks Commission to activate and enliven the interior public plaza adjacent to the renovated lobby in the same address. The public atrium has retail spaces and offices around its perimeter across 4 levels with Starbucks and Guess on the ground level. 

The design schemes recommend a program to showcase local video artists and filmmakers on the feature wall of the atrium. New flooring, acoustic treatments, projection equipment and furniture options were selected to refresh the look and feel of the plaza.
Responsibilities:
