Jacobs

Visual Media Group

Developed, produced, and managed 2D, 3D, and interactive information presentation graphics

for Jacobs. Products were used both internally and externally to communicate design intent.

They often were utilized to visualize design impacts to concerned community organizations.

Route 36 Highlands Bridge project demanded high quality composite renderings to verify that

the new design did not interfere with the historical landmark: “Twin Lights” lighthouse vantages. Composite renderings and a virtually immersive animation were necessary to sway opponents to the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s proposal to replace a historical bridge.

Deliverables were also utilized to secure funding for high profile depicted projects.

Renderings, animation, and an interactive environment depicting the master plan for the

Fort Bliss U.S. Army base in El Paso, Texas were used to obtain funding from Capitol Hill.

Physically accurate computational engineering simulations were developed and utilized to

describe the procedural preparation, _ring trajectories, and recovery of the nation’s latest

Intercontinental Ballistic Missile vehicles at the U.S Air Force base in Cape Canaveral Florida.

The animation was crucial to helping Jacobs and its’ partner, Northrop Grumman, in describing the engineer’s proposed “waterless” testing facility and achieving funding for the project. The animation demonstrated the methodology of introducing simulated drag forces that occur from an underwater submarine launch via tension cables. For the first time, engineers also proposed to catch the projectile in a gravel pit vs. a pool of water, reducing maintenance and specialized dive staff. The animation was coupled with a custom supporting narrative.

Traffic simulations of the predicted behavior of motorists given alternative proposed routes were translated from proprietary traffic analysis software’s into photorealistic animations for community analysis of the benefits and/or consequence of different proposed scenarios. Public transportation projects, both heavy and light rail, were also visualized in conjunction with motor vehicle traffic to communicate to their respective communities the impact. Additionally, construction phasing animations communicated the time frame for completion of a project and proposed interferences.

Numerous other marketing materials were utilized to win projects for the company. An entire

master plan for a new city in Abu Dhabi of 50,000 plus was bid on and won through the use of a descriptive animation. The city was designed digitally and conveyed the proposed planning techniques to be utilized. projects

Georgia Institute of Technology Imagine Lab

Interactive Media Architecture Group in Media

As an Undergraduate in a Graduate Research position, I contributed to the virtual model of the Georgia Institute of Technology's campus-both existing and proposed. I also modeled and textured existing blocks in the city of Atlanta for incorporation into an overall model of the city. The models were used then to generate animations and interactive media products for a future historical record of the city. projects

Bachelors of Design in Architecture

Focused on the implementation of computational methods in the design of architecture. Studies were directed towards algorithmic architecture via parametric modeling techniques. Rendering, animation, and stereo lithographic models were explored to convey designs that could not be expressed through traditional techniques. Research culminated in developing designs from scale models to full scale installations via digital manufacturing utilizing CAD/CAM. studies
