Santa Fe Community College
Complete overhaul of interior and exterior campus sign program. SFCC services a diverse student population of over 5000 students on a 500 acre campus composed of 4 main buildings. Design concerns included constant department relocations, extreme Santa Fe weather and wayfinding design for both the student population and the broader public who come to many events & specialty services hosted at SFCC. Solutions included: extensive site audits, a modular end-user updateable signs system, mapping, color code systems and a hierarchical wayfinding program with placement maps .

Lovelace Medical Center:
Campus Orientation System
Campus orientation system for Lovelace Health Systems’ downtown campus. Although I designed all the interior wayfinding for each building at this location, this was a special project to address additional issues unique to the 'whole campus'. The 3 buildings on the campus are generations old and are the ‘product’ of several waves of renovations. As such, entrances have moved around and buildings have connected in counterintuitive ways….and it’s on a big hill. This layer of wayfinding focused on “finding” visitors through the main corridor of the campus as they moved laterally across 3 buildings and among 3 vertical levels. Extensive graphic development resulted in specialized “need-to-know” campus maps for both wall mounted signage and take-away collateral. Directory systems and special level orientation signs were also implemented to create a unified campus experience for the user.

UNM Hospital Pavilion
Extensive interior and exterior sign package for newly built 6 story hospital. Package included planning for 1000+ room signs and interior wayfinding using an iconic graphic system which was part of the ‘narrative’ of the building. Planning services also included renumbering the entire building for enhanced wayfinding. Initial package was used as RFQ during construction, which CSB won allowing me to oversee much of the fabrication. Further development on project has included a hospital wide donor recognition standard, department specific wayfinding and integration with the existing main hospital.

Intel: Parking Garage
Not an EG designer’s dream, but I actually enjoy parking structure work. The main employee garage at Intel was a terrible mess as it was originally built for two-way traffic and then later converted to one-way. The garage was re-striped several times, resulting in mass confusion with floor graphics pointing drivers in conflicting directions, and generally illegible directional signage. This project involved extensive site audits to eliminate all previous floor markings, new custom floor markings and a new set of highly visible directional signage. This produced a design that exceeded Intel’s high safety standards.

UNM School of Architecture & Planning
This challenging sign package put the finishing touches to the UNM School of Architecture’s new home. The facility was designed by Antoine Predock resulting in the highest standard of design integration with the building's conceptual nature: a “building that inspires and teaches students about the potential of architecture”. The resulting signs hung weightlessly in the environment while calling attention to raw materiality, interchangeability and even an acknowledgement to ADA regulations by using very obvious black Braille dots. Room signs in the project took on double-duty to function as donor recognition signs to keep the visual environment clean and the budget under control. Special thanks to Jeff Rutherford for all his contributions on this project.

CSB World Headquarters
While employed at Century Sign Builders, we took the big step of purchasing a new building and moving shop. This project allowed me to work as both an EG designer (and the topic was EG) as well to unofficially practice architecture and planning. Working with our staff I completed all the initial space planning for office and production areas. I provided oversight for our architecture firm during while construction document were created, and executed revisions to those documents for final build. Like all things CSB, budget was tight, but the project was awarded the NIAOP (Albuquerque) “best renovation” award for 2006
