Welcome!

Portfolio:

Design: New Trax Map

A map for a hypothetical expanded TRAX network on the Wasatch Front. Lines would extend throughout the valley, creating a truly transit-oriented Wasatch. Created in Adobe Illustrator.

Design: Park City Gondola

For the final project of my Landscape Architecture class in Fall of 2020, I designed a 'path': an aerial gondola to convey people from Kimball Jumction in Snyderville Basin (outside of Park City) to the Utah Olympic Park.

Map: Ithaca Precinct Shuttle Map

During the 2018 midterm elections, I offered to help operate the shuttles between the various voting sites within Ithaca, New York, where I was attending school. I quickly realized the student-led project had no means by which to quickly and visually communicate the precinct a student should vote in. I put this map together in a few hours in order to rectify this issue.

Project: Silver Stream Watershed Project

A group project to map the silver stream watershed in Newburgh, New York and provide recommendations for targeted watershed remediation. I was the primary editor for the project and also produced the maps on Pages 17 and 19.

Essay: Bootstrap

Bootstrap: Technology, Gender and the Chain of Control is an essay about how transing your gender is like jailbreaking an iPhone, and why we should make both easier. Apologies for the first paragraph on this one.

Essay: Plaza Design Analysis

An essay about the urban design choices that went into Bailey Hall plaza, near the Agricultural Quad at Cornell University

Legal Discussion: 303 Creative Concurrence

I talk about how I kind of agree with the 303 Creative Decision requiring states to permit anti-lgbt discrimination under certain circumstances, and discuss how I would have narrowed the ruling.

Short Fiction: Downpour

A very short story about an American exchange student trying out a bar of soap. At once a satire and an homage. To what is left as a exercise for the reader

Short Fiction: Wall of Flame

A short story about yearning for a better world, written at the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Retrospectively, this one is deeply problematic, but I'm still proud of it. CW: Forest Fires, other disasters, palengenisis.

Short Fiction: Regency

A short "YA-style" sci-fi story set in a spacefaring future. The worldbuilding for this story was inspired by, but is ultimately distinct from, the worldbuilding done for the shared universe of the Discovery Space Center

Short Fiction: Cascadia Rising

A goofy, self-insert, gay political thriller written early on in my transition. Don't take this one too seriously.

Poetry: Bearing Earth

A mood piece about lesbian yearning in space. An homage to the radical feminist poetry of the 1970s.

Poetry: this chasm

A poem about struggling to connect with the world from the depths of depression. Written at the beginning of the pandemic. CW: Depression, Loneliness

Contribs: Thorium Classic

I've made several contributions to the Thorium Classic Spaceship Bridge Simulation System. I'm also involved with Thorium Nova development, and the Thorium Narrative framework.
