“Flows Two Ways” is a 6 story sculpture opposite Bjarke Ingels Group’s Via 57 West Project along the Hudson River in New York City. Designed alongside a fantastic team at Stephen Glassman Studio.
GRIDSPACE OUTFIT + BUILD OUT is the interior design for Gridspace, a tech startup that moved its L.A. office to an industrial space in downtown Los Angeles. With a startup's budget and only 800 SF to house a growing company, the design became extremely resourceful, incorporating many elements that are easily reconfigured. Greenery thrives in this space, with its high ceilings and natural lighting, and reflects the element of playfulness Gridspace values in its company culture.
These interiors were conceptualized with a Los Angeles product innovation firm for a sustainable hospitality provider seeking to win the food and beverage concessions contract from the National Park Service for Yosemite in 2015. The project sought to reinvigorate the tired log cabin approach to the interpretive theming and interior design of the eating, drinking, and entertainment venues for Yosemite.
Role: As an independent Design Strategist on the team, Jackie creatively conceptualized these restaurant, bar, and lounge interiors, as well as the outdoor signage, ambience concept, and operations plan. She wrote and designed brand identity descriptions, and designed interior design vignettes for artistic rendering.
THE LOS ANGELES MUSEUM OF OUTSIDER ART is an independent, free art museum in the central- city neighborhood of Silverlake, Los Angeles.
Outsider Art, by virtue of having been created by artists without formal training, celebrates diversity in its origins. The choice of site and design methodology reflect this value. The triangular site is located on one of Los Angeles’ most iconic boulevards, with two access levels, which are bridged by a stair, an urban feature typical of this part of Los Angeles. The rebar-enclosed, double stair entry elevates this local typology into a phenomenological experience integrated into the materiality of the museum. Working with collage as a medium to integrate dissimilar parts into wholes, the so-called “Little Monsters” became vehicles for generating complex architectural moments driven by diverse materialities.
CLEAVE is a mixed use project in the Sant Martí de Provençals neighborhood in Barcelona. With the footprint of an entire city block, CLEAVE addresses the chamfered condition of the typical Cerda block of Barcelona (an historically highly planned characteristic meant to encourage pedestrian interaction) through hyperbole.
The project is composed of three distinct parts: a thin, delicate base, a series of massive intersecting chamfered volumes leaning outward from the center, and screens emerging from the ground level that echo the form language of the volumes above. The base is composed of three stacked bands, kinked in plan to create two large, exaggeratedly chamfered plazas, and then kinked again vertically to create three lifted entries into the block’s center, allowing the pedestrian to pass through the block to the other side (unlike the conventional block,which closes off its center to the public). The chamfered volumes above speak to a morphology that is geometrically precise, yet somewhat geological, as synthetic in their form as quarried stones. Their massive scale addresses the urban condition, stretching up to attain a height of thirteen stories.
As they cleave outward towards the street and away from the center, they create large overhangs at the pedestrian level below, introducing an element of scalar intimacy. This intimacy is underscored by perforated screens, formed from shadow projections of the volumes above, which curl up from the ground to shift in plan and crawl up the sides of the building with varying levels of visual porosity, bringing the form language of the massive volumes down to the ground at human scale. The use of the projective screens unites the three elements and introduces multiplicity and layering to the urban experience of the project--from the street, to the sidewalk, to the space between screens, to the plaza, to the center of the block, and then into the building.

OBLIQUE is a three piece furniture set designed for a product innovation firm based in Los Angeles. It includes a flat file storage unit, a large planter, and a bookcase. Each piece, constructed of stained maple and blackened steel frames, sits on a metal frame outfitted with heavy duty casters for maximum mobility. The flat file case and bookcase include cubbies recessed into a work surface at standing-desk height for dynamic office use. The planter is designed to accommodate two LED grow lights to bring natural greenery to a windowless workspace.
This project was completed with the fine fabrication services of Miguel Rojas of Grow Interiors and Seed Furniture.
This lighting design employs minimal and energy-efficient, dimmable LED pendant stick lights arranged in a playful fashion. The space, which is home to a multidisciplinary design studio in Los Angeles, is 50' long and 16' feet wide, with only one small window and skylight as natural light resources. The asymmetrically-pitched ceiling and existing mechanical equipment became useful, and ultimately generative, design constraints.
