DESIGN & ENGINEERING PROJECT - CITY OF LOVELAND COLORADO

What this project demonstrates

I map the unseen links between people, systems, and ideas.

I look for:

I identify hidden connections between technical and creative systems.
I turn infrastructure into usable, intuitive experiences.
I bridge engineering, design, and storytelling.
I build solutions that last — functionally and culturally.
The same thinking applies whether I’m designing a brand, a website, a presentation, or a real-world structure.

It’s why this approach resonates with contractors, developers, engineers, and business owners alike — because it’s not about decoration.

It’s about making things work better, look intentional, and last.

A TRIBUTE TO THE LINEMEN OF THE PAST,
IN HONOR OF THOSE TODAY,
WITH GRATITUDE TO THOSE OF OUR FUTURE.

CONSTRUCTED FROM THE STEEL POLES THAT SUPPORTED LOVELAND'S FIRST ELECTRIC SYSTEM IN THE 1920'S, THIS STRUCTURE NOW PROVIDES POWER FOR OUR COMMUNITY EVENTS.

A Synergy of Electric Design and Creative Vision

This project wasn’t assigned as a design brief.
It emerged from noticing gaps — and connecting dots across disciplines.

While overseeing the removal of an outdated canyon voltage system within an engineering department, I recognized a parallel challenge the Chamber of Commerce had been trying to solve: the lack of a reliable downtown power source for events, vendors, and live music. Solving it would require more than electricity — it needed structure, usability, longevity, and public buy-in.

Rather than treating these as separate problems, I approached them as one system. Using decommissioned steel poles from the canyon project, I designed a permanent downtown power structure that was both functional and intentional.

The back housed a 400-amp electrical panel with simple, quick-connect access — designed so vendors and bands could plug in without technical friction. The front became a visual anchor: a metal art installation that integrated into the downtown landscape instead of disrupting it.

This wasn’t just about power. It was about experience.

I drafted the electrical one-line diagram for the system, worked hands-on with the welder during construction, and ensured the structure met practical demands while remaining visually cohesive. I also collaborated with the local visual art committee to shape how the piece would be understood — translating technical infrastructure into something the community could connect with emotionally.

To complete the system, I wrote a short poem for the plaque that now lives on the structure — grounding the installation in local history and honoring the linemen whose work made it possible.
