ARCH. PORTFOLIO // 2025
Hi, I’m Shane. I am pursuing a bachelor’s degree in architecture at NJIT, currently battling through my 4th year studio. I am passionate about all fields of design and the ways it can be used to shape experiences and environments, and I most appreciate architecture as a medium to explore these opportunities. I am far more interested in the creative/conceptual side of design, but I do understand that technical knowledge, in both hard and soft skills, is the limit to these creative ideas, and I work hard to make sure one side is never out pacing the other.
I have a particular interest in graphics and typography design and I often try to implement them into my architectual projects and representation. I don’t think it’s always incredibly successful, but I much prefer to fail at making work that excites me rather than succeed at something I know will work.

Graphic Design for NJIT’s bi-semester publication “Iteration.” Students submit writings based on a given prompt that is centered around a number of different discourses in creative thinking and a design is made to represent those ideas in a fun and attention-grabbing way.
My personal goal with these projects is to continue experimenting with graphic design and the ways it can be used to communicate information through color, typography, and imagery.
This issue is based off of Ottessa Moshfegh’s novel My Year of Rest and Relaxation, the goal being to express the importance of rest in the creative process. Student submitted writings were edited and revised by Dan Girgis and Jacob Swanson.
This issue was about designing spaces that are inclusionary to all types of people and the positive effects it can have, represented by the repeated flower motif. The writings are splayed out on a two page spread oriented in all different directions to introduce a forced interaction upon the readers to turn and flip the paper around as they are reading.
