Pocket Park

Alex Karshis

Project Description: Pocket Park is a deployable wall designed for dog owners to allow their dog to play outside off-leash in a safe, socially distanced, and enclosed area. Paired with the Pocket Park Application, where dog owners can find areas to use their Pocket Park in their city, they can also find yards near them to rent out, just like Airbnb. 

Personal Bio. I grew up as an Air Force brat, moving from country to country, town to town. Meeting and experiencing many new and different cultures along the way. All were molding me into the individual I am today. I come from a long line of furniture makers and engineers; these passions have stuck with me along the way. I want to focus my skills on bettering the world for all of us; everyone deserves a fair chance. I hope to merge the fields of Architecture and Industrial Design into a new, more forward-thinking, creative, and inclusive field.
