As a dual-degree graduate in Architecture and Construction Management, I bring a unique perspective that blends creative vision with technical precision. I believe in creating spaces that not only inspire but also serve as functional solutions for the users. With hands-on experience in sports and recreation architecture during my internship at Ratio Architects, I’ve developed a passion for crafting environments that enhance human interaction and engagement. Through my work, I aim to push the boundaries of innovation and sustainability, making a lasting impact in the built environment.
Wishing to contribute endlessly...

Mixed-use Residential Project with Related Midwest
Instructor: Prof. Thomas Leslie
Academic Project
Collaboration with two UIUC graduate students
Dwell78 seeks to create a community on an iconic entry point to the 78, establishing pedestrian connections to key landmarks and providing multiple modes of living for residents to connect to their neighborhood.
A Related Midwest commissioned studio, the brief for Dwell78 was to create a 460 unit residential development within the 78, a planned neighborhood along the Chicago River in the South Loop. The neighborhood features an extension of the river walk, a new White Sox stadium, and the Discovery Partners Institute (DPI). The site at 15th and Clark serves as a gateway to the neighborhood, across the street from a planned Red Line station. A metra line runs directly behind the site, with 15th street forming an underpass beneath the tracks. DPI is located along the river walk at the terminus of 15th street, while the White Sox stadium is located across the tracks directly diagonally behind the site.
Dwell78’s podium design ramps up and over this metra track, providing a direct connection from the Red Line to the stadium and the riverwalk beyond. Red terracotta cladding on the podium, which also features parking, retail, and resident amenities, references the similarly scaled red-brick Dearborn Park neighborhood across the street. A lower scale boutique residential portion bridges over this connection, creating a more personal relationship between residents and their community. A truss, referencing the 78’s iconic St. Charles Airline bridge, floats over the path, framing the view toward the stadium. The tower, featuring 1-3 bedroom units, provides views of the lake, river, skyline, and stadium. A 28th floor resident amenity provides a private bar and views for game day. Waves along the edges of the plan, as well as occasional window seating, provide panoramic viewing angles, while white terracotta cladding serves as an updated take on the cladding that adorns many First Chicago School buildings in the Loop.

Project Architect: Bill Browne, Adam Groth, David Bell
Role: Involved in developing 3d massing in conceptual design phase
Project
Multipurpose Football athletic facility for a University in Indiana. This high-performance competition, training and practice venue tries to make a lasting impact on campus and provide a modern learning environment for the team. This is a renowation project The Blackstock Stadium footprint remains relatively the same with seating for approximately 2,500 spectators and the stands are elevated to allow for clear views of the competition venue from all seats; private suites allow for indoor and outdoor seating for game day viewing.
Role
Aided in the development of 3D massing based on the context, user needs, climatic factors and client’s requirements. Ramp developement became a key factor to allow accessibility by creating this procession. Involved in several meetings and design iteration process.

Energy Harvester
Location: Chicago, Illinois, USA
Studio: Design Studio, 2022, M.Arch
ASCA Design Competition: 2023 COTE Competition
Instructor: Prof. Erik Hemingway
Academic Project
Energy harvester is an urban solution to the raising environmental and economical issues. The harvester is a sustainable solution to energy generation. It harvests and produces energy more than the conventional system, and its working helps reduce the cost of electricity for the general public. The harvester can be installed in any open site like parking, that does not disrupt the existing function of the site and adds to the functionality of the space. The current harvester is in the central part of Chicago. The site is identified as an open parking site, currently, only dedicated to parking. The site can serve a neighborhood to supply energy that consumes a major chunk of the city’s energy.

The project aims to power the site physical and functional features just a comfortable and refreshing but also help gain knowledge and The building will be a live renewable public. Installing energy harvester the parking sites lively and add

The Anemos
Location: UIUC, Illinois
Studio: AI and Computation Studio, 2023, M.Arch
Dynamic Library
Instructor: Prof. Yun Kyun Yi
Academic Project
Collaboration with two UIUC graduate students
“Anemos’ involved leveraging the capabilities of artificial intelligence to develop architectural designs. This method transformed a 2D image into a 3D structure by applying computational techniques to extract geometric shapes. The ultimate goal was to design a library featuring adaptable spaces. This was achieved through modular approaches, guided by user preferences and wind analysis, which played a crucial role in determining the design’s final form.”
