an architecture + design portfolio
Hi!
Within this portfolio lie several projects that summarize my experience and education in architecture - an experience I tailored to achieve an understanding of design at multiple scales as well as to manifest built objects and environments with my own two hands. Thank you for reading.

THESIS PART I - URBAN MASTERPLAN Completed in collaboration with Adam DiPaola & Alex Padgett | Winter 2017
GROUP INITIATIVES
The Portland Development Commission (PDC) is looking for an Urban Masterplan to redevelop a site currently occupied by a large Post Office. This portion of my thesis challenged groups of students to create their own masterplan to present to the PDC.

URBAN PLACE-MAKING FOR THE PEDESTRIAN CONTINUE the pattern of green spaces throughout Portland by extending the North Park Blocks. CONNECT the Pearl District to Union Station by extending Johnson street to Old Town. PROTECT walkers, bikers, and runners with a network of pedestrian-only streets. HONOR historic Union Station with appropriately scaled infill and a new public square. CONCLUDE the North Park Blocks with a public square occupied by city events, markets, and performances. CELEBRATE Portland by terminating the Park Blocks with a civic hub.

BROADWAY MARKET Acting as the pivot point between the Green Loop and the North Park Blocks, this plaza creates a vital public space fronting a new civic services hub, elementary school, and market hall.
PARK BLOCKS The civic pattern of 120’x200’ park blocks extends through the site until it meets the Broadway Market Plaza. Each block is anchored to the north and south by covered seating pavilions flanked by cafes.
MODELING TEAM I worked with a team of students to create a 1:50 model of our larger urban site.

THESIS PART II - PYCA Portland, Oregon | Spring 2017
The Portland Youth Center for Arts creates a centralized civic arts building that celebrates Portland’s love for art, craft, and trade.
This portion of my thesis studio challenged each student to choose a lot within their masterplan and individually design a building they believe would contribute to the development. The Portland Youth Center for Arts is a space where creativity is not only encouraged, but made a priority. The PYCA gives young people the opportunity to learn about creative fields and gain billable skills. The buildings facilities include creative spaces supporting painting, ceramics, fibers, sculpture, digital arts, digital fabrication, woodworking, etc. Page 8
GREAT ROOM The great room is a 140’ long open space filled with moments for spontaneous creativity. Repeated on every floor, the occupant interacts with this space as they move up the central staircase. Mounted canvases are on a small stage inviting anyone to contribute to the piece on the wall. These canvases act as a community mural and are rotated establishing a consistent creative energy in the space.
RESTAURANT + GALLERY The restaurant gallery is connected directly to the Market Stair. This space activates the intermediate plaza and serves a place to celebrate and enjoy the pieces crafted in the PYCA.
MASS TIMBER CONSTRUCTION Incorporating CLT floors and Glulam Post-Beam structure - a sustainable construction style that further reflects the values of the Pacific Northwest.

CONNECTION DISCOVERY CREATION The program of this facility is organized around these principles. Providing the opportunity to discover creative fields, see professionals in those fields at work, and to support all venues of creation.

The basic form of this building is composed of two mass timber wings bridged by a translucent glass and steel atrium. The northern wedge is programmed for art studios, public spaces, and administration the southern wedge is composed of stacked workshops. As one moves up the atrium they are consumed by creative energy - the active standing canvases in the great room and open workshop spaces reach into the central circulation space.
ENERGY Natural light is provided in ample quantities throughout the building - large curtain walls are accompanied by exterior shading systems. Stormwater management is largely addressed by a series of living roofs including the courtyard and accessible roof on the 6th oor office. A large pv array occupies the roof of the northern wing.

BRANDING + INTERIOR DESIGN Portland Blue Bottle Headquarters | Fall 2015
This headquarters, complete with a full roastery, will bring the carefully brewed coffee loved by the San Francisco Bay Area to thrive in Portland, Oregon.
This upper level studio challenged each student to create a headquarters for a company of their choosing. Originally from the Peninsula of the Bay Area, I was inspired to pick a company familiar to me.
Blue Bottle is the company Portland coffee fanatics have been waiting for. I chose Blue Bottle Coffee because of the founder’s unique passion and methods in fresh coffee production. The stark and simple logo gave me the opportunity to be bold in manifesting the brand in this built environment. Page 12
PIVOT POINT The oor plan was designed around the concept of a pivot point which became the atrium and main circulation. Within this atrium is a large scale carbon fiber sculpture of the blue bottle.
INTERIOR STUDIES Students were asked to develop this design with a major focus on 2 interior spaces. I chose the atrium and open office spaces. This studio marked a transition in my ability to model, render, and process images.

Building Integrated Living Designs Sustainably Design and construction of a single-family low-income home in Eugene, Oregon. The OregonBILDS program consists of three ten-week terms in which students have the opportunity to carry out portions of the real world design-build process. I participated in all 3 terms of the fall 2014 - spring 2015 project.

BUILDING ENCLOSURES Detail Orthographics
The final project in this course challenged students to design an enclosure for a hypothetical building in Portland. We were asked to calculate the location of the dew point, Wall-to-Window Ratio, R-value, Weighted R-value, and draw details of several critical transitions throughout the enclosure.

NET ZERO DESIGN STRATEGIES Energy Analysis + Design
The final project in this course challenged students to conduct an energy analysis on a hypothetical office building in Portland. The structures energy performance and square footage was based on the Bullitt Center in Seattle. Using End Use data from the Bullitt Center foundation and government online databases, I determined how much energy a hypothetical solar array could account for. 23,581 SF roof structure 18,865 SF available for pv array 1,076 Panels - producing approximately 371 kW 397,154 kWh per year (from pvwatts based on 5 degree tilt) The Bullitt Center uses 236,400 kWh per year 397,154 / 236,400 = 1.68 PV accommodates 168% of energy use

Fabrication LOVE FOR CREATION Fabrication is one of my favorite parts of the design field - whether that be creating a large site model or a hardwood chair.

WHITE OAK CHAIR Furniture Design Studio | Spring 2016 This studio challenged students to create their own unique chair design based off a model. This white oak chair includes many meticulous wooden joints and the image of a hand painted onto its surface.
CONCRETE PLANTER Concreteworks Intern Project | Summer 2016 I was an intern at a concrete fabrication company in Oakland, California. During my stay the staff allowed me to design and fabricate a concrete product. Through this process I learned how to operate a CNC mill and construct a concrete mold.
STEEL SHELF Portland Community College Metals Course | Fall 2016 This studio challenged students to create their own unique chair design based off a model. This white oak chair includes many meticulous wooden joints and the image of a hand painted onto its surface.

Field Sketches + Hand Media ROOTED IN ART I have been making art and illustrating since I was a small child and this passion is one of the things that led me to the field of architecture. Being able to loosely sketch and brainstorm on paper has been one of the tools that makes me an asset in group projects.
