Introduction and process...
My process as an artist and a future architect can best be described as painterly - gradually building upon many layers of information. As I continue to define my calling in life, both personally and professionally, I find myself exploring many avenues in order to hone my skills further. This past year I dove into a series of self
portraits done with oil paint, and I feel because of this exploration I have been able to effectivley manage my time - organizing a balance between work and life, and also merge my love for painting with my technical skills in architecture. I hope you enjoy looking through my portfolio and selected body of work, thank you.

EMBRACE
YSOA Fall ‘24 | Core III Studio
Critic | Martin Cox, Bade Stageberg Cox, NYC
Duration | 16 weeks
To encapsulate whats interwoven like a falling basket...
A former Carnegie Library, later converted into a church in the late 20th century, sits at the corner of Dixwell Avenue in New Haven, CT. The opportunity to adapt and reuse this building for the Ethical Culture Society of New York allows for the creation of shared theistic and nontheistic communal spaces, along with childcare facilities, libraries, and educational resources. The semester began with a
group research project analyzing the existing building and site conditions, followed by massing models and precedent studies. These explorations informed the central ideas of the project, which include fostering symbiotic and coexisting relationships, embracing and extending the site’s potential, creating spaces for communal gathering, and preserving the building’s historical significance.

HEARTH (HOME)
YSOA Spring ‘24 | Building Project Studio
Critic | Laura Briggs and Adam Hopfner
Duration | 16 weeks
A home where the hearts at the hearths...
A defining moment in the Yale School of Architecture curriculum is the annual Building Project, where M.Arch I students collaborate on their first group project, tackling realworld challenges. The students are tasked with designing and constructing a home for teachers of the Quakers Association in New Haven, Connecticut. The project required direct client engagement and tight deadlines, providing invaluable
hands-on experience. Located at 54 Howard Street in Fairhaven Heights, the house features a simple L-shaped form comprising three distinct spaces. Generous thresholds define the boundaries between the two private units and the shared central space. The optimized cores serve as the “hearths” of each unit, symbolizing the heart of a home and organizing essential functions in one convenient location.

Aquarium Hotel set in the playing ground of boutique hotels in Miami, Florida...
As part of a semester-long Interior Design thesis at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, students are encouraged to chart their own creative paths by selecting a site and design theme of their choice. Okeanos Aquarium Hotel explores hospitality and entertainment
design, envisioning an immersive aquarium hotel in South Beach, Miami, Florida. Centered on marine ecology, the project aims to engage diverse communities by offering educational opportunities and celebrating the beauty of the underwater world.
Learn about aquatic life through dynamic exhibits and hands on experiences. Lighting, atmosphere and materiality all will play a role in experiencing what the ocean is all about.

Robotic Dairy farming meets the community of Nebraska...
As apart of a collaborative studio established in the first semester of the final year ar UNL, architecture, interior, and landscape students are tasked to work together on a locally based studio project. This studio centered around robotic dairy farming brings the automated dairy community to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Located on the corner lot of Salt Creek Road and
Transformation Drive in Lincoln, Nebraska, KÖPRÜ is a facility that focuses on bridging the gap between the community of Nebraska and innovative dairy farming.
KÖPRÜ’s mission is to educate the citizens of Nebraska on dairy farming and its processes through exploration and animal interaction.
