5th year architect student at the Fay Jones School of Architecture + Design. The work presented here demonstrates the development of my skills + design concepts throughout my five years as an architect student. My goal is to never stop learning and continue to develop my skills by broadening my knowledge and perspective of the built environment as I begin my career in the profession.

MUSEUM OF SOUTHERN PHOTOGRAPHY Beale St. - Memphis, TN
DAYLIGHT + CLIMATE MAIN ENTRY
MAIN ENTRY
The Museum of Southern Photography and Visual Arts will be built on the west end of Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee. The new structure will add vitality to a street already known for its music, food and history by bringing exhibitions, educational programs and cultural exchange. The museum is dedicated to the work of famous photographer William Eggleston. The explorations of photographic media through exhibition, collection, and publication will examine the history of his photography and showcase current practice in photography and related media. To serve a diverse audience the museum will present programs that recognize the variety and complexity of the cultural experience. On the west side of the site the landing runs along the Mississippi River to create a link between the rich activities of Beale Street and the museum. Key form determinants for the design were main entry, a view to the river front and sloped roofs to maximize solar collection.

Once one of Arkansas’ great towns and economic centers, Pine Bluff’s downtown can be retooled to provide premium residential environments for all income groups. Like many underutilized middle American cities, Pine Bluff offers highvalue land and buildings for low cost. The demand among young and old for mixeduse environments that cities uniquely generate inspired the design for this area. Accordingly, “Re- Live Downtown” remakes the downtown into a collection of great 8TH ST.ST. neighborhoods for all including workforce housing offering neighborhoods for city, school, and university staffs. UACDC has been charged with the preparation of the downtown revitalization plan for the city. Given the large size of the downtown area and its extent of abandonment, we opt for an asset-based plan that energizes “centers of strength”, existing and new. The Framework Plan begins with a nimble investment structure to build momentum—a start-up city—rather than a full build-out master plan of downtown

Proposed residential squares east of Main Street to capitalize on their proximity to the future library, the Arts, and Science Center for Southeast Arkansas on Main Street. These educational institutions support new family-friendly village greens and housing development, making downtown a residential option once again for families. Known as pocket neighborhoods, residential greens fronted by housing provide secure play space for children and space for adults to socialize. The shared green substitutes for the private front lawn.

CRYSTAL BRIDGES ARTIST HOUSING Dickson St. - Fayetteville, AR
As a significant part of their public outreach initiatives involving art and art education, the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art wishes to develop a satellite facility in Fayetteville for traveling art exhibits as well as local and regional exhibits. In addition, this facility would include artists’ apartments and studios, as an additional way of supporting and encouraging local and regional artists. To advocate for sustainable buildings and products, as well as for state and regional economies the design would use wood products for primary building elements, especially for structural and cladding systems.
As a project thats meant to house artist, we were given the opportunity to choose what type of artist would occupy our building. I chose shadow artist to allow me to design the ideal spaces for the artist, where light and shadow play a key components of the design process. The spaces are designed to carefully control lighting throughout the day in the studios as well as in the galleries.

Forest to Frame- This studio explored the tradition within the life cycle of the vast southern pine timberlands of Arkansas, new engineered wood technologies such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), and one of the most fundamental human needs- shelter. There is a cultural tradition of communities of artists, scholars, and student living and working together. The intent is to explore this form of cooperative housing in a housing project constructed by the University and built with mass timber sourced from Arkansas forests. Utilizing the resources of local forests and fabricators available today, the design intent is to connect the experiential to the prosaic, and the urban to the rural. We believe this connection can be leveraged to inform the future of this way of building with mass timber in the region.

The course explored furniture design and construction through three separate design projects at the scale of a chair. One of the three projects was chosen for construction at full scale. My chosen design was the “wire/line chair”. the design came from a simple line drawing that could be continuous in elevation. The profile is simple and clean, and is constructed out of steel. The seat itself was designed to blend in with the profile using birch wood.
