PROFILE As part of my undergraduate studies, I became more exposed to urban planning and urban design, two subjects that I hope to continue learning about. I also have an interest in sustainable design. As a former Environmental Studies minor, I think it is important to understand the way our natural ecosystems work, and the effects our built environment has on these ecosystems. Ultimately, I hope to combine both my passion for the environment and architecture in my professional career.

ARCH 609 Design Studio | Spring 2021 This project is a transportation Hub located in downtown Kansas City, MO. The project offers a means for people to get in and out of the city at high speeds. The goal of this project was to not only offer a public transit center in the heart of Kansas City, but also offer a variety of amenities to all residents and visitors to Kansas City. The hub features shopping, local restaurants, and an exhibition space for local artists to display their work. A special feature of this project is its location. The site is situated directly above highway 670, between Grand and Walnut. The two blocks west of the site have been programmed to be transformed into urban greenspace. This greenspace, along with the hub, help create a stronger link between both sides of the city, that once felt diconnected because of the highway. This helps increase pedestrian walkability in the area, hopefully increasing transit ridership and business in the process. community for years to come, as well as spur ongoing development within the community.

MULLTI-USE HOUSING LAWRENCE, KS
ARCH 608 Design Studio | Fall 2020 100,000 square foot multi-generation housing complex. The project looks to create a community of different demographics by offering multiple unit types (1 BR, 2 BR, 3 BR, and ADA). The building offers amenties such as a gym, yoga studio, children’s area, game room, lounges, study spaces, and outdoor areas like seating, fire pits, and a dog park. The building strives to be a place where people truly can live, work, and play. While social interaction is encouraged, personal space and wellbeing is also prioritized. Another important aspect of the building are the sustainable strategies integrated into the building through water retention systems, solar panels, recycling, native plants, etc. These strategies not only look to minimize the buildings impact on its environment, but also serve as educational opportunities for the residents who live there. Programs used: Revit, Sketchup, Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Lumion

MULTI-USE HOUSING 11TH AND MASS ST
ARCH 502 Design Studio | Summer 2019 Located in downtown Lawrence, KS, this is a multi-use development consisting of a commercial space at the street level, an outdoor public space, and 30 apartment units. (Ten 2-bedroom and Twenty studio units). The project strives to encapsulate the upbeat and kinetic energy of the surrounding Lawrence neighborhood and create a space for all members of the community to enjoy. The design process was composed of a series of smaller assignments without an understanding of what the final result was going to be. (1. landscape - this ended up being the park-like outdoor space. 2. wall- this would become the central corridor and major structural element of the building. 3. repeating modules- these would comprise the individual units.) This design process forced me to think about how I was going to connect all three smaller elements into one cohesive design. Programs used: Rhino, Revit, Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Lumion

PHOTOGRAPHY
One of my favorite hobbies is photography. It allows me to capture some of the most random and wonderful moments in my life. The following photos, in no particular order, represent some of my favorite things. The formation of clouds in the sky, the first blooms of spring, vacationing in the mountains, architectural sights in Singapore, Malaysia, and Japan, or the patterns of a building facade and how the sun and shadows interact. These photos represent things, places, and moments that have and continue to bring me peace and happiness.
