To the EHDD Recruiting Team,

I am applying for the EHDD Internship Program with a dual interest in the San Francisco and Seattle offices. In June, I will graduate from the University of Washington (UW) with my B.A. in Architectural Design, a minor in Environmental Studies, and Departmental Honors. Outside of this coursework, I am the standing President of UW’s American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) chapter, a Teaching Assistant in the UW Department of Urban Design and Planning, an Architectural Intern, a member of Urban Sketchers Seattle, and a routine volunteer with the BLOCK Project, a Facing Homelessness organization

I believe my experiences as a student, instructor, leader, practitioner, and unfeigned idealist speak to my shared enthusiasm for EHDD’s mission: leading our field in a bold direction that emphasizes resilience, urbanization, and quality of life As Co-Chair for the 2024 AIAS West Quad Conference, BLOOM: Emerging Solutions for the Urban Sustainability, I have the unique opportunity to advocate within our profession for building innovation, climate change mitigation, and sustainable growth Because theses objectives are well-aligned with EHDD’s sustainable design goals, I have also been fortunate enough to engage with professionals from EHDD to facilitate your firm’s “Valley Tulip” tier sponsorship and energized participation. The UW AIAS chapter I lead has raised upwards of $32,000 for BLOOM, and we plan to welcome over 250 students from around the U.S. to Seattle in April!

All of this to say, I share a profound appreciation for EHDD’s sustainable design philosophy. As someone highly invested in solving the problems facing the Western United States today, I have every intention to pursue licensure as an architect and lead the movement toward a sustainable, equitable world After graduating and rounding off my UW AIAS presidency this spring, I am moving from Seattle to San Francisco Although I am particularly interested in an opportunity with the San Francisco office, this transition between cities provides flexibility for which position I could fill Working among the talented team at EHDD is one of those dream opportunities rare to present itself, but I am hopeful that I am an excellent fit for this internship role

I humbly thank you for considering my application to EHDD

The Bainbridge Island Eco-Arts Education Center cultivates creativity, sustainability, and community enrichment. As it forges a ramped throughway from Madrone Lane to Henshaw Way, this design takes advantage of its prime location between the city’s most active civic zones: townsquare and Winslow Way. Its purpose is to enhance, entice, and educate. In alliance with the AIA Design Excellence strategies, this mass-timber building specializes in water management, collecting rainwater from the grand sloping roofs in a cistern system, and filtering wastewater using bioswales.

The building stands in harmony with Bainbridge Island’s natural beauty, with humble, human-scale wood construction and public greenspaces that celebrate the city’s ecological and cultural identity. By serving as an incubator and civic space, the Eco-Arts Education Center would become a new “heart” of the Bainbridge Island community.

Little Lake Village is a new approach to remedy Seattle’s housing crisis. The vision prioritizes collective ownership, self-sustainability, and walkability, to create an egalitarian neighborhood welcoming a diverse array of residents and visitors. By fostering a space where individuals of various social strata can freely interact and build a shared collective identity, a community is created that promotes egalitarian ideals and values while dismantling socio-economic barriers.

Appropriate agency over one’s home encourages collective responsibility and humanistic growth, forming robust, thriving communities. Little Lake Village is an expansion of an existing tiny home community. Integrating social housing with market-rate units offers variety and permanence. The architecture maintains a transient, neighborly quality with higher density and without risk of demolition.

Unit designs, mapping, physical modeling, and greenhouse renderings are my own work. Other illustrating, ideating, and visualizing done in collaboration with my excellent team.

This project is a renovated gas station turned youth education daycare center, located in Seattle’s Georgetown neighborhood just off of Corson Ave. This building is composed of two small classrooms, a large gathering/kitchenette space, a library, two semi-private courtyards, and one playground at the central “heart.”

Quality daylighting and effective artificial lighting are most crucial within educational spaces. The intersection of light, greenspace, design, and education are important considerations in this project. Thick white stucco walls, permeable facades, and douglas fir accents give the space a sense of tactility to promote touch and play. The fascinating psychological considerations for designing learning space drove my creative process throughout the project.

Rhino model, floor plans, renderings, and photography are my own. Spatial design and model-making done in collaboration with peers.

Group Physical Model

The Union Bay Natural Area is a revitalized public greenspace, and formerly a dumping zone and parking lot. Mapping exercises explore the many layers of analyzing a site, especially in terms of history and context. My research focused on exposing the urban quality of this man-made space, especially as it manifested in light pollution from the nearby UW campus.

Tiered site maps made in collaboration with Ck He, Torin Howard, Hannah Hu, and Anthony Stoyanov.

The Tacoma Townhouses are a passion project for Ascend Development Group, a sustainable real estate development business that builds wealth and knowledge for BIPOC and women in the development community. We chose to take advantage of the new zoning that Tacoma implemented, which fast-tracks middle housing development projects. Our goal is to develop ten four-bedroom townhouses to provide dense, affordable family housing amidst Washington’s current housing crisis.

During my internship, I have taken the lead on client communication and developed drawing sets for contractors and the City of Tacoma.
