I am an architecture student at the University of Kansas and alumni of the Interior Architecture program, also of KU. My goal with my education is to expand my knowledge as much as I can, in order to best serve people in the future. My goal with design includes creating spaces and buildings that are restorative, both mentally and physically. Focusing on the psychology behind architecture and design can lead to spaces that are successful in a multitude of ways.

ANSCHUTZ LIBRARY + STUDENT SUCCESS CENTER

Master of Architecture Accelerated Design Studio Summer 2022

The remodel of the Anschutz Library on KU’s campus is working to revitalize the building. The new idea is to create the Student Success Center, where students will be able to find everything they need from finance management to tutoring. Exploding a large atrium will create a space where students and staff will congregate from many axes reaching out to different parts of the building and campus itself.

Interior Architecture Design Studio IV

Spring 2022

The Hilltop Child Development Center combines three pre-existing programs run by the University of Kansas. These include the programs of Clinical Child Psychology, Applied Behavioral Sciences, and the daycare on campus. This two-story building will be developed into a research-based facility that encourages the interdependence of all three fo these moving parts.

THE BODY STANDARDS MUSEUM

Interior Architecture Design Studio III

Spring 2021

Located in Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts, The Body Standard’s Museum works to break down the impact and importance of beauty standards set by society. The user experiences this as they move through the imperfect spaces of the museum. Emphases on imbalance, curvature, and unconventional beauty create an atmosphere that allows the user to see the true beauty of themselves and others.

Architectural model by Jose Moreno

The spaces focused on in the bottom left corner include the Lounge, Multimedia Space, and the Reflection Space. As the user moves through these spaces, they have the chance to interact with technology that will teach them about society’s body standards, they can relax and socialize in the lounge, and they can walk through the Reflection Space, where they can see each other and themselves in the mirrors and reflect on everyone’s imperfect beauty.

FOSTERADOPT CONNECT Interior Architecture Design Studio II

Spring 2020

FosterAdopt Connect is a non-profit organization that works with children, youth, and families as they navigate the complexities of the foster care system, leading them in a positive and healing direction. The intent of this project is to create a new space for the organization that includes office spaces for faculty, a homeless shelter for foster youth, a food pantry and clothing closet for foster youth to utilize, and studio apartments on the top floor for those who have aged-out of the foster care system.

SELF-ACTUALIZATION

LOVE, BELONGING, AND SELF-ESTEEM SECURITY

PHYSICAL

The design of this space will initiate the transition of the user through the Hierarchy of Needs, a theory in which a human must obtain physical needs before looking inward and finally discovering self-actualization, the realization of one’s potential.

RENDERINGS

Security in a space not only means safety, but it means understanding the space that one is in and being able to work or act the way one wants to in the space. Providing a wide variety of office types, including private, co-working, and multiperson offices is an example of this that can be found throughout the building.

POST-FRAME DESIGN INTERNSHIP

Wick Buildings

June 2021 - Present

While working for Wick Buildings, I was given the AutoCAD floor plans and exterior renderings of 12 shouses, houses designed with a post-frame construction. I used Revit and Enscape in order to extrude the 2D plans and create realistic renderings for clients in order for them to see what their project will look like.

2020 - Present

As a personal project, I worked with my parents to design their dream lakehouse. Using a post-frame construction style, I designed a six-bedroom, 3 1/2 bathroom house with a large kitchen, great room, loft, and laundry room. The floor plans were designed by me, as were the renderings. I sent these to Wick Buildings, and they made minor engineering changes and sent out a crew to build it.

EASE

During my undergraduate studies, I worked toward getting my undergraduate certificate in Architectural Acoustics. After taking 18 credits of acoustics-related courses, I became proficient in the software Enhanced Acoustic Simulator Engineers, a program used to evaluate acoustical elements in a space.

For our final project, we studied The Spencer Art Museum. The employees there had concerns of intense echo, which prevented them from being able to hear others’ well in the space.

MODEL

Above is an EASE model of The Spencer Art Museum, located on the campus of the University of Kansas. The model is made up of surfaces and materials, and is used to evaluate reverberation time.

1/3 Octave Band

The chart above includes data taken by a device called a Sound Level Meter. This device measures and logs values relating to frequency, level, time weighting, and reverberation time. Below are the values for reverberation time in each 1/3 Octave Band. This allows us to see where the problem areas are in the space. The bolded columns show which octave bands need focus. For example, the reverberation time in the 100 Hz octave band has extreme dissimilarities. This could tell us that the space needs absorbent materials that work well for low-end frequencies.
