Professional Profile I have experience in development that is rooted in my passion for building community through innovative urban design. As a recent UCLA graduate of the Master’s in Urban and Regional Planning program, I possess the training and vision to address the challenges of planning cities for a rapidly growing diverse population. As such, I was honored to be awarded 1st prize in the 2014 Bank of America Merrill Lynch Affordable Housing Challenge for a project titled “Xipe Totec”. Xipe Totec, meaning “rejuvenation,” resulted from a community inspired development process that sought to address the needs of homeless youth in the City of Los Angeles. This project included 58 units of affordable housing, a social enterprise and a 6,800 sq. ft. community clinic. In all, the culmination of my work strives to achieve a vision of excellence through successful results without sacrificing social equity and financial feasibility.

Xipe Totec Xipe Totec, a mixed-use project with 58-units of affordable studio apartments and two community serving commercial spaces was the 2014 winner of the Bank of America Affordable Housing Challenge. The units are designed to serve the housing needs of low-income transitional age youth (TAY), meaning 18-25 year old youth that have aged out of the foster care system. The commercial spaces will house a medical clinic and a youth service center. Xipe Totec (pronounced si-pe toh-tec) is located along a well-used commercial corridor in the historical neighborhood of Boyle Heights. This project was noted by Bank of America as being an innovative, mixed-use and transit-oriented development project that is grounded in the local needs of Boyle Heights.

Due to the proximity of this project to the Metro Gold Line Soto Station and eight bus stops, this project is a perfect transit oriented mixed-use development. This feature is critical for residents and the neighborhood, many of whom do not own cars and are transit dependent. Xipe Totec is a stable permanent home for residents but also serves to anchor the community with health resources, educational support and work training. In Aztec mythology, Xipe Totec is the name of the god that created the East, the direction of the rising sun. Xipe Totec symbolizes regeneration and new roots in Boyle Heights - where youth have the opportunity to rebuild their lives and the future of their own neighborhood.

Crenshaw Maroon Plaza

Market-Rate Development Proposal

Crenshaw Maroon Plaza

Studio Concept Image

Western Elevation

Healthy eating is key for any community to thrive. With this understanding in mind, the Crenshaw Maroon Plaza has been designed as a successful commercial development that serves the needs of the South Los Angeles community. Crenshaw Maroon Plaza will be situated in the heart of South Los Angeles, where it aims to serve as a first step to rejuvenate the area. This project will enhance a community that is influenced by the legacy of its African American culture and history. Inspired by the legacy of early American Maroon settlements this project is centered on the theme of community, autonomy, and healthy living.

Currently South Los Angeles suffers from a lack of access to healthy foods. Due to this fact, it is estimated $19.5 million dollars in grocery store sales “leak” out of this area when residents travel to other areas to shop for food. Crenshaw Maroon Plaza proposes to fill this void by developing a full service grocery store as well as community serving retail space and forward thinking energy efficient modern housing. Specifically, this project will feature a full service grocery store, retail space, and 2-bedroom + studio apartments. Retail space provided would include two new 1,000 square feet dining restaurants, a coffee shop, and a new banking service center. The Crenshaw Maroon Plaza would also offer community space for the general public and open space for the new residents to enjoy.

Envisioning LA’s Great Streets

3D Visual Modeling

Street Remodel Downtown LA

Project Site

Aerial View of Little Tokyo Neighborhood

The Great Streets Initiative recently adopted by Mayor Eric Garcetti envisions making LA’s streets some of the greatest in the country. This effort strives to create streets that serve as the nexus of bikable, sustainable, beautiful, green, pedestrian oriented, and innovative street design. As such this proposal provides a revision of a busy street located in the heart of Little Tokyo in downtown Los Angeles slated to become a “great street.” Included in the vision of this remodel is a bike lane, permeable streetscaping with water collection technology, and a rooftop garden featuring sustainable food growing circular planter beds leveraging beautiful views of downtown LA.

Location: 2nd St. & Central Ave. Los Angeles, CA Added Features: + Bike Lane + Rooftop Garden + Permeable Streetscaping Site Attributes: • Future Connector Metro Station Site • LA Job Hub Site • Adjacent to LA City Hall Rooftop Garden

Van Nuys Industrail Arts Campus

Site Planning

Industrial Arts Campus The existing industrial core of the San Fernando Valley is aging and out-of-date. The Department of Water and Power (DWP) facility located at this site sits at a prime location in a transit heavy intersection, yet the site is severely underutilized and lacks any image or identity. The Van Nuys Industrial Arts Campus proposes to reuse, reconfigure, and revitalize the aging Van Nuys industrial core with an injection of more modern, innovative, and catalytic industrial arts transit-oriented infill development. This proposal envisions creating a regional center for industrial arts and technology based innovation and a laboratory for local entrepreneurship.

GIS Data Analysis

The map above uses a hot spot spatial analysis to determine areas most in need of a bart train station in the surounding Bay Area region in Northern California. The analysis includes characteristics such as population density, transit usage statistics, and existing bart station locations. As can be seen in the map, the areas most in need of a station are delineated in red while the areas least in need are seen as off white.

Mapping

The above map demonstrates locations of bike sharing programs in Washington D.C. Additionally the map utilizes U.S. Census tracts to demonstrate population density. As can be seen areas with the highest density, seen in dark orange, with no bike share programs would be most likely to benfit from the development of a bike sharing program.

The map above demonstrate the location of the largest concentration of narcotics related crimes in Los Angeles in 2012. Additionally it also demonstrates the location of rehabilation service providers with a boundary buffer of 1 mile. As can been seen in the map the highest conentration of crimes for 2012 was located in South and East Los Angeles. Interestingly, the location of rehabilitation services in 2012 were distributed sparsely without any particular concentration in one area of Los Angeles.

The map above provides a hot spot GIS spatial analysis determining prime locations most in need of rehabilitation services based on data from 2012. The analysis takes into consideration reported narcotics related crimes, proximity to existing rehabilitation service providers, as well as populations identified as at risk including low income families. As can be seen in the map the areas most in need are delineated by the color red while the areas least in need are seen in green.
