The New Life of the Silo - April 2017 The Ontario Food Terminal is arguably the most important food destination in Toronto. However, through a lack of signage and public domain, there is an opportunity for architecture/design to transform the OFT into a recognized active community similar to Toronto’s Kensington Market. Through the adaptation of a basic form and visual language, the addition of flexible and adaptable modules, will not only bring a new liveliness and awareness to daily operations but also socially feed the immediate growing community.

Dragonflies, The Grasshopper Way - March 2017 This project was an exploration of Rhino plug-in, Grasshopper. A dragonfly’s general anatomy was written into the program, allowing for infinite dragonfly anatomy variations.
From Grasshopper to 3D Print - March 2017 This project was an exploration of Rhino plug-in, Grasshopper. A pattern, based on an animal, was created and then applied to a surface and 3D printed. The CNC cut styrofoam was also designed to compliment the smooth curves of the prints edge.
Crocheted Works - Summer 2015 - Personal Initiative The interior of domes, from churches to opera houses are continuously used for ornamentation. Through further exploration of material I wanted to emphasize this reality through crochet models, and then experiment further to bring this traditional craft into a modern lens.
