Portfolio of Work
“I must become a better version of myself�. I say this to myself now because I am consciously aware of how much I want to improve. I have had this mindset as a child though I was not aware of it. This desire for self-improvement combined with curiosity and determination is what defines me as a student.
I wish to contribute to the urban environment which respects nature to the highest extent. I intend to join a design school which will encourage curiosity while reciprocating and rewarding determination, a school which respects every person’s vision. I hope to attend a progressive school which encourages experimentation and conceptualization while helping students evolve into greater versions of themselves. Perfection is impossible to reach but why not try?

Study Abroad
Helsinki, Finland
Summer 2017 A study of how Finnish Designers and Finnish People appreciate natural light. Finland recieves 19 hours of sunlight in the summer and 5 hours of light during the winter while Baltimore receives 14 hours of light in the summer and 8 hours of light in the winter. With such a great contrast in light intake I got the chance to observe how Finnish designers appreciate natural light with human scale light, beyond human scale light, functional light, and contrast.
