I was drawn to the University of Oregon originally for the interior architecture program. After two years of study I discovered that I had a passion for not only interiors but architecture as well. It has been my dream ever since to create a career in the design field. I love the constantly changing demands that comes with design and I always welcome a challenge. I am regularly setting goals for myself and always looking for opportunities to push the limits of what I know. The concept of creating a building or spaces that people will experience and interact with is one that excites me with each project I am presented. The following pages are a representation of my academic work and the University of Oregon and a reflection of who I am as a designer.

Nature School 2016 - Thesis Proposal
6
This proposal is for a complete redesign of Jefferson High School. Jefferson is Portland’s most diverse school and is located in Northeast Portland in a quickly gentrifying residential neighborhood across the street from Portland Community College. The goal of this project is provide a place for students to gain a sense of belonging, increase their educational skills, and graduate from high school with a strong career path while building a culture of place through nature and innovative educational design. In addition, the school should support the community by providing an urban green infrastructure that acts as a resource for the current residents. Ultimately resulting in an architectural form that would create compelling places where students want to be through nature while enhancing the surrounding neighborhood with added greenery and resources. 7

Granville Island Stage Spring 2015 - Vancouver, B.C. Study Abroad
12
About
Granville Island is one of the iconic destinations of Vancouver B.C, In addition to its fabulous public market, the island hosts artist of all different trades. During a visit to Granville one can experience the art of making fine spirits, witness the craft of pottery throwing, and enjoy some live entertainment at any of the island’s street corners. The idea to add a theater to the island’s many amenities emerged from the clear consentrations of existing art amenties. Granville Island Stage would become a popular evening destination for locals and tourist alike, introducing a much needed night life to the island. In addition to the theater, the Island Stage will house two leasable office spaces, a restaurant with a rooftop bar, and leasable studios with storefronts for artists. The Island stage is meant to act as a landmark for the island, establishing a central focused promenade as well as providing a hub for the theatrical venues of Granville. 13

Kinetic Curtain
Kinetic Theater Design The Kinetic Curtain is designed to be the focal point of a mid-sized drama theater. Its traditional function is to act as a barrier between the audience and production crew. However the motion of the curtain is refreshingly untraditional as it moves in a kaleidoscope fashion to reveal the stage, leaving an audience completely mesmerized. The curtain consists of three layers of units, attached above, below, or on the sides of the stage to structural frames. Each unit rotates around a single fixed point and within each unit translucent panels are attached to metal arms. As the panels rotate in different directions the units orchestrate to offer a captivating, visual experience for the audience. In a sense the curtain becomes a show in itself.

Powell’s Park
Spring 2014 - In collaboration with Gianni Africano
18
About
Powell’s Bookstore is located in the heart of downtown Portland, Oregon and is the second most visited tourist destination in the state. The future of Powell’s Bookstore is dependent on a variety of factors. Issues ranging from the extinction of books, emerging technologies, and how to accommodate rapidly increasing populations will impact the success of Powell’s in the future. Portland has already begun to plan for urban densification by implamenting strategies to increase affordable housing, commercial development opportunities, and public transportation. As buildings have begun to go vertical, open green spaces are becoming exponentially more valuable at all scales of urban life. Retail settings such as Powell’s would benefit from attractive open spaces, increased local activity, and architecture as a sensation as opposed to decoration. It is in this state of mind that we have decided to integrate a park with the essence of a playful journey into the Powell’s Program. Powell’s Park is meant to supplement the bookstore to ensure Powell’s longevity as an icon of Portland. Gianni Africano and I embracied having a desgin partner, working togeather on every aspect of the design from selecting a program to final design images.

284 Hope Loop Fall 2013 - Design Build
24
About
This was a design-build studio. The University of Oregon partnered with a local nonprofit, NEDCO, and set out to design a house that would become a new home for a low-income family in the Eugene area. During the design phase of this house, budget and livability were issues that students were constantly faced with. Hours of students’ time was dedicated to interviewing relators, the new home’s surrounding neighbors, and most importantly its target market. In addition to creating a space that a family could grow and thrive in, the studio also set out to make the home LEED gold. All the design, landscape, construction, electrical, and plumbing plans were student created. My role in this project was during the design phase, designing and creating the final construction set.The following spread demostrates the pieces of this project that I worked to contribute to and create. Today the house is ready to enter the market and expected to find a family to inhabit soon!

Kennel Ellis Adaptive Reuse Winter 2013 -Interior Architecture Studio
30
About
Kennel Ellis was a photographer that opened shop in Eugene, Oregon in 1950. When he finally retired his final mark on Eugene was the building his studio was housed in. Today, the building is a beautifully constructed, two story, 1950’s office building which is one of Eugene’s only historically landmarked buildings. Unfortunately, while the façade of the building remains true the era in witch it belongs to, the interiors of the space have been totally gutted and now an obvious disconnect exists between the interior and exterior of the building. As an interior studio project, students where given a client who was looking to inhabit Kennel Ellis with a local food incubator. With the opportunity to strip the building of its interiors once more, the new design brings back the essence of the 1950’s but with a fresh modern twist. The intent of this space is to create an educational food hub for the Eugene community. The kitchen, as an interactive teaching tool, is central to this scheme. It provides a focal point in the space and acts as an attention grabbing and informative bridge between the community and the incubator’s supporting spaces which all attempt to reflect the fun, energetic era that the 1950’s were all about. 31
The Site
Designed in 1947, by Robert Wilmsen for his client, for whom the Kennel Ellis building is named after, the building was meant to serve as a photography studio on the second floor and retail spaces on the ground floor. The ground floor also included a gallery space for Kennel Ellis’s work. In addition to its rich program, the building was one of the first constructed during Eugene’s post- World War II boom. The building was deemed a historical landmark in 1986 by the city of Eugene. 32
