Architecture is unparalleled in that it spans cultures, religions, elements, and history. Because of this, it makes design unique to the individual; their backgrounds, idealogies, and experience all are combined to create a work of art. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I have always had a love of the outdoors, and architecture that seeks to blend inside and outside worlds together. Throughout my career and education at Washington State University, I strived to study and create unique designs that encompassed my passion for nature, and my belief that sustainable design and green living should be at the forefront of our minds. My ideal firm would be a place that embodies an open and collaborative work environment, values curiosity and is passionate about designing with the future of our planet as a priority. I also hold education in the highest regard; receiving a Masters of Architecture from WSU, becoming a licensed architect has always been a logical next step for me, and a firm that provides assistance with exams and the licensing process would be optimal. My diversified background, education and experience working at a small firm with one-on-one training have given me a foundation for my professional career. Being skillful in multiple software and having diverse interests sets me apart as a designer and problem solver, in addition to being an extrovert and approachable as a person has allowed me to facilitate connections that I know will benefit me in my journey to come. This portfolio seeks to portray my professional and academic accomplishments to date, my capabilities, and my eye for aesthetic design. Thank you for your interest, and I look forward to connecting with you.

pullmAN civic center Mixed- use project Location: Pullman wa 2014
This design for the Pullman mixed-use building was created by combining function with form to create a unique space for both living and occupying. The design features a system of pushing and pulling that seeks to create interesting spaces, and terracing which allows for views out over the river as well as downtown Pullman. Glass is one of the dominant materials used, and is a main feature for both the first and second floors as it allows for copious amounts of natural light to enter. A restaurant is located in the rear of the building overlooking the river, and terraced concrete steps lead down to the river, allowing people to interact with it as well.

program
This terracing can be further exemplified inside the building, playing on the overall tectonics of the building itself. A two story atrium style cafe forms the rest of the first and second floors. The third story contains an outside garden space as well as offices, and the top two floors are residential. The layout of the building was intended to allow for public spaces to be located near the bottom of the building and as one ascends the spaces become increasingly private.

02 educatorium design educational Location: Pullman wa 2014
This design for an educatorium focuses on the sensory experience of water through the manipulation of the floor element. It is intended to create an environment that further connects campus through education as well as containing areas of public research and exhibition space. This design also incorporates a variety of program functions including an auditorium space, scholar residences, offices, classrooms, and open research and exhibition spaces. The auditorium space fully incorporates the use of water through a large skylight that supports the pool above, which is set directly atop the space and creates a dynamic and interesting space though letting in natural sunlight and views to above. A water system was also designed that allows water to fall from the pool ,acting as walls for the auditorium space. To further embody the sensory element of water, misting benches, a water channel and a rain wall are also located in the building . Overall, the element of water plays an integral part in the design, and connects all aspects of the site together.

03 media tech center mixed use & MUSEUM Location: seattle, wa 2015
Located in the South Lake Union area of Seattle, Washington the design for the Media Tech Center integrates a series of exhibition spaces located across two buildings which are linked by an exterior skybridge. The tech center incorporates the use of perforated metal panels, which seek to embody the spirit of Seattle by portraying images of the Seattle skyline, rain, and Mt. Rainier. The South building features exhibiton space, a rooftop cafe, and garden plaza. The North building has four floors of exhibition space, in addition to an Amazon store located at groundfloor. This project was accomplished throught the 2015 Washington State University Capstone competiton, which was an integration of both architecture and construction management students, and this project was chosen as the winner of the competition.
26
site context
This site is located in a busy commercial district, however seeks to create a place that can be welcoming to all. The cafe serves as a connection between the general public and those who are visiting the Media Tech Center. The artistic metal paneling also acts as a unique site element meant to draw curious visitors inside.

04 parking driven design MULTI-FAMILY DESIGN Location: vancouver, wa 2015
The concept for this mixed use building was designed with parking as the inspiration for which the rest of the building is constructed around. The idea of having residents able to drive up and park directly outside their home is not a radical one; however it is a progressive idea for Vancouver at this time. To make this possible, a large ramping system was created that links the North and South sites together over Fourth Street. Each level of the parking is designated a certain color to suggest hierarchy, as well as the glass curtain walls that wrap around the parking are comprised of colored solar panel glass. This contributes to making this building unique and an icon for the city. To further service the residents, a car wash is located on the ground floor of the South site, in addition to a bus stop that would be added on the corner of Columbia and Fourth Street to allow for easier access for commuting. Each unit dwelling is equipped with a large balcony which acts as a backyard, along with “front yard� space.

Located at the heart of downtown Vancouver, the site is located parallel to Interstate 5, and transportation to and from the site was a vital part of the design. As there is little to no parking space downtown, an innovated parking startegy was needed for the hundreds of occupants living in the building. 32

light: a study on 05 healing architecture and health thesis project location: beloit, wisconsin 2016
This project explored the relationship between architecture and health care facilities, and how building design can have an impact on the health of it’s inhabitants. The project involved researching and then developing an ideal model for a cancer care facility involving an element already found in healthcare facilities. This study explored the effects of natural light on health, and how daylight can influence someone’s healing experience based on program layout, site analysis, and building skin systems. The study was published as a section in the book Architecture and Cancer: An Architectural Inquiry of Cancer Care Centers which explored the variety of ways that healthcare facilities can be improved. It is with studies such as this that hopefully the world will begin to design with natural elements in mind, and the health of its inhabitants being the driving force in the design.
44
environmental conditions The site chosen for this study was located in Beloit, Wisconsin before designing
the site, how the site received natural daylight needed to be explored to find the optimal position for the building design. As the sun moves across the sky, it creates a variety of daylight qualities relative to its orientation. At sunrise and sunset, or in East and West directions, daylight typically exhibits high levels of intensity and direct ray paths. During midday, North- and South-facing daylight is known to be a soft, diffused, and uniform condition. Further impacting the perceived quality of daylight is the relative position of the sun in the sky. The position of the sun is measured by its azimuth and altitude - the position angle along the horizon and above the horizon, respectively. These relative positions are dependent on the latitude and longitude of a site. In Beloit, Wisconsin, the position of the sun is almost always south-facing and its summer sun is at a higher position in the sky than its winter sun. sunlight path digram 8am - 5pm et

Northern light tends to be cooler and softer, as well as more uniform. Southern light tends to be more intense and variable. 45
S
da ylighting quality index Once the lighting conditions were determined for the proposed site, it
was then imperative to create a index with which ideal lighting qualities could be quantified. The aim of this index is to assess and correlate both the quantitative and qualitative conditions of daylight with respect to its varying visual intensities. It is important to note that the footcandle values assigned to each quality type (provided to gauge its visual intensity) were derived specifically from indoor conditions and were determined through measurements taken using the Lux Meter iPhone App.
02 | SHADED DAYLIGHT: 1-30 Foot-candles Shaded spaces demonstrate strong contrasts between light and dark, referred to as chiaroscuro, and are able to achieve an increased understanding of volume and threedimensionality.
03 | DAPPLED DAYLIGHT: 10-35 Foot-candles Dappled daylight also demonstrates high levels of contrast and increased visual perception by occupants in a space. Daylight which passes through a dappled medium has potential to be stimulating, dynamic, and reduces patient hospital stays and healing time.
04 | DIFFUSED DAYLIGHT: 20-70 Foot-candles Diffused daylight is created through the use of large light-reflecting surfaces. Its presence creates qualities such as steadiness, consistence, softness, pleasantness, and minimization of visual noise. It is able to emphasize the three-dimensionality and shape of a space and, because its contrast levels are subtle and manageable, is often referred to as being ‘good light’ for a wide variety of programmatic needs.
05 | BRIGHT DAYLIGHT: 70-1000 Foot-candles On a hormonal level, bright light is responsible for the production of serotonin, the neurotransmitter which regulates psychiatric health and battles disorders such as depression, anorexia, bulimia, and social anxiety. Because of this, bright light can create environments of happiness.
46
proposed center: site The site location is set in Beloit, Michigan and has overwhelming
bright and blinding light conditions, which are not ideal. The proposed design for the site would utilize the adjacent forest as a means to create dappled daylighting conditions throughout the main circulation datum and appropriate programs. Strategically placed meadows allow for remaining programs to receive bright, diffused, or shaded daylight. To facilitate entrance into the site, two roads have been created. The north road would serve primarily as a staff entrance while the southern road would provide a direct entrance for patients and visitors. Additional trees were added between the Center and both parking areas and adjacent roads to minimize the blinding reflective quality of nearby cars and to provide a more tranquil entrance experience into the site.

proposed treatment center This proposed design of the Beloit center will promote quality of daylight as an
architectural medium, its goal being to facilitate a healing atmosphere. Based on studies found which demonstrated that patients with access to stimulating daylight environments healed faster, this design seeks to expand and utilize the adjacent forest as a daylight filtering medium to create a dappled effect. The circulation of the treatment center is made to serve as a continuous datum, connecting a series of distinct programatic containers which together create a gallery of each established lighting type The lighting index found on page 42 provides a framework for these distinct types of lighting and attempts to reconcile the disconnect between quantity and quality.

PROPOSED daylighting quALITIES The light index above demonstrates sunlight attributes currently proposed for the Beloit
Cancer Treatment Center. Approximately 25% of the center would demonstrate diffused daylighting through the use of light shelves that diffuse incoming daylight off of the ceiling surface down into the space, as well as translucent screening and shading devices. 60% of sunlight entering the center will be dappled by means of vegetation to provide visual contrast in area of movement and treatment. Bright light and no light areas each encompass 10% of the remaining spaces, with the residual 5% being shaded light. Each of these distinctions are based off of the recommended illuminance levels for the tasks occurring within these spaces. 49

da ylighting matrix This matrix (below) illustrates a wide distribution of daylighting types to be
found in the design of the Beloit center. Each type of sunlight is correlated to a specific program based on the task demands. Both the quantity and quality of daylight were equally prioritized to generate stimulating and beneficial environments.

The sections below help to illustrate the different qualities of lighting that can be found in each of the spaces, depending on the function of the spaces and the need for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occupants. Dappled lighting occurs in transition spaces to provide a calming and tranquil environment as one circulates around the building. The wayfinding towers located throughout the center that break up the various treatment areas are flooded with bright light to create a pleasing atmosphere.

final thoughts Even when attempts are made to study and understand daylight in
architecture, its subjective nature makes it extremely problematic. Due to daylights ability to improve physical, psychological, and emotional well-being, there is a fundamental need to further research and establish guidelines for implementing the use of sunlight in architecture. The capabilities of daylighting design must be advanced and made universal in order to improve the human experience, both within healthcare situations and overall.

space planning
The projects shown here illustrate just a few of the multitude of space planning projects done for Microsoft. The addition of 50 new unisex restrooms campus wide was issued in 2017 to comply with WA state gender equality regulations. These were sometimes challenging to orient the new restrooms in existing spaces. A large portion of projects also included re purposing and adding new break out rooms and open office spaces to modernize workplace environments and facilitate better team collaboration.

Already an existing space created by the addition of an adjacent building, we were approached to create a functional courtyard space that could be used as a place to relax and get outside. The courtyard features concrete pavers and grass turf arranged in a playful pattern, with a graffiti art wall, black pebble border, and wood benches. Since the courtyard is on top of a parking garage, it has a raised access flooring system which still allows for water to pass through the pavers and out into drains located below. 60

Located near Alki Beach in Seattle, this 100,000 square foot storage facility seeks to transform an otherwise industrial area into a storage destination for nearby local residents. The facility incorporates a geo-piling system with parking on the ground level, and three floors of storage above. The building utilizes bright colors and ample amounts of glass to create a friendly and inviting environment for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s users. Due to the difficult site and location, this project went through SEPA, MUP, Lot Boundary Adjustment and a Street Vacation along with multiple rounds of Pre-Applications before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final approval. The long design process and city reviews made it a challenging but rewarding project, and it is expected to complete construction in 2020.

site context
The proposed development site for West Coast Self-Storage included combining two separate parcels of land, in addition to a portion of the vacated right of way into a single development. The project included additional amenities as well; widening and extending the Alki trail across the front of the site, public art panels, providing additional street trees, and additional landscaping.
The proposed 4 story building contains approximately 850 storage units. The unit sizes range from 5x5’ to 10x30’ and the average unit size is approximately 90 square feet.

program layout
The building is around 100,000 square feet, and contains 819 storage units. A total of four stories high, the ground level is primarily parking and houses the leasing office, whose two story storefront protrudes out from the building at an angle to add visual interest to the street facing facade. For storage facilities of this size, multiple iterations of storage unit sizes and layouts are examined to determine the overall expected profitability. For this client, an average unit size of 70 SF was the targeted number, with a 70% net efficiency.

03 lakeside christian church remodel and addition Location: kirkland wa 2016
Originally constructed in the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Lakeside Christian Church located near downtown Kirkland was in need of an extensive remodel to bring the church into the 21st century. The remodel for the church included enclosing an exterior courtyard, the addition of a new entry, and reworking internal spaces to better function for the needs of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occupants. The design included natural materials of glass, metal x-bracing, and wood stairs that give the church a upgraded look, but still adhere to its humble aesthetic roots. The church is located in a residential district, and as it had not been upgraded since the 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, setbacks were inside the building and essentially no exterior work was going to be allowed. To move forward, the project then had to undergo a variance to allow for the addition of an upgraded entry. The project is expected to complete construction in 2019.
68
program
The existing church entry was not only hidden and confusing to find, but was not ADA compliant. Part of the renovation included reworking the entry by adding an accessible ramp, and providing an entrance that was updated and open. Because of the updated zoning setbacks however, this variance had to be approved by the city before the design could be finalized. The main level also featured upgrades of new mens and womens retsrooms, reworking of office spaces, and a feature stair that connects the main and ground floor levels.
IMAGES
This picture depicts the hallway leading to the sanctuary. Currently it is narrow, and not an ideal space for users to congregate before services.
The current main entrance to the church is not ADA compliant, and is difficult to see from the street.
The proposed remodel for the church includes opening up to central entrance location to allow for more of a lobby as one enters the church, in addition to getting rid of the need for a long hallway. Along First Street, there would be frontage improvements, along with adding in an ADA ramp to access the proposed entrance. The proposed canopy would not extrude further than 5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;-0â&#x20AC;?

The unique layout of the existing church included most of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs being centered around an existing exterior courtyard. This however was an underutlilized space, and broke up the functions on the interior. The new design featured enclosing the courtyard, and providing feature stairs leading down into the space below from the new entry above. This provided a better use of space for the occupants, and allowed for a gathering place for people to congregate before and after services.

The atrium roof is a seperate structure, not connecting to the existing church for structural support. Instead steel cross bracing and 6â&#x20AC;? columns make up the support for the new roof.

04 selcted multi-family projects Location: seattle & tacoma, WA 2017
With the tremendous growth occurring in Seattle, the demand for affordable housing is evident. From low income housing to microstudio apartments in downtown districts, the works selected seek to depict a small piece of the many multi-family housing projects I have worked on. Habitat for humanity approached Magellan with the need for nine new 3 bedroom units in Seattle to be constructed on a sloped site. Although determined unfeasible by the city, the render to the left depicts the modern yet comfortable design approach. Also showcased is an apartment building with micro 450SF units located near downtown Tacoma. The intent is for these to provide an inexpensive housing option for students attending the University of Washington satellite campus located nearby. Cities are beginning to realize the urban housing crisis in this region, and providing incentives (such as reduced parking) to facilitate the development of otherwise under utilized lots.

living small Due to the small site footprint, access for parking only allowed through
the rear alley, and a zoning requirement of 15 foot setbacks to the North and South sides of the building for solar access, this apartment building was strategically shaped to maximize as much square footage as possible. The units themselves are around 450 square feet, and are accessed by an interior corridor. The units stack for two floors, with the third level having only 2 units and providing large storage lockers for the residents use. Although the units are compact, the layout is open and economical; perfect for those looking for affordable living near downtown Tacoma.

a dichotomy of eras: sketches of German architecture
In March of 2016, I was able to travel to Kรถln and Berlin, Germany as part of a study tour. Throughout the trip, I saw a reoccurring theme between the proximity and integration of past and present architecture. This could be seen from 800 year old cathedrals that were located next to 40 year old museums, to museums built upon Roman ruins. The way that past architecture is integrated into, around, or below present architecture is an incredible sight to behold.

blending of cultures
The Kolumba Museum, designed by Architect Peter Zumthor was built upon ancient Roman ruins. The museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention to detail was unlike any I had ever seen; and the contrast between the ancient materials of brick and limestone which made up the structural support for part of the museum, to the modern concrete exterior was a beautiful combination to behold. 80
Although this building is more modern, it still encompassed a blending of the old and new. Two glass atriums make up the interior, while a brick-clad facade `hides the offices within, and ties the building into the surrounding older environment. dz bank building
