2017 - 2020
BURDETT & ASSOCIATES ARCHITECTURE INC. Raleigh, NC
Conducted field verifications on job site visits during different stages of design including schematic, programming, design development and construction administration. Directed conversions with client and design team. Developed project proposals, appendix b’s, demolition notes, partion legends, punch lists, door schedules, as builts, equipment schedules, electrical layout plan. Worked in AutoCAD and Rhinoceros 5 to develop 3D building models, building elevations, site plans, floor plans/dimensions, reflected ceiling plans, wall sections, demolition plans and mill-work documentation.
2019 May - July
LITTLE DIVERSIFIED ARCHITECTURAL CONSULTING Charlotte, NC
Regularly participated in team meetings, brainstorming sessions and site visits with design teams. Maintained active communication with client of their goals, budget and schedule.

MOUNT HOPE COLUMBARIUM
Mount Hope Cemetery is historically known as the second oldest African American Cemetery in Raleigh, NC. Mount Hope was established in 1872 and was reserved for the city’s African American population. Tragically, in 1930, a fire occurred in a municipal building downtown, destroying the records and location of 7,000+ graves leaving a large section of history unmarked and unknown for commemoration on the site. The cemetery appears vacant due to the sparcity of headstones, though the cemetery is nearly full with only 7 years of open space remaining. This project’s goal is to submerge its architecture within the landscape of history, commorating the unseen 7,000+ graves by residing beside and within, rather than atop of. It utilizes spatial developments that respond to the multiples emotives of mourning, offering spaces for large family gatherings, a cmmorated community of the dead and spaces of independent introspection and spirituality.

PRECAST DESIGN STUDIOS
This project is located on North Carolina State University’s centennial campus and serves as additional studio spaces for architecture students. The building is located in tangent to the base architectural building clusters of Kamphoefner, Brooks and Leazer Hall. The aim of the project is to be a space inviting of all design students to observe, learn and create. This studio also explores precast concrete as a base material and is a joint studio with engineering students. The project offers spaces for small group gatherings, a library, atrium pin-up spaces, and work areas. All of these spaces are encompassed by a shell of precast concrete panels whose opening gradate offering tailored lighting based on the programatic pieces beyond it.

RALEIGH CRAFT CENTER
The Raleigh Craft Center aims to be a place for all craftsmen to explore, create, and share within the further Raleigh community. Located in the city’s downtown area, the concept consists of intermingled boxes of programmatic spaces, some of which appear dense and some which appear fluid in order to maintain adequate physical and visual fluidity. The shell of the project is opaque, yet transparent to a degree allowing a passer to see the boxes appearing to float amongst each other from the street. This space creates a sense of interconnection in the arts by developing intimate relationships where all phases of design are recognized.

TRIAD
triad (a): a group or set of three connected people or things. This project is located along Savannah, Georgia’s historically famous River Street and is focused on creating a building that rejuvenates the city while also offering new experiences for its people. Food venues are common hot-spots along the street and notoriously bring people together. This project aims to ďŹ t within the existing culture and genius loci, meaning spirit of a place, while also enhancing the interaction of food harvesting, preparation, learning and showcasing as opportunities to create an even deeper culture within the practice itself. The project shards overlap one another to further advocate for this architectural and cultural overlap of creation, learning, selling and artistic showcasing of food in the city.

CONTROLLED DAMAGE “Don’t ďŹ ght the break!â€?
This project explores break-away architecture that controls damage through pres-designed sacriďŹ cial spaces that accept the natural processes of the environment. By designing in tangent with natures natural forces, rather than against them, the process offers cleaner, safer and more manageable ways to rebuild. The project’s goal is to create a streamlined and affordable solution, so as to provide for a larger area with the intent of reducing rebuild costs. Controlled damage designs with regards to different levels of severity which allows the break to be cleaner, further damage to be reduced, and a cleaner pathway for regenerative architecture to be inplemented along the coast. To learn more about the project, visit the link below provided by the Coastal Studies Institute of the Outer Banks for an article highlighting my project proposal. https://www.coastalstudiesinstitute.org/nc-state-students-challenge-traditional-architecture-ideas-with-storm-resilient-designs/

RESTORATIVE DESIGN
This independent study project explores the growing interest of restorative justice design and investigates how architecture can play a role in this process by space making. The project regards sociological principles as base necessities for beginning to explore the topic, while also acknowledging a further system of partnerships within the surrounding community in order to achieve optimal resourcing and impact. The goal of this project is to take a deep dive into the principles of what it means to be restored and healed and explore how architecture can begin to foster these processes of healing and growth through space.

INTERLACE
twist 1(a): to unite by winding (b): to make by twisting strands together (c): to mingle by interlacing The objective of this project was to experiment with atypical materials and methods of building in order to develop unique spatial conditions utilizing the verb twist. Through extensive experimentation of the material’s quality, strength, constraints and abilities, a language of assembly was developed. With this developed system of construction, modules gained the ability to interlace within one another, enabling them to be larger in scale and more spatially dynamic. Varying quantities and sizes of the material as well as the inclusion of secondary verbage, such as wrap, weave and bend, helped in further development of the module. The modules rely on one another to maintain structural stability and individual distinctive rhythm of cavities which challange the normative of spatial creation.

INDEPENDENT WORK
The following is a collection of a few selected projects I’ve produced throughout the years as personal interests of mine arose. I love working with my hands and absolutely love detailed work. I’m always looking forward to exploring different mediums and get great joy out of broadening my interests as a designer even further.
