Over the past 6 years, I have been a student in the College of Art and Architecture at the University of Idaho. There, I learned to discover and develop approaches to design, both theoretically and for real-world applications. I have acquired a strong sense of graphic communication through the analog methods of:
drafting, sketching, painting, and watercolouring as well as through digital media, such as:
AutoCad, Sketch-Up, 3ds-Max, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and a bit of Revit.

Physical modeling at different stages of design has been instrumental in understanding of space and material relationships. Through many team exercises, I have developed strong communicative and collaborative skills that I look forward to carrying with me to the professional practice of archichitecture.

The primary goal of my graduate terminal project was to explore how an urban site can facilitate a truly inclusive mixeduse development which embraces a public realm that is the core of activity. With over 250,000 sq ft of program, the list of uses includes a performing arts space,a billiards hall and sky bar, a fine dining restaurant, a business incubator for upstarting companies, a fresh market for employees and the public alike, a multilevel book/ media store, an events
coordination center, and 70 dwelling units that range from studio -3 bed apartments to achieve a diverse range of living styles. The project would incorporate crosslaminated timber mid-rises to promote a growing practice of sustainable building techniques.

COOMBA COMMUNITY CENTER Spring 2011 Meridian, Idaho
This project was a competition sponsored by the Idaho Concrete Masonry Association to create a Community Center. The project was a joint venture between Boise and Meridian, offering a place of learning and recreation. The main features are the South-facing Kid City, Teen Center, Quiet Space, Learning Kitchen, Greenhouse, a Performing Arts Area that opens to a couryard and Artists’ Pond, and the Rebound Classroom. The Administration Office has a clear line of vision to the activities of the Community Center. To the South of the building are a Kids’ Courtyard, play structures, and the Community Vegetable Gardens. The site also features ballfields and green space, as well as a storage shed for outdoor play equipment. My entry tied for second place and got a Frank Jacobus Award for being the “Most Poetic Use of CMU, Wood, and Steel.”

CHEAP HOTEL Spring 2011 Fictional Site
This studio project elaborated on a piece of a futuristic novel which involved a mob underworld, technology, gambling, vice, unnaturally long life, and a run-down hotel. Through a series of experiential drawings and models, we were to create a physical manifestation of the literature. The novel mentioned a ten-story brick building that had become a hollow shell. For our purposes, it was to include a pachinko parlor, shops, a massage parlor, “coffin-style� hotel rooms, and a sky bar. I saw it as a playground for addiction and escape, run by a less-than-legal entity.

SHIP 60 ON THE BOWERY Summer 2012 Manhattan, New York
Ship 60 on the Bowery pushes the limits of spatial requirements for livability. While New York City is currently looking at 300 sq. ft. “micro apartments,” our studio project slashed that down to 70 sq. ft. per unit in an investigation of what a young individual needs to live in the city that never sleeps. Units include a small bathroom/shower, a fold-down bed, a movable desk surface that slides up on a track, limited storage space, and a balcony. Kitchen uses became shared by floor as spacesaving and community-building measures. An existing use on the site, the Great Jones Cafe, was included in the project and given a new location as a corner feature. Because of the narrow 25’x100’ site, means of egress code dominated the direction of floor plan development. Stacking of similar units and mechanical systems also aided in furthering the affordability of this project in a location where property is at a premium.

GRADUATE STUDENT HOUSING, + SUSTAINABLE LEARNING COMMUNITY Fall 2012 Moscow, Idaho
with teammates Jordan Lowe and Matt Friesz
The University of Idaho needs new Graduate Student Housing. Inspired from our field trip to Lopez Island, WA, we looked to implement a strategy encompassing many aspects of a student’s life in order to build a desirable community based on sustainability, hands-on education of building materials and systems, life-skills, and stewardship. The Masterplan we developed addresses issues such as site drainage and community activity in ways the current housing is failing. The cross-disciplinary academic program that would be implemented would help the structures age in a much more cared-for way than the current housing.

GROUP HOUSING UNITS midway through design
Scales of community were addressed in the project, with ideally 30--50 people living in each pod, laundry facilities shared by 2 pods, and all housing sharing the Sustainable Learning Community Centre to the North of the site. Site drainage and water reuse was solved by a bioswale that follows the lowest point in the site contours down to a retention pond, which is also utilized by the site’s educational Living Machine.
