I am a designer skilled in idea generation, problem- solving, space development, and concept visualization. My passion lies in creating experiences that evoke emotions and convey meaning, aiming to balance beauty and practicality in improved spaces. I believe design is not just for profit but also for fulfilling societal responsibilities. I plan to grow by exploring, testing, and expanding my knowledge in design.

After consulting with LifeNet4Families, a non-profit organization supporting homeless individuals and families in need, I designed a new structure that integrates with the existing landscape while meeting several key objectives. The design includes open areas for waiting and socializing, incorporates greenery to create a natureinspired environment, dedicates portions of the site to a park that also serves as a flood-zone prevention area, and features two main circulation passages to guide visitors efficiently. It also addresses the needs of families and homeless individuals, providing spaces that ensure both support and privacy.

This master plan focuses on creating a sustainable, community-oriented design that blends industrial aesthetics with eco-friendly features. Residences with modular layouts and rooftop gardens provide practical and nature-accessible living spaces. Communal hubs repurpose old industrial structures, integrating vertical gardens and solar panels to encourage social interaction and sustainability. The pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly streetscape features walkways and bike lanes adorned with recycled steel sculptures and urban art installations, promoting eco-conscious transportation. By combining industrial-inspired design with sustainable innovation, the project aims to foster an engaging, responsible urban environment that prioritizes community and environmental harmony.

This project transforms an industrial zone into a secure yet open mixed-use community, blending safety, sustainability, and vibrant green spaces. Located near a train station and the I-95 highway, it reimagines unused industrial land as a park-scape for residents and visitors. Key features include the adaptive reuse of a sign manufacturing building into a restaurant, vertical greenery with wall planters, and residential corridors designed for sunlight and ventilation. My role involved site analysis, landscape development, and crafting a design that balances urban challenges with community-focused solutions.

An approach to spatial/usage research that combines architectural analysis with color interaction to unearth the hidden characteristics and functions embedded within existing spaces. By employing a systematic exploration of color, this concept aims to redefine spaces based on the revealed patterns of use and time-induced adaptations through the demonstration of Virtual Reality(VR)
