MY PHILOSOPHY I look at architecture as a foundation of organizing and elevating the primary units of true design. Architecture provides structure for manipulating space, time, light, composition, and function to transcend across all creative forms. Presenting architecture through mutliple outlets and various forms, I am interested in creating spaces where these representations blur and converge with other industries. Thought is first described, and then, translated into a physically molded purpose. Ruled only by imagination, architecture can make the impossible real. Whether animation, construction, set design, fashion, or photography... this is where architecture comes to life. I could create a flying architecture that never leaves the ground, as long as, I have a good enough story for it!

TRANSPARENCIES TIBURON, CA
Collaboration with BRIYANA RAINER 2018 AIA California, ARCHITECTURE AT ZERO student WINNER Transparency is a design for the Architecture at Zero competition. The prompt given was to create a net-zero research center that could be used to educate the public about the local aquatic life. The site of the project was the Romberg Tiburon Center Campus in Tiburon, California. The current center has a small handful of buildings scattered throughout the site. Despite its size, it has a strong connection with the community by hosting many events responsible for entertaining several thousand visitors and guests.. When first analyzing the site, it was decided that the best strategy was to take advantage of the mild weather and continuous sunlight. From this analysis, it was decided to create a form of transparency within the project; a blurred line between the interior and exterior. With the use of curtain wall systems and skylights, a design was cultivated taking advantage of not only daylighting, but the magnificent views of the bay, thus allowing the occupants to feel a connection to the exterior evnironment. The necessity to create connections to the outdoors was also very important because this unique site is characterized by elevation and terrain changes that are accentuated within the site plan. The building layout celebrates existing and proposed relationships on site.

02 BASECAMP Knoxville, Tn Basecamp is a project located next to Meads Quarry in the Ijams Nature Center. It is situated in a clearing with either the forest or the quarry flanking all sides. The main concept for the design is movement. Including not only the movement within the building itself, but the site, as well. Hiking and biking trails are scattered throughout the site giving it an already existing movement. The trails were incorporated in the design where possible, guiding guests along or through the building, melding site and structure. On the interior of the building the circulation allows guests to experience the movement through varying heights and views. Materiality was carefully selected to accompany this idea of movement. Most of the building is board form concrete. The varying depths gives the facade a living feeling. The remainder of the building is wood. Concrete is a representation of something solid and stabilized. This was used in the design by stopping and redirecting the circulation. Conversely, the wood communicates a much lighter and movable feel. This is represented in the design through wooden screens and large garage like doors that allow one to pass through instead of redirecting.

THE GOOD NEIGHBOR Knoxville, TN Collaboration with Joe platt A connection is a moment when one or more individual items work well together to create a new entity. The main interest in the design was the ecosystems. This project used multiple design strategies to bring together the three surrounding ecosystems; the wetlands, fields, and the forest. The large garage-like windows frame the views just outside the outpost, beautifully displaying the various ecosystems through the gallery space inside. The central point of the connection is located within the outpost, giving the occupants the ability to clearly view all three ecosystems while inside. Focus was placed on the surrounding nature by considering the materiality of the design. The metal structure, which elevates the building off the ground, gives the outpost a light feeling as if it is among nature instead of disrupting it. Contrasting dark and light woods are also incorporated, allowing the building to meld into the surrounding trees letting it cohabitate among them. A boardwalk was included in the design allowing travelers easier access from trails. Travelers will be able to experience the various ecosystems individually, leading up to the outpost where they gather together in harmony.

04 VOGUE
An exploration into the relationships between text, image, and design. Emphasizing on the continuum between technology and culture. Using Vogue’s 125th anniversary edition, a narrative was made by collaging various lines from within the magazine. The narrative fostered a cultural theme that extended through the entire project. The narrative was then transformed into a line drawing representation. Using keywords from the text, technical drawings were combined to bring dimension to the narrative. Keeping the cultural theme, a digital collage was then created. Using imagery to wrap together what was being conveyed in the previous iterations.
Suppressed Allure [685] Wake up to eyes. [32] Bare skin. [55] Spicy. She’s spicy. [120] A kiss that’s caught, yet shielded from view. [312] His nerves were gone; she had cured them. [284] Magic or power? [131] A rare moment of misty-eyed nostalgia, [232] sailing along Ocean Parkway as if they were headed for Coney Island. [284] A cigarette cocked between two fingers at the wheel. [294] A humming tension perceptible even through his billowing overcoat, [288] but even that she couldn’t articulate . [288] Backstage show moments. [72] She’s neurotic. [120] His hand finding her cheek invisibly as a whip. [284] Eyes wide and watering in the sun. [284] He seemed to await something to react to or be amused by. [288] Our feelings correspond with the weather. [133] Patchwork, jeans, and homespun quilting. [250] Omnipotent in the (almost) altogether. [308] A palace of golden bricks three stories high, [284] marvelously uncomplicated and calm. [308] A castle by the sea disappearing under a fog of forgetfulness. [294] A flame of ache that felt unexpectedly pleasant. [288] [sf]

THE STREETWALKER : A FOSTER NEGATION You run, like the letters on these pages. I’m not sick but still so far away from sane. Nightmares, but I haven’t slept in ages. The battles won, but there’s still poison in our veins.
RAGE We’ve lost control, anything but gently down the stream. Hold me close, hold me tell me life is but a 00B
dream.
DESOLATION Save me, I think I’m losing my mind. You said you’d come for me when the world swallows me whole. Well, this is war. Save me, ‘cause the battles won but the war is still to fight. You said you’d come for me when the world swallows me whole. Well, this is war. Well, this is war.
NEGOTIATION You breathe like your lungs aren’t full of matches. Every careful word you speak has a chance of sparking fire. I hope I can sleep straight through the madness. But I can’t even tell when I’m sleeping anymore. We’ve 00C
lost control, anything but gently down the stream. Hold me close, hold me tell me life is but a dream. Save me, I think I’m losing my mind. You said you’d come for me when the world swallows me whole. Well, this is war. Save me, ‘cause the battles won but the war is still to fight. You said you’d come for me when the world swallows me whole. Well, this is war.
SUFFERANCE Let the darkness come for me, let it try to steal my soul. As if I had a soul to steal. Hold me tell me life is but a dream. Save me, I think I’m losing my mind. -Former Vandal War 00D
