PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

As a rising professional my goal is to become a licensed architect and interior designer who practices interior architecture in an urban landscape challenging the social constructs within the built environment. My interest in the field consists of residential, commercial, cultural, and hospitality design. Passionate about the psychology and sociology of design, my hope for my career is to create spaces that positively impact those who experience them.

CHEWY HQ

01

Project Status: Completed

As the new home of Chewy headquarters this massive space encompasses both the creative and technical needs of the company in this playful corporate office space design. Acting as a mini campus this two building two level space holds open and private office spaces, multiple studio spaces, both human and pet green rooms, set storage, maker spaces, employee kitchen and lounge spaces, a coffee bar, a game room, an outdoor patio, a dog run, and more. As a designer on this project I worked through multiple phases, including design development, construction documentation, and construction administration. Completing various task but not limited to, producing and maintaining drawings, selecting materials and finishes, producing and facilitating client presentations, coordinating with consultants, and collaborating with the graphics team to produce experiential graphics that support the company’s principals and brand.

MAYFAIR

Project Status: Completed

Through the balance of organic, locally inspired materials and crisp, highcontrast urban details this project combines the best parts of city and suburban living, Mayfair Apartments boast a plethora of amenities existing throughout the building. Some of the interior amenities include a twolevel fitness area, yoga room, game lounge, pet spa and more. To appeal to residents who work-from-home, the street front business center and lounge has a multitude of workstations, from cozy booths to full-scale private meeting rooms. As a designer on the project, I helped push the project through the design development and construction document phases.

ORNUA

Project Status: Under Construction

This small office renovation seeks to welcome both existing and new employees back to the office with a fresh workspace that speaks to both the qualities of office spaces post pandemic and the company’s core values. Through new furniture solutions, sound proofing, and the addition of collaborative and private spaces, this project aims to create a workspace that supports diverse, healthy, and creative working styles. As the project architect I was tasked with developing all phases of the project, coordinating with consultants, collaborating with the clients branding team to reimagine and maintain office brand standards, and helping create a space that makes the clients vision come to

AREAS OF IMPACT

CAPELLA PARK

Project Status: Under Construction

This multifamily residential community in Dallas, Texas seeks to provide the area with a modern take on farmhouse living. As phase one of a two-part construction project, these townhomes are the ideal space for both families and singles. A few of the features this project provides are, 3 bedrooms inclusive of a primary suite and ensuite, spacious kitchen and living room areas, a second level balcony, front porch, in unit laundry, and two car garage. As a designer on this project, I was tasked with supporting through the architectural schematic design phase and the interior design development phase.

ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSIONS

Architectural Expressions: The Language of Public Space is a visual dictionary defining a taxonomy of elements aimed at public interpretation, involvement, and interaction. This project focuses on the impact and development of the public realm to create and activate public spaces that foster inclusivity and interactivity building a sense of belonging and community. To create more inclusive public space, we must first understand the relationship between design and human experience to decipher the language of current public spaces. Architectural Expressions: The Language of Public Space deconstructs, reimagines, and reconstructs the physical elements of architecture creating new public space typologies that encourage nuance in the urban fabric and tackle inclusivity through form, access, and transparency.

CHUTES AND LADDERS (ACCESS) NOLLI (TRANSPARENCY)

There is freedom in flexible form. A freedom that fosters fellowship. A freedom that creates familiarity. A freedom void of social conformity. There is freedom in form. Form that is vivacious. Form that is fluid. Form that is extant. Form that is indiscriminate. Form that is universal. Form that is friendly. There is a form of freedom.

I miss the buildings I’ve never been, the places I cannot reach, and the souls I do not meet. The experiences I cannot have, the views I cannot see, and the city ever so sweet seemingly created for the elite. Existing on the edge, pushed into the street. My isolated city a place full of many. You are obsolete.

Was this your vision? Is this your dream? A monotonous city in which we seem, to move through blind isolated from other being. I’m not surprised that you cannot imagine how life should be, because we cannot be what we cannot see. Shaped by forces that are external from me, ones that I cannot see. Searching for the soul of our city, longing for the playful fluttering of activity. Puppeteered is our identity. So, who are we?

COLLAGE WORK

Architectural representation and communication skills are a vital part of architecture, and the method of storytelling is a valued part of my design process. Here are a series of collages encompassing the heart of various design ideas I have created over the years.
