INTRODUCTION Emerging as an architectural designer, my architecture education has established a strong foundation in community-focused design, architectural visualization, and detail-oriented technical development.

As a result, passionate interests and skills developed: • Building envelope systems that enhance thermal comfort and energy efficiency • Refined representation graphics to tell a story • Iterative design processes that drive contextually responsive solutions • Interdisciplinary collaboration, with a strong work ethic, clear communication skills, and a drive to serve both clients and communities The resulting projects entail learning to create atmospheric experiences through thoughtful spatial thresholds, expressive structural elements, and project inclined graphic representations that elevate both human connection and environmental performance.

01 MOUNT BAKER URBAN FARM CLT CANIBALISM STUDIO SUSAN JONES WINTER 2025 programs: Morpholio Trace | Revit | Rhino | Illustrator | Photoshop Welcome to Mount Baker’s Urban Farm, a community facility focused on stabilizing local food economies for Black/African American communities in Seattle that lack local food resources. Urban agriculture is useful tool for crucial impact through: [1] climate resilience with reduced rural-to-urban transportation emissions and, [2] health and equity by agricultural land use reducing urban heat islands.

Furthermore, this project proposes the cultivation of the Cassava plant; thereby increasing the economic value, well-being, and education of the community.

RESPONSIBILITY WITHIN GROUP PROJECT A.I.R. ORTI URBANI STUDIO ROB PENA, DANIEL STETLLER AUTUMN 2024 programs: Morpholio Trace | Revit | Rhino | Illustrator | Photoshop Once home to the Mira Lanza Soap Factory, this group’s Centro Marconi Polytechnic Campus turns a forgotten corner of the Marconi neighborhood into a cultural, educational, and communal core.

Supporting the existing theater culture and activity on the site, this section of Centro Marconi campus introduces a food hall, vendor spaces, classrooms, offices, and pocket gathering spaces.

03 HYRDROCATION TOWER INTEGRATION STUDIO III MYER HARRELL WINTER 2024 programs: Morpholio Trace | Revit | Rhino | Illustrator | Photoshop Focused on visual perception, arrival sequence, and the effect solar gain has on thermal comfort, this project combines Rainier Beach’s urban farms, ethnic food producers, and light industrial zones to become the city’s hub for ethnic food production and delivery; this is to transform Rainier Beach into a new model of equitable transit-oriented development, where the community gains access to employment, education, and entrepreneurship opportunities.

04 GRASSHOPPER TESSELLATION RESEARCH STUDIO DAVID BURPEE, GUNDULA PROKSCH ONGOING programs: Grasshopper | Rhino The proposed Engineered Living Material (ELM) is a dynamic, responsive dual-facade system tailored for urban cultivation centres. Its primary objective is to evaluate and further dynamically adapt in response to solar radiation and humidity levels to optimize internal environmental conditions. This is achieved through a bio-hybrid composite material that can grow, shrink, and deform in response to environmental stimuli.
