I’m a recent Bachelor of Landscape Architecture graduate from the University of Washington with a passion for integrated design and the holistic approach to placemaking.

From small scale furniture design, to larger scale landscapes, I strive to push ideas that enhance narratives of places and people.

When I’m not designing, I can most likely be found either on a trail somewhere in the mountains, or within the heart of the city trying to capture unique scenes of the urban landscape with my camera.

ARKO CHAISE D U R AT I O N : 1 0 W E E K S TYPE: IDIVIDUAL

Ta k i n g i n s p i r a t i o n f r o m t h e o r g a n i c f o r m s o f the natural landscape, the Arko was designed to be a unique lounge chair that explored what furniture in public space can be like. Featuring multiple seating arrangements and a playful yet comfortable bouncy experience, the Arko’s design has the potential to be a public furniture piece that can activate the urban fabric.

The purpose of our project is to essentially create a space that would meet the local community’s need of a gathering space with elements that would enhance its ability to serve as an outdoor kitchen/ classroom and community garden/gathering area year-round. The space would also be intended for unique community events like their annual summer music festival. Guided by the idea of continuous flow of people and stories in and out of the island, the site’s form features gestures that direct energy into the space while also allowing it to dissipate out.

APPROACH & INTEGRATED TACTICS Ta c t i c a l R e g e n e r a t i o n a s k s t h e q u e s t i o n : W h a t c a n b e done now? How can we build off of existing community efforts to prepare the neighborhood for the future highway removal and co-creation of a just circular economy? How can this work serve as a series of test plots for what can be possible on a larger scale later?

PHOTOGRAPHY

The act of street photography has become almost therapeutic for me. Being able to capture unique moments that will never come a g a i n : t h e c o n d i t i o n s o f t h e d a y, t h e c l o u d s that come and go, the people that cross the street, carrying with them unique stories and even untold trauma. It’s these hidden narratives that make the urban life so unique and what gives street photography so much c h a r a c t e r. I n L a n d s c a p e A r c h i t e c t u r e , y o u learn to observe the world in new angles and w i t h p h o t o g r a p h y, t h i s a b i l t i y i s e n h a n c e d .
