Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, I am currently a fourth year architecture student at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I have experience designing in Revit, Rhino, AutoCAD, and Adobe software programs. My Midwestern background has instilled in me a strong work ethic and years of experience in customer relations. My goal is to obtain experience in all aspects of architecture and in designing a variety of different structures.

In order to allow occupants to fully embrace spirituality through space, we have created and manipulated forms to be specific to each of the programs that are connected with nature by having a covered walkway between each of them. Different room heights and sizes allow spaces, like the sanctuary, to feel more intimate, while others to be for large gatherings. The roof curves in all directions, not only to allow for sunlight and sunshade, but to allow the occupant to go between each of the spaces.
Softwares Used: Revit, Rhino, Lumion, Adobe: Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator

The Northern Liberties Multi-Media library is designed to reflect the rich history of the surrounding neighborhood while providing an open and inviting space for visitors. The ground level of the facade is designed to blend into the surrounding environment while the upper two levels are designed to allow in the warm glow of morning and afternoon sunlight.
Softwares Used: Rhino, Enscape, AutoCAD, and Adobe: Indesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator

The Living Garden Wall was designed to grow plants in an urban environment. The wall’s design allows a variety of plants to be grown that require different exposures of light. The wall utilizes a recirculating drip irrigation system.
Softwares Used: Rhino, Grasshopper, Twin Motion, and Adobe: Indesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator

Preliminary Sketches
Pansies:
Love well-drained and fertile soil, direct morning sun, and afternoon shade. They grow well in spring and fall.
Strawberries:
Take well to vertical growing conditions and enjoy direct sunlight and rich, well draining soil
Steps of the Grasshopper Script
Whole Grasshopper Script
The Garden Wall was designed using the Grasshopper script to create the form of the structure as well as the rotating plates.
The Suvela Chapel is a recreation of the chapel utilizing the Revit software. The design also includes a life safety plan, room occupancy, and fire rated wall and floor systems.

T & G lumber installed perpendicular to the joists thick wood structural panels, min grade "Underlayment" or "Single-Floor". Face grain of plywood or strength axis of panel to be perpendicular to joists with joints staggered.
2. Structural Wood Members* Min 9-1/2 in. deep "I" shaped wood joists spaced at a max of 19.2 in. OC. Joists shall conform to ICC-ES ESR-1153 Report. Joist top and bottom chords minimum 1-3/8 in. deep by 2.3 in. wide and constructed of either Microllam laminated veneer lumber (LVL) or TimberStrand laminated strand lumber (LSL). Webs constructed of minimum 3/8 in. thick Performance Plus OSB, PS2, Exposure 1. Installation shall be in accordance with manufacturers published literature. Spacing may be increased to 24 in. OC when Batts and Blankets* (Item 3B) is used.
3. Insulation —Glass fiber insulation, secured to the subflooring with staples, or to the wood joists with 0.090 in. diam galv steel wires, or draped over the resilient channel/gypsum panel (or Steel Framing Members/gypsum panel) ceiling membrane. Any thickness of glass fiber insulation bearing the UL Classification Marking as to Surface Burning Characteristics and/or Fire Resistance.
4. Resilient Channels Formed from 25 MSG galv steel installed perpendicular to the joists. When no insulation is installed in the concealed space the resilient channels are spaced 24 in. OC. When insulation (Item 3) is installed to the underside of the subfloor the resilient channels are spaced . 16 in. OC When insulation (Items 3, 3A or 3B) is applied over the resilient channel/gypsum panel ceiling membrane, the resilient channels are spaced 12 in. OC.. Two courses of resilient channel positioned 6 in. OC at gypsum panel butt-joints (3 in. from each end of wallboard). Channels oriented opposite at gypsum panel butt-joints. Channel splices overlapped 4 in. beneath wood trusses. Channels secured to each truss with 1-1/4 in. long Type S screws.
