I enjoy the entire design process from the problem solving, to the renders, and delivery.
Currently, I am looking to step into design full-time and gain experience.
I am skilled in a couple of different rendering software including Lumion, V-Ray, Unreal Engine and Enscape.

Outdoor furniture is used to decorate and encourage people to spend time in the park.
Trellis
Traditionally, a trellis provides a structure for plants to grow vertically. In this particular setting, they are used to hang ivy and provide sufficient night-time lighting
Foliage
This project was designed during my integrated design studio where I chose to focus on a response to the San Francisco housing crisis. The purpose of this final studio was to synthesis all of the skills taught in the undergraduate program. I took this as an opportunity to add to my technical skillset, and produce one of my first Revit projects. The renders were created using Enscape.

The Riverside Community co-living
In 1871, the Great Fire decimated Chicago , but before long, Riverside picked up momentum again with community resident and notable architect William LeBaron Jenney stepping in to complete the town plan , and other notable architects of the day such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan designing homes
Sankofa is a principle derived from the Akan people of Ghana that one should remember the past to make positive progress in the future . Its translation is “going back to fetch what was taken” or “go back and get it.”
While providing the space for new American family narratives to take place, the Riverside Community Project takes into account the landscape and aims to create a space that protects its residents from floods while also promoting gathering at large capacities.
This project challenges the idea of the American suburb and pushes for the amendment of domestic labor within the family. The site plan consists of 3 different terraces for 3 different living experiences ...

Raze Terrace
“The creation of a speculative world begins with speculative form. We are obligated to eschew the restrictions of the physical world as it relates to these creations, if only as an exercise to the possibilities it might allow. Therefore we will kick off the project as form making, with an attempt to ignore scale and gravity.”

afrocentric architectecture and global public housing. While many Americans are still chasing the independent “american dream,” many other peoples have long utilized the benefit of co-living for economic gain.
Afrocentric Architecture
The Afrocentric Architecture Movement is a movement to showcase and refine what “black” architecture is. An important goal in this movement is reconnecting the African diaspora to share and appreciate our cultural aspects or africanisms.
Afrofuturism is defined as having the goal of amplifying the spiritual connection to the earth and universe, calling into existence the experience of life from an african centered worldview.

The Yard
This project serves the purpose of examining the architectural translation of an object as it moves through different scalar shifts.
This photoshop rendering tests the capacity of objects or systems to adopt different sizes while maintaining legibility and gaining performative qualities of materiality.
