As Intermediate Designer at TOLO Architecture, I managed the SD phase for this single family home in Pasadena. The client was a young couple with plans to have two children and wanted a comfortable home to raise their future family together and have enough room for entertainment and the husband’s car collection. My role was to co-lead client meetings, interpret the needs of the client into successive design models, and work closely with the principals to develop the spatial solutions to their needs. All drawings and renderings shown here were produced by myself for TOLO.

My job at Open Office was Architectural Designer II, working with my project manager to put together DD and CD sets to submit to the city planning office, later being responsible for picking up their comments for Disabled Access, Green, and Fire. These projects with SoLA came out of their initiative to build 100% affordable, modular-built affordable housing in Opportunity Zones around LA.

This project will include 140 new homes on the City-owned parking lot between North and South Venice Blvd, and Pacific and Dell Avenues. The challenge facing this project was adapting the EOMA design method to a highly quantitative design brief that had a minimum number of units that had to meet a high standard.
I was responsible for putting together Entitlement Set drawings, renderings, diagrams for public comment sessions, and implementing design changes to fit community input.

As junior designer, I helped develop look and feel packages for an interior renovation of a historic building on Broadway in NYC. I was responsible for model fabrication, plan diagrams, material boards, and the design development of various furniture design elements that would be define libraries, breakout spaces, cafe areas, and meeting spots. I was responsible for compiling all the work into “Look and Feel” packages to present to the client on regular intervals to demonstrate progress.

KDA was asked to put together a proposal to design a new tower planned to be built above an existing building on Madison Square Park. I was asked to assist drawing test fits to see how much program can be fit within the square footage of the property while maintaining the logic of traffic flow in regards to the vertical circulation. Additionally, the dining floor on the vertical stack had to be accessible by all elevator banks so no employee had to transfer in order to get to it.

Both models were produced for separate competition project proposals in China. The first was for a Chinese comunications company headquarters in Shenzhen. The competition asked for urban design proposals for an “urban village,” here combined into a compound scheme of two solitary towers unified by a single plinth. The shop was tasked with the fabrication of a 3’ x 1’ presentation model, made up of 3D printed chunks (floor slabs and structural skeleton) mounted on two aluminum cores, and skinned with chromed acrylic, heat-formed to fit the gestural facades. The second, a business district called Unicorn Island, was built much the same way, but with more of a focus on the production of a proof-ofconcept for the office’s compositional planning technique of Combinatory Urbanism.

Produced for Dean Monica Ponce de Leon’s graduate studio at Princeton. The prompt was to design a duplex for two families in the working class neighborhood of Witherspoon in Princeton, NJ. This scheme accomodates 2 large families who share a communal kitchen and dining space. Through their respective doorways that lead to the kitchen, they each have a more private dining and living space, above which their bedrooms are situated.

Produced for Anda French’s graduate studio at Princeton. The prompt was to design an ADU for the backyard of a single family home in Princeton, NJ. Linear House is a private wall house on its south face and a glass house on its north face, providing both privacy and natural views. It’s elevated off the ground with ground screws which delicately minimize the disruption of the natural overgrown backyard of the client, allowing the new ADU to exist both in the brush and in the grass yard simultaneously.
