Spring
I am a young professional and recent graduate of Clemson University’s M.Arch II program, having completed my B.A in Architecture at Clemson with a minor in geography. During this time, I spent two years studying in historic Charleston, SC where I participated in the designbuild studio gaining real-life experience on how architecture can provide opportunities for a community and enhance the quality of life. Over the past few years, I have been developing my knowledge of architectural practice and strengthening my technical skills through various design positions. With these professional experiences, I have gained a strong understanding of the importance of place and contextual design. I am self-motivated and willing to put in the work needed to create engaging and unconventional design responses to the challenging concerns of each project.
My interests include vernacular architecture and its correlation to the sense of place through the connection of the natural and cultural resources of a community, as well as sustainable design and the overall impact architecture has on a person’s health and wellbeing.
