Assisted in the renovation design process of residential properties using CAD software, Revit, and other architectural tools. Created detailed 3D models to support project planning and development. Collaborated with senior architect to analyze space optimization, and material selection. Gathered site data to inform design decisions in Revit.
Worked with the design and construction of a full-scale public bathroom model, completing the project in just three weeks, exceeding the original assignment requirements. The model was prominently displayed at Design North at Arizona State University (ASU) and later featured in an exhibition at Cosanti.

Confluence explores the motion of rowing and concepts of balance, rhythm, and pace through design and circulation within the boathouse and public restroom units. The project began with an exploration of wood and fabric, creating an architectural installation for a public bathroom. A curved sliding door on a track system was designed for improved accessibility, while fabric elements enhance ventilation and cooling. The next phase focused on applying these lessons to the park area near Tempe Town Marina, creating a space that supports lake recreation, particularly rowing, by providing a dedicated facility.
BATHROOM PROGRAM
Bathroom Section
Pictured above is the full scale public bathroom model installed at Cosanti. Starting this project, we explored the relationship between wood and fabric through the creation of an architectural installation for a public bathroom. A curved sliding door, mounted on a track system, was designed to enhance accessibility. Fabric elements contribute to a cooler interior by allowing for better airflow and ventilation.
PURPOSE : DOUBLE LAYERING THE FABRIC PROVIDES AN ADDED LAYER OF PRIVACY AND INSULATION
*PURPOSE: Double layer fabric adds a layer of privacy and insulation.
PROGRAM : BOATHOUSE CANOE / KAYAK STROAGE
*PROGRAM: Boat Storage
PURPOSE : VENTILATION AND AIR FLOW WILL BE INCREASED DUE TO A SINGLE LAYER OF FABRIC AND WIDER WOOD SPACING
*PURPOSE: ventilation and better air flow due to single fabric spacing
PROGRAM : KAYAK / CANOE RENTAL SPACE; 2ND FLOOR
RECREATIONAL SPACE; BATHROOM PODS
*PROGRAM: Recreational Space
PURPOSE : INCREASING THE DEPTH OF WOOD PROVIDES MORE SHADE TO AREAS OF HIGH ACTIVITY
*PURPOSE: More wood to provide shade to areas of high activity.

This project envisions a sustainable urban space that blends recreation, office, and food services in one location. The eco-conscious design features an exterior made of five repurposed shipping containers, highlighting a commitment to sustainability with a dynamic, multifunctional environment. The coffee shop features large glass curtain walls that offer views of the street and flood the space with light, creating an inviting work environment. The office is enclosed by two shipping container walls on the north and south, with glass openings added on the east and west to allow natural light and views. The open roof and east-facing side offer expansive views of the city and provide ample space for outdoor activities.

This project focuses on designing furniture for an archival space that encourages exploring various media to deepen our understanding of identity. The room and its furnishings are intended to create an immersive experience for recording and preserving new memories. The table was designed to explore the concept of an archive. The additional legs symbolize the connections formed within an archive during the process of discovery and organization. The seating is designed for comfort during extended periods, allowing users to sit upright or recline. The lower seat and angled backrest provide versatile support for both focused sitting and relaxed lounging. The lighting features curved metal sheets that reflect and diffuse the light source, enhancing the room’s ambiance. This design helps brighten the space on overcast days or at night.
A section drawing of the reading corner, featuring the chair, table, and lamp. The roof and left wall consist of glass windows and skylights, allowing indirect light to fill the space without disrupting the reading experience.
The model highlights the materials used in the room. The furniture, crafted from light wood, helps maintain brightness even in low light. The window and skylight features are also represented in the model.
