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.

Individual Project Fall 2023
Spring 2024
This project focuses on designing furniture for an archival space that encourages exploring various media—books, art, and more— 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.
