LIVING IN PLACE SMART HOME The goal of the Smart Home project was to create a sustainable, yet affordable home to accommodate a demographic suffering from a current social challenge. I chose to design for a member of the elderly community and their caretaker, providing applications of human factors, smart technology, and inclusive design. The home was to meet LEED certification, as well as the needs of aging in place, providing a safe and efficient space. The outcome of this project taught me about the standards of sustainable design, the application and wide range of smart technology, as well as the needs of an elderly individual aging in their space.

CONCEPT In order to thrive in an aging in place environment, elderly must be given a home with immense safety features, green spaces, natural light, and space personalization.
90% of elderly want to stay and age in their homes as long as possible -AARP
Average assisted living facilities can range from Caregiver: makes use of the upstairs space, and provides for the elder with health services
Patient: makes use of accessibility and safety features, sees the home as their main source of comfort

NDEBELE PATTERN CAFE The goal of the Pattern Cafe project was to research and experiment with a cultural pattern, using its geometric and organic properties as a guide shaping spatial organization and multi functional seating. I was to use these cultural patterns to create a food kiosk, as well as semi-private partitions throughout the open, high-ceilinged Kansas City Union Station. I chose to research prominent artist Ester Mahlangu’s traditional Ndebele Pattern art. Originated from South Africa, the colorful patterns are painted by women on homes, telling stories of important values, prayers, and maternal traditions within the tribes. This project taught me the freedom and difficulty of designing in open spaces, the uses of multi-functional forms, as well as the intricate culture and traditions of Ndebele tribes.

PROCESS Ester Mahlangu and her traditional Ndebele pattern work inspired my collage, and from there helped to create a 3D sketch model for the divider units within the cafe. The final sketch shows the end result of the kiosk where visitors will order and pick up their food and drinks.

ENLIGHTENED SPACE OF THE BAHA’I FAITH The Enlightened Space project consisted of exploring abstract forms, shadows, and graphic representations to create a space for spiritual reflection. The inspiration came from a religion outside of my own, the Baha’i Faith, and the research from it to create a beautiful space with light as the primary design element. Baha’i Faith is a wonderful religion that boasts peace, inclusion, the golden rule, and the journey of the life cycle. The Enlightened Space project taught me about the wonderful Baha’i religion and its values, the manipulation of light and shadow using 3D form, as well as the rewarding result of bringing abstractions and symbolism to life.

PROCESS I wanted to create a space representative of Baha’i. I decided to experiment with origami patterns to create symbolism as well as shadows within the structure. The origami flows in patterns with ins and outs, symbolizing life lessons learned.

RETREAT PRIMARY CARE CLINIC For the entirety of the Fall 2020 semester, I created a full renovation of a medical clinic in downtown Chicago, by carving out walls in a building located near the bustling shopping hub, Michigan Avenue. The Primary Care Clinic serves as a general practice office, seeing patient by appointment only, requiring resources such as multiple waiting areas, exam rooms, consultation rooms, an employee lounge, etc. Upon designing the layout of the clinic, I chose to address the lack of privacy in healthcare. Through this, I designed ‘slices of privacy’ incorporating geometric separation screens, and personal exam rooms where the decisions are left up to the patients. I wanted users, patients, and medical professionals to feel at ease and think of the space as their own personal retreat. This project helped me experiment with site analysis, branding, furniture selection, and ideation. Along with this, making floor plans and rendering through Revit helped me learn so many valuable skills that helped me flourished in the online learning environment.

To address the common lack of privacy in healthcare settings, allowing patients to create their own comfortable environment based on seating choice, and sensory details like audio and visuals through the use of screens, lighting, and overall aesthetics.

Laurel Day visits the clinic once a month. She is accommodated with a clear circulation path, bright lighting, and soothing colors and patterns.
Sarah Johnson requires more privacy during her visit. She appreciates the areas of comfort such as the private consultation room and waiting space.

Dr. Paul Smith sees the value of a peaceful arrival at work and seeks comfort inside the employee lounge. He often works long hours, and finds this space to be a place of retreat.
Sam Wilson is an 8-year old visiting the clinic with his mother. Sam is autistic and finds loud noises overwhelming, so he is put in a high privacy exam room providing audio and visual privacy

THE ARCHIPOD It’s March 2020, and the pandemic has taken us out of school and work. Now living under quarantine, it only made sense for us to design a quarantine Archipod to accomodate KU students for Fall 2020. The Archipod was to be no more than 300 SF of living and working space fit for an architecture student at KU. The site is between Potter Lake and the KU landmark ‘The Companile.’ It was important to take into consideration privacy, lighting, and including an outdoor space for the resident. My final product consisted of a concept diagram, section, floor plan, topographic site model, and a interior/exterior rendering in Sketchup. This project was my first experience involving 3D rendering, topographic modeling, as well as floor planning to scale.

THE WALL SYSTEM Upon the start of the first semester in Fall 2019, we were focusing on motifs and abstract ideation. The project at hand was to create a free-standing wall through the construction of a pod, interlaced together to create a modular wall system. My wall was inspired by a series of abstract collages made from magazines and the corresponding sketch model. The collage I chose represented the word ‘Infinity.’ The final pod iteration came together supported by woven-in dowels, holding itself up using only its design, and no glue.

DIGITAL & FILM PHOTOGRAPHY My favorite hobby is taking photographs. I really enjoy the reward of capturing a moment and being able to relive it later on. I have mostly shot digital, but I recently began experimenting with 120 film.
