SELECTED WORKS
BALLFIELD ROAD | HBX Studio
Saint George, Maine I 2,200 SF
Project Description: This single family residence is located in Mid-Coast Maine and included tearing down the existing home, leaving only the existing concrete foundation to build upon. The form directly responds to the site, beginning with the property lines and setbacks. My role was project lead, and I was invloved in this project from initial conception to early Construction Administration. I performed code research and coordinated our design intent with the AHJ in Saint George. I also developed the exterior forms and materiality for the home, assembled design decks, and presented the design to the client. I moved the project from early schematic 3D massing studies to finalizing the exterior design details. I was the point of contact for Structural coordination and was primarily responsible for completion of the Construction Documents.

D+H ADU | Dominek Architecture
Portland, Oregon I 688 SF
Project Description: The D+H ADU, located in the in the Kerns Neighborhood in NE Portland, is a ground-up accessory dwelling unit located where the old garage used to be. The main home is a 1912 Craftsman, and the ADU draws inspiration from the house, re-creating some of the original details, in a contemporary manner. The unit is a 1-bedroom, 1-1/2 bath, 2-story loft space, with large glass doors facing south to maximize daylight potential and accentuate the open plan. Some of the original framing members were salvaged from the garage and used on the exterior of the new ADU.
Role: initial concept, schematic design, design development, construction documents, permitting, construction administration
AMBER ROAD TREKKING CABINS
| Dominek Architecture Latvia (Unbuilt - Design Competition Project)
Project Description: The Amber Road Trekking Cabin competition called into question the periodic, historic challenge of the situated object: contextualizing an architectural artifact in the pastoral landscape. Along vast topographies of the Latvian Baltic coast, the project asked for a low impact, transient and inhabitable infrastructure in support of an anticipated hiking network transecting the various landscapes definitive of the region: pine forests, dunes, and white sand beaches.
Role: charrettes, exterior renderings, modeling, details, competition board layouts

CONCORDIA KITCHEN REMODEL
| Young Design Studio
Portland, Oregon I 210 SF
This kitchen remodel revitalizes a 1923 Craftsman-style home in NE Portland’s Concordia neighborhood. The project balanced historic restoration with modern functionality, addressing past renovations that had stripped away some of the home’s original character.
During demolition, we uncovered the home’s original, higher ceiling—a fortunate discovery that allowed us to enhance the sense of openness and verticality in the new design. The kitchen layout was thoughtfully reconfigured to improve workflow and usability, optimizing the arrangement of appliances and cabinetry.
Material selections and finishes were carefully chosen to complement the home’s historic roots while incorporating contemporary touches. Muted green cabinetry, warm wood tones, and handcrafted tile backsplashes create a harmonious blend of old and new. Open shelving and curated styling bring a light, inviting feel, making the space both functional and aesthetically refined.
The result is a kitchen that respects the home’s architectural heritage while offering a refreshed, modernized environment tailored for everyday living.
