About Me I recently graduated from Arizona State University in the Master of Interior Architecture program. I have a strong belief in the human centered approach and enjoy contributing in a public service capacity.

After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from ASU, I participated in a graduate program for cytogenetics and obtained national credentials by taking the Clinical Lab Specialist in Cytogenetics exam offered by the American Society for Clinical Pathology. I then worked as a Senior Cytogenetics Technologist in the oncology sector, specializing in blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Despite having an immense respect for the importance of this profession and appreciating the technicality of the field, I always felt there was one component missing in my occupation. I was not utilizing my creativity. From 2014-2016 I explored a creative field by acquiring a secondary job as a wedding planner in addition to my job in healthcare. This 2 year period taught me about collaboration with the client, visual staging, the planning process, and timeline management. Similarly, I accepted a secondary job as a Quality Analyst from 2016-2018. Finally in 2020, I decided to return to ASU to pursue a graduate degree in Interior Architecture. I maintained a cumulative GPA of 4.0 for the duration of my degree program while also working a full time job in healthcare. My attention to detail utilized in both QA auditing at Statistics and Data Corporation and abnormality detection in cytogenetics as well as my strong work ethic have served me well in the design profession.

In my years spent in Arizona, I have witnessed such rapid change and growth, not only in construction and development but also in the culture of design. I find it very exciting to see the design services market opening to different demographics and socioeconomic levels. With my background in healthcare, I feel strongly about holistic design that prioritizes the health and wellbeing of its occupants. I have a sincere fondness for the human-centered approach to design. Keeping the people you serve at the heart of the process in an effort to understand their needs and improve thier life, health, and wellbeing is everything I believe in. I strive to create timeless designs that have meaningful relationships with the location and context of the project.

Interior architecture is a balance of the art and science of design. I am a creative thinker with a natural gift for aesthetics and an affinity for the technical aspects of design. I consider myself a blend of both art and science and I enjoy applying this balance to the field of design.

CONCEPT: This project is based on the current drought in the American Southwest. It is based on the concept of scarcity and abundance of water, and the delicate nature of the system. Ecoshift is an organization dedicated to raising public awareness of water scarcity and climate change, and inspiring action towards more sustainable planetary practices and policies.

The environment is focused on both public engagement and education, as well as scientific collaboration and informed decision making. The project focus is to promote a shift in perspective and unification of efforts towards a more sustainable planet for generations to come.

The location of the project is in a highly walkable area, close to amenities, public transporation, the Phoenix International airport, and proximity to Arizona State University. ASU has several initiatives already addressing global climate change and planetary health and the project offers a site for collaboration between experts in the field.

The concept was inspired by a backpacking trip through a slot canyon in Utah that was a pivotal moment of clarity and shift of perspective for the designer. Right now is a pivotal moment for the US southwest regarding scarcity of water. We must take pause and inspire action for a more sustainable future.

A custom pattern and model was created to be the basis of the project. The pattern morphs from angular, geometric shapes to rounded, more fluid shapes and was given a wave like form to demonstrate the concept of scarcity and abundance of water. The delicate nature of the form is to express the fragility of our water system.

A mood board was created to express the intended feeling of the design for the public engagement areas. On the main floor of the five story building, there are three point of impact rooms to offer areas of reflection and pause.

An inspiration board was created to explore design strategies and materials. Inspiration was taken from the play of light and shadow, use of scale to diminish emphasis on self and give reverance for Mother Earth, and the fluid nature of glass and its capabilities of transmitting light.

COLOR PALETTE

The concept of scarcity and abundance was translated through the color palette of the project by considering the phenomena of the superbloom during times of abundance of water in the desert. Inspiration was taken from the local flora of the region to include agave cactus, Mexican poppies, lupine, hedgehog cactus flowers, and saguaro cactus flowers.

Custom graphics were created to be incorporated in the project, with each level of the building coinciding with a single native plant or flower.

The main floor offers three point of impact rooms (1 was developed), a retail space, an exhibition space, a cafe with outdoor seating, and an indoor play space. In addition to serving the needs of this project, the cafe offers an amenity to neighboring offices in the area. The play space offers community engagement and a climate controlled amenity during hot AZ summers. All walls are angular in plan.

THINKING TRACK Oftentimes, solutions come to a person when when they are not actively thinking about the problem. The idea behind the thinking track is to provide a space for visiting researchers to ponder alone while being active, or have a walking collaboration session on the indoor track.

Custom graphics are used to differentiate levels along the atrium walkways. Backlighting on the feature wall also mimics the graphic theme of each level. The large screen is used for education and public awareness of water scarcity.

The third level houses the double height mission control room, which serves as the main hub for collaboration and technology. The remainder of the programming on this level is workplace neighborhoods, all with a direct relationship to natural lighting. Each neighborhood has offices, huddle rooms, a simulation room, small conference rooms, and open collaboration areas with soft seating. There is a breakroom with kitchen, as well as private enclaves and a mothers room. Hanging in the atrium is a digital earth ball that reflects the work being done in mission control. Walls are getting more curved on these two levels.

MISSION CONTROL Mission control is a double height space with large screens that span the room as well as a large circular screen in the center.

The Earth ball in the atrium would have the capability to sync up with this circular digital screen so the public can see what is being worked on in real time.

The desks are arranged around this central screen with the outer rows at a higher chair and table height to aid in visibility. Mission control spans both third and fourth floor, the color of the hedgehog cactus bloom on the fourth floor was chosen for desk chair upholstery.

CONCEPT: Thrive Elementary is a fully integrated elementary school for both the neurotypical and the neurodiverse. The design is evidence based and offers additional support services such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy on site for students. This project is an adaptive reuse of the historic Hardware Building in downtown Phoenix which was originally a meeting hall for the Knights of Pythias fraternal organization.

The Knights of Pythias believe friendship is the essential ingredient in life and promote friendship and cooperation between people of goodwill.

The design embraces this idea of inclusivity for all and takes inspiration from the succulent plants resiliency and ability to thrive in difficult environments. This project embraces universal design and the idea that designing for vulnerable populations will benefit everyone.

Neurodiverse individuals have difficulty with social interactions and communication. They struggle to navigate their environments due to extraordinarily heightened senses. To design for the neurodiverse, simple layouts increase the intelligibility of the space and are fundamental in aiding autistic students need for routine and predictability. To introduce areas slowly and avoid abrupt sensory overload, transition spaces between rooms of differing levels of activity or function were provided. Other programming strategies are ADA compliant bathrooms in each classroom, recovery areas in each classroom for times of overstimulation, outdoor learning environments for each classroom to give a connection to the natural world and play space (playground) for all students. A kitchen classroom was also included to teach the neurodiverse life skills such as cooking.

Support spaces such as therapy rooms offer on site occupational,behavioral, speech, and physical therapy. The second floor also has an art room, a science lab, and a computer technology room. There is a smaller classroom (classroom 6) for students that need more intensive care in education. There is a central spine corridor on all levels for ease in wayfinding. The vertical circulation is on the east side of this spine for a simple building layout. The vertical circulation of elevator and stairs accesses all levels and is ADA compliant.

The original staircase in the lobby on the west side of the building remains as a secondary circulation path. The transition space from the circulation shaft to the loft is an open sided bridge that overlooks the 2nd floor lounge. The loft serves as a quiet recovery area and library. Two balconies were added to the north and south with covered pergolas for shade. A playground was added to the south side with separate zones of activity.

Acoustic control is the highest priority design strategy for the neurodiverse. Acoustic panels were added to typically high noise rooms such as the cafeteria, level one and two hallways, and the upstairs lounge. Since a perfect acoustically silent room is not usually available in a real life setting, the goal is to have a variety of spaces to help the neurodiverse build a tolerance yet still have some aids in the environment to help diminish noise when in difficult situations such as crowded spaces.

WAYFINDING

MAIN HALLWAY

Independent wayfinding is a challenge for the neurodiverse population due to the environment not meeting their spatial needs. The acoustic tile ceiling with blue linear element as well as the visual color cue of paint on the bottom half of the walls of the hallway was designed to facilitate indpendent movement for the ASD students. The recessed linear lighting reduces glare for the photosensitive and the acoustic panels mitigate noise in the environment. Photographs of nature offer a biophilic element.

CLASSROOM/OUTDOOR LEARNING/RECOVERY AREAS A more holistic approach is emerging with school design that incorporates supporting students’ social and emotional development. This project has 3 therapy spaces on the second floor to offer physical, occupational, and speech therapy as well as counseling on site for all students. Recovery areas in each classroom provide an area that maintains contact with the main learning environment but offers a quieter experience with a sensory wall. The divider is glass to maintain visual contact with the teacher for supervision. All restroom doors are painted green to facilitate wayfinding.

PLAYGROUND ACTIVE PLAY

PLAYGROUND QUIET PLAY

Neurodiverse children may need a more calm environment during play time outdoors. This quiet play zone has a garden that will encourage wildlife to visit and could be used to engage the children in learning a real life skill.

LOFT

The loft in this project is a flexible space meant for quiet meditation, reading, or recovery. It serves as the school library as well. This space is more serene than the classroom recovery rooms and gives the opportunity for groups to enjoy it together. There are a variety of modular seating options and soft beanbags. The windows on both the north and south walls give a connection to nature and offer prospect with a birdseye view of the north terrace and the south playground and greenspace below.

FIRST TECHNOLOGY COMPANY SITE LOCATION 750 W. GRAND AVE PHOENIX, AZ 85007

CONCEPT: The FIRST technology company specializes in smart products that improve energy performance and indoor environmental quality.

Sustainability is a focus in this project to coincide with this company’s values and products. The design is centered around the angular nature of the building and site. The project is an adaptive reuse of a former Chevrolet dealership and sits on Phoenix’s historic Grand Avenue. Grand Avenue was the FIRST major road into Phoenix area before the development of the I-10 freeway and is the only non cardinal directional road to this day. The design embraces the idea of being a leader in a non standard way and thinking “outside the box” for energy solutions.

The adaptive reuse building is angular in plan and elevation. The design concept is based on the angular nature of the building and the diagonal road where it is located.

AZ SANDSTONE CLADDING

Material choices for the exterior are copper and AZ sandstone to tie to the context and history of Arizona

The intended mood for the office was a collaborative space with areas of respite and restoration. This was achieved with biophilic elements such as green walls in community spaces and views to landscaped areas in private enclaves. An angled wall with a feature stair behind the reception area provides a dramatic entry. An elevated transparent conference room has connection to the open workspace and showcases the collaboration of the company. Material choices in this project were focused on natural elements, health and wellness, sustainability, and recycling as well as ties to the design concept of angularity.

RENDERED FLOORPLAN-1st floor

KINETEX TRI PLEX II, STRIKES

WHITE OAK PLANK FLOORING, DIAGONAL LAYOUT

TRAVERTINE TILE, DIAGONAL LAYOUT KINETEX PROVISION CARPET, FARE

Flooring choices on the main floor are white oak plank flooring and travertine tile, both installed with a diagonal layout. The carpet in the private enclaves as well as the team meeting spaces is Kinetex Tri Plex II in the color “strike” which has an angular pattern. Common areas and offices on the second floor are carpeted with Kinetex Provision in the color “fare”.

Both Kinetex brand carpets are made with 45% post consumer recycled content and surpass California’s low VOC emission requirements, minimize airborne particulates, have a high NRC and IIC acoustic ratings, have a Declare label, and are red list free.

The programming of the project follows the angularity of the exterior walls. The private offices on the second floor overlook the first floor cafe and exterior patio space. A variety of workspaces are offered such as open workstations, soft seating areas, small and large team spaces, and private enclaves. An inspiration zone is incorporated directly behind the reception area to serve as an exhibition and demonstration area for the smart products of the FIRST technology company.

COMBINED RENDERED FLOORPLAN

The ceiling in the private enclaves and the entire second floor are acoustic ceiling tiles with a paralellogram shape. An acoustic baffle grid is hung over the open double height workspace. The inspiration zone and the and single height portion of the work cafe has a perforated metal acoustic ceiling with integrated linear lighting. Suspended angular acoustic panels in colors of white, denim, and kiwi are hung over the double height portion of the work cafe.

KUZCO LIGHTING VEGA LED CHANDELIER

Suspended direct/indirect LED linear lighting is used in the double height workspac. Three angular LED chandeliers are used at the entrance/reception area. Integrated linear LED lighting is used in conjunction with the acoustic ceiling tiles in all offices, team spaces and private enclaves. Cylinder pendant lights are used over the double height work cafe and periphery of the double height workspace. Square tunable flush mount down lights are used in the ACT ceiling over single height circulation areas and restrooms.

Smart glazing controls the amount of light and heat entering the building from the outside environment through various levels of tinting. This glazing reduces heating and cooling energy use as well as provides comfort for employees by reducing glare.

Outdoor benches, patio tables, and bike racks from Anova are made from 95% recycled plastic content to help reduce environmental impact.

LED lighting throughout minimizes energy consumption as compared to halogen or fluorescent lighting.

A southern facing portico incorporates transparent photovoltaic glass from Onyx Solar.

This gives some shading to the southern windows at the entrance and generates clean energy from the sun in the most sun intensive location of the building based on sun path studies.

The project is adaptive reuse, however any new construction walls (exterior spaces) were built with rammed earth to decrease the carbon footprint of using virgin materials and also blend naturally with the environment.

Indigenous landscaping was incorporated that requires little to no watering and provides passive cooling and shading to the structure

Natural materials were used as much as possible in the design to provide a connection to the natural world and eliminate harmful VOC offgassing. This provides better indoor air quality for the users of the space.

Acoustic baffles were incorporated over the open workspace, the work cafe, and the innovation space to aid in acoustic comfort and stress reduction.

Biophilic design through the use of living walls and indoor plants in the interior aid in improvement of the indoor air quality, give a connection to the outdoors, a mood boost, reduction of stress.

Dynamic lighting with tunable white technology was used throughout to simulate circadian rhythms of occupants through changes in color of the light, intensity, and exposure time.

Private enclave spaces provide an alternative work area. These spaces offer a private, comfortable retreat space for recovery and rejuvination, benefitting mental health.

Paradigm workstations by UCI are sit/stand to promote mobility, offer flexibility of workspaces, and consider employee ergonomics.

CONCEPT: This adaptive reuse project is located in the historic warehouse district in downtown Phoenix, situated directly adjacent to railroad tracks. The existing building is the oldest remaining warehouse in Phoenix and is listed on the state and national registry of historic places. The design is based on the context and history of the warehouse district in relation to railroad transportation and its impact on the development of the city. The theater will “transport” the visitor to another time and place via the interior design of the building as well as the experience of the show. The name Ties Theater is in reference to both railroad ties and ties to the past. The bar name “Spikes” refers to railroad spikes and spiked drinks. The style is Art Deco to further immerse the visitors to times of the past.

PROGRAMMING PROCESS WORK

N A new service alley was created to the east of the project to allow for a loading dock at the back of house.

The stepped brick facade of the original structure was examined as a parti and reflected in the theater proscenium, exterior finish and heights of the new build addition. The RR tracks to the north and pocket park to the south framed the project which influenced the circulation of the interior. Visitors progress linearly from west to east as they move from the entrance to the lobby, to the community space, and into the theater. A pocket park was added as an outdoor area for Spikes bar and to serve as a community amenity. Both Spikes bar and the park are open to the public on non performance days for added revenue and additional greenspace for downtown Phoenix.
