01 | The Urban Reef
Inspired by the structure and function of a barrier reef, this project creates a new civic hub in Savannah for the Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary Ocean Discovery Center, office space, and a public food hall. Barrier reefs act as connectors within marine ecosystems, supporting diverse life while protecting the shoreline. Similarly, the architecture serves as a framework that brings together education, work, and community gathering. By drawing people together around shared experiences, learning, dining, and exploration, the building becomes a catalyst for placemaking, creating an active destination that strengthens Savannah’s relationship to its coastal environment.

This project proposes moving the current location of Grey’s Ocean Discovery Center to a hub of pedestrian traffic in central downtown Savannah. Within the development of the block, there will also be retail and office spaces, as well as a food hall on the west end of the site to serve the adjacent residential area.

STRUCTURE The structure is a repeating concrete grid that establishes a consistent rhythm across the building. This modular system organizes the openings, giving the facade a measured, ordered cadence, while also providing the framework for the patios, which are carved out or extended from the grid’s bays.
FACADE DESIGN The facade was designed as an icon at the end of Broughton Street, a landmark that terminates the view down the corridor and draws people toward the building. Its organic form is inspired by the coral reefs explored at the Gray’s Reef discovery center, translating the layered, irregular character of a reef into architecture.
SITE CONTEXT The site sits at the meeting point of several very different conditions: a low-income neighborhood, a tourist-oriented street, a busy road, and nearby apartment buildings. Rather than treating these as competing edges, the project uses them as its starting point. The building is designed to bridge these groups, bringing residents, visitors, commuters, and workers into a shared space.

GRAY’S REEF OCEAN DISCOVERY CENTER Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary is an ocean park teeming with life. The natural live-bottom habitats of the sanctuary are representitive of others across the region. The sanctuary provides year-round opportunities for sport fishing, recreational diving, and boating. The research area within the sanctuary hosts one of the only designated no-take zones in the region, which makes Gray’s Reef a catalyst for scientific research studying water quality, ocean noise, hurricane prediction, and climate change.
DISCOVERY CENTER Visitors can enter through main entrance that looks down Broughton St. There are three floors to explore as well as a sky bridge that connects it to the food market.
FOOD MARKET CIRCULATION residents of the adjacent neighborhood as well as tourists from Broughton St. can enter through all sides as the bottom floor is open for vendors.
OFFICE CIRCULATION office tenants space is located on the third and forth floor on the corner and users are able to enter through ground floor entrance off Orange St.

02 | Sunburnt Urbanism
Sunburnt Urbanism is a project that takes the vernacular of the American strip mall/highway duo and reimagines it through modular infrastructure that caters the space more toward the human experience rather than the automobile. Rather than treating shade and shelter as an afterthought, the project embeds them into the architectural language of the strip mall itself, transforming parking lots and roadside frontage into spaces that invite gathering. It also acts as a barrier to UV rays that cause rising temperatures in cities and discomfort in the lived experience, offering a passive cooling strategy. In doing so, Sunburnt Urbanism proposes a model for retrofitting one of America’s least humancentered typologies into infrastructure that is both climate-responsive and inhabitable.

Urban Design + Climate Adaptation
THERMAL INEQUALITY & THE URBAN STRIP The suburban infrastructure model, seen in the outskirts of any American city, aims to prioritize vehicles, privatized consumption, and heat-producing surfaces over the comfort of the human experience; this model is successful in its goal which was never to be walkable or aid the enjoyment of life on a human scale. These asphalt valleys, between monuments to the corporatization of the American food market and large lots which sit mostly vacant, came out of the rise of the interstate highway system which meant to reduce travel times and connect people throughout the country. This shift in federal investment from public-transport initiatives to highway development reinforced the country’s dependence on independent vehicular travel while simultaneously being used as a tactic, by the local municipalities deciding on the placement of these highways, to demolish the neighborhoods of minority and low-income communities. This disrupted the pedestrian landscape, worsened air quality, and greatly diminished the property value of homes. Many of these roads are characterized by their lack of thoughtfully designed landscaping; including a complete absence of a tree canopy and islands of fast-food chains and big-box stores isolated from pedestrians by large asphalt parking moats. This unfettered vehicular domination of the suburban landscape gives rise to heavy traffic flows and wasted car emissions which, along with the absence of vegetation to abate some of this pollution, multiplies across the country causing larger additions to the climate crisis and an overall decline in mental and physical health. This paradigm is abundantly apparent in Skidaway Road in Savannah, Georgia. Having been created in the wake of the Interstate highway system, the Harry S. Truman Parkway divides the low-income community from the city; cutting it off from easy access to the inhabitants’ jobs and creating a visual divide between economic classes. On either side of the highway the message is clear; the upper class get access to trees, parks, and shopping strips with limited on-street parking and lower income get no trees, no parks, and a plethora of fast-food chains and LED lights illuminating the vast parking lots that neighbor their backyards. The approach of this project is to expose and overturn the environmental injustice embedded into the public infrastructure which leads to increased climate change and a decrease in the area’s residents overall quality of life. In generations beginning to reflect on the broader societal and economic shifts, environmental concerns with carbon emissions and a growing preference for a healthy lifestyle, many people are looking for their communities to begin to enact these changes. Creating a replicatable solution involving municipal reforms as well as a physical solution to the landscape to improve the lives of these communities is vital for the creation of equitable cities.

03 | Furniture Design
I explore furniture as a site of material experimentation, spanning metalworking, woodworking, and computer-rendered design. Each piece is approached as an opportunity to test the relationship between structure, craft, and form, whether through the precision of welded steel joints, the tactility of hand-worked wood, or the exploratory freedom of digital modeling. Working across these mediums allows for a dialogue between hands-on fabrication and computational design, where physical constraints inform digital experimentation and rendered concepts push the boundaries of what can be built by hand. Together, these works reflect an ongoing interest in how furniture can bridge functional utility with expressive material honesty, treating the scale of the object as a proving ground for ideas that extend into architecture.

Who doesn’t want to catch M&M’s via a mechanical launcher? This project combines both wood and metal processes including traditional machining techniques, welding, and the metal lathe to create a system which both dispenses and lauches an M&M into the air. It is based on a crank and lever design that pushes the bottom wooden bar down as the user turns the knob to create the propulsion.

Painting serves as a space for slower, more intuitive exploration, worked primarily in oil paint and graphite. The work leans toward figuration and is highly constrained and almost illustrative at times. Oil paint offers a language of accumulation and revision, allowing form to emerge gradually through layered color and value, while graphite provides a more immediate, linear counterpoint suited to study and observation. Across both mediums, the goal is less about faithful depiction and more about capturing presence, gesture, and the quiet tension between control and looseness. These paintings and drawings function as a parallel practice to the architectural and design work elsewhere in this portfolio, grounded in the same attention to form but freed from the demands of function.
