Dallas landscape is very unique. The city is mostly flat and is largely prairie with treed areas along the waterways. Dallas is well known for its architecture and the city line. It is made up of many elevations giving the city a foreground, middle ground, and city line.

Timeline: Ten Week Project
Program: Revit, Enscape, Photoshop, Illustrator
This design studio addressed the issue of revitalizing a neglected, but historical intersection of Rome’s city walls and the Tiber River. The site was the ex-slaughterhouse of Rome, and we were tasked to transform one of its historic pavilions into a contemporary civic center housing a new versatile library where social integration is promoted. The concept of this design is to create an interactive, comfortable, and versatile library that creates a lasting impact. The site of the project is in Rome, Italy near the Tiber River which serves a purpose of trade and exchange in ancient times. Our intent of the design is to create zones that allow others to exchange knowledge and create lasting impacts within one another. In order to do this, an emphasis on the river will help guide the circulation within the space creating “stops” at each zone. Hierarchy through custom elements articulate the zones and repeated components provide a sense of unity within each other.

The Little Wonder Chair
This childrens chair is a multi-functional chair that can be used in three primary ways. When vertical, children can use this chair as a shortback or high-back and when horizontal, they can use it as a table or a hide-out space. The last feature allows for the children to have a tactile experience by being able to move beads up and down rigid metal tracks. Because this chair is extremely lightweight, it is primarily an independent experience for children to flip and move around with ease.

Blissful Beauty
Year: Fall 2023
Professor: Kendra Ordia
Timeline: Four Week Project
Program: Rhino, Photoshop, Illustrator
This nature center interiority was to create an immersive nature inspired interior installation at the storefront for Art and Architecture in New York city. This project was designed for a user experience within an environment that prioritizes sensory experiences using movement enabler. The project also allowed for new design strategies for collaborating with nature which consisted of Biophilic value, Spatial Strategies, Immersive strategies, and Narratives of the space. The sensory experience that was chosen came from a memory that I have had visiting multiple times which is Niagara Falls. This exhibition experience guides you along through the dark caves, the falls, and the gardens. This space allows you to escape from the fast pace of the city and enter a slower environment where you can sit and listen to the birds chirping, the butterflies flying around, and the water falling. The challenge of this project was the public versus private and exterior versus interior which made me think critically as to how the user would move throughout the space and be able to maintain the Niagara Falls environment while trying to escape the city.

Timeline: Seven Week Project
Program: Revit, Enscape, Photoshop, Illustrator
This project was tasked to create a retail environment and communal gathering space that collaborated the companies William Sonoma and No Kid Hungry together. The site is located in downtown Lincoln in the Terminal building on the first level. The multifunctional store had to be approximately 30% retail, 50% community, 15% flex space, and 5% storage. The concept of the space is to embody community engagement through a welcoming, modern, high-end space that has lasting memory on the people it serves. To create a memorable experience, the space was designed using the regulating grid provided by the columns, customized built-ins, and proportional spaces. We want the space to feel safe and trusting for anyone who enters. This space is meant to be a gathering place for all with no judgement and to feel a sense of community, one where we help one another.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Study Abroad: Rome, Italy
Year: Spring 2024
Program: Academics Initiative Abroad
While studying abroad in Italy I was able to capture perspectives both large and small, exploring how light, texture, and space transform the city’s historic monuments and unexpected locations. This unique juxtaposition of sunlight touching centuries-old stone, the interaction between architecture and art, and the life that fills Rome’s streets is the subject of my photography in Rome.
