I am a Master’s architecture student with a strong interest in the relationship between form and function. My work explores how design shapes experience and purpose, balancing conceptual thinking with practical performance. I enjoy research-driven design, drawing inspiration from historical architecture while also embracing innovative tools such as AI to expand creative possibilities. This portfolio presents a selection of my most defining projects to date, reflecting my evolving design approach.

Collective Terraces
This project proposes a mixed-use building in Fort Worth developed through a researchdriven and AI-assisted design process. Artificial intelligence tools were used to explore ecological design strategies, massing variations, and environmental performance scenarios. The project aims to achieve netzero energy performance through integrated passive design, renewable energy systems, and climate-responsive form-making. The work reflects an investigation into how emerging digital tools can support sustainable architectural thinking.

Traveler’s Cabin
This project explores the Kuskokwim River’s significance in supporting migration and travel, particularly during harsh winter conditions. The design emphasizes functionality and safety, creating a cabin that serves as a vital resource for winter travelers. The shelter is thoughtfully designed to offer warmth, comfort, and protection, reflecting the practical needs of its users and the unique challenges of the Alaskan environment.

Tidal Nexus
As the climate crisis intensifies, coastal cities such as New York City must evolve to protect their waterfront communities. This project utlizes Battery Park City as a case study to explore ways to not only protect the city from rising sea levels, but also support communities socially, economically, and environmentally. Blurring the boundary between land and sea. Tidal Nexus is a floating community network where climate resilience and civi vibrancy interlace.

The project develops from a network of spine-like structures that extend the city grid into the waterfront, transforming flood protection into inhabitable infrastructure. These spines act as barriers, circulation routes, and ecological frameworks, mediating between land and sea while enabling urban growth. Floating pods attach to the system to host housing and community programs, creating an adaptable network where movement, habitation, and resilience merge into a new model for coastal living.
