About Me References
As an architecture student at the University of Kansas, I was originally drawn to the field by my passion for art, design, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Growing up, I was inspired by my dad who worked as a general contractor, and I loved visiting his construction sites to see both the design and building processes in action. Currently, I am particularly interested in Hospitality and Urban Design, though I am open to exploring various opportunities in the field. I look forward to the future and am excited to contribute innovative and thoughtful designs to the built environment!

Being located in rural Kenya, this project required sustainable and energy efficient ways of thinking due to the lack of western technology. Connected to a preexisting birthing clinic and on a wellsloped site, there were many challenges in creating useful and convenient access points for entrances. However, the challenge taught me so much about site design, topography, and overall healthcare design.
Some of the design choices I made were also focused around Kenyan culture, such as the colors I chose for my materials. In Kenya, many of their buildings are brightly colored, and though I chose white stucco and stone as the main siding for my building, the bright red terra cotta tile roof and green window frames bring in those bright colors more subtly and also serve as important symbols of healing in Kenyan culture since red symbolizes bravery and green symbolizes good health. These are also two important colors on the Kenyan flag, once again tying back to the culture.

This project was a redesign of the current bridge lab that connects Marvin and Chalmers Hall at the University of Kansas looking towards the new addition of the KUbe building for the School of Architecture and Design. My goal for this project was to maintain the culture of the current school and create a space primarily for architecture and design students to enjoy at the school, since the KUbe will be open to all of the public.
In doing so, I designed many cozy spaces for students to sit, a 24-hour self serve coffee and snack bar, and outdoor patios for students to enjoy the outdoors. My main design also focused on ideas of flow, shade, and connectivity to create a calming environment. Overall, this project taught me a lot about floor plans, accessibility, and especially interior design since it was more of a renovation project rather than new build.

The goal of this project was to create a basketball pavilion structure that could be placed on the front lawn of Allen Fieldhouse, the most sacred place on KU’s campus. I decided that rather than just creating a pavilion, I wanted to create an environment. By extending the existing terraced seating of the DeBruce Center, I strived to maximize community gathering and added places where students, faculty, etc. could enjoy the outdoors while eating lunch, doing work, or playing a game of basketball.
In addition to the terraced seating, the structure that surrounds the court uses a tensile fabric that could be projected onto. This gives the space another purpose by allowing basketball watch parties to be hosted for away games or people who couldn’t get into Allen Fieldhouse for big games. Overall, this project taught me a lot about steel structure and healped me to develop my Sketchup and rendering skills using Enscape.

Chapel of Life
Lawrence, Kansas
This nondenominational chapel would be placed on a site to the South of Pioneer Cemetary on KU’s West Campus. This cemetary has various professors and people who held important roles in Lawrence, so ensuring that this chapel could be welcoming to all different types of people was very important in the design choices. I wanted to create an inviting space that was enclosed but as one enters the ceremonial space it opens up.
During this project, we focused on using Mass Timber as our material which taught me a lot about different structural elements. Also in designing a chapel, ideas of natural light and bright spaces using environmental factors was another beneficial part of the design.

Personal Artwork
One of the main reasons I decided to go into architecture was my love for art and design growing up. I love the idea of creating something from scratch and coming up with new ideas from nothing.
I think that through my passion for drawing, it has taught me so much about shadow, perspective, proportion, color theory, and balance, all things that are necessary to know as an architect. Though I have not had as much free time recently to draw for my own pleasure, it is still one of my biggest joys.
