Growing up in downtown Denver during a period of economic growth, I was surrounded by a constantly changing skyline, which inspired me to change a skyline myself. My experiences as a youth development professional gave me the people skills to truly understand the needs and expectations of clients and how to turn their dreams and visions into designed reality. Over the past three years as a student in the Masters of Architecture program at the University of Kansas, I have been able to develop and refine my design kills, using my expertise in some design consultation jobs. I spend my free time appreciating music, painting watercolors, roller blading, and skiing whenever I can.

“Palais des Vues” Heritage Center 30-34 Rue du Marché-Finlay, Quebec City, Quebec
Architecture 609 Spring 2022 Professor Kapila Silva Designed in SketchUp | Rendered in Enscape In my final studio, I was tasked with designing a heritage center in the historic Quebec City, Canada. Located on the main port into the city, the Palais des Vues strives to be a tourist detination, that not only displays Quebec Cities unique and rich heritage, but also guides visitors towards other key destinations. The overall form is meant to accentuate the iconic chateau, utilizing an atrium space to preserve its sight line. Additionally the form draws from the adjacent battery wall, creating the illusion that the wall itself is enveloping the heritage center, while also mimicking some of the more colonial architectural motifs. The blend of historic and contemporary materials alludes to the celebration of Quebec Cities heritage, while looking towards its future.

Architecture 508 Fall 2020 Professor Eddy Tavio Designed in SketchUp | Rendered in Enscape
In a group project with my fellow architecture student Rachel Vitt, we designed an accelerator office building adjacent to the T-Mobile Center in downtown Kansas City. The space is an office building with rotating and regular tenants. Our goal was to provide T-Mobile with a home in Kansas City while capitalizing on its location in the city’s social hub and inspiring a network within the Kansas City community. This was my first project not located on the KU campus, which forced me to think about the role it would play in Kansas City. Considering the context of the building helped me create an intentional dialogue between the city and the office building.

“Turning Point” KU Visitor Center 1266 Oread Ave, Lawrence, KS 66045 Architecture 209 Spring 2020 Professor Marie-Alice L’Heureux Designed in SketchUp | Rendered in Lumion
“Turning Point” visitor center was designed to be the first stop for prospective and incoming students at the University of Kansas. I designed the askew second floor of the visitor center to represent the “turning points” all Jayhawks experience at college. Additionally, the building attaches to the existing Boots-Adams Alumni Center, providing a working relationship between the buildings and bridging the two discreetly. This project demanded a fuller understanding of the site than any other project had required before. Studying the context of the site in depth empowered me to make an iconic building that still draws from its surroundings.

“Soul” Table Arch 600: Furniture Design Fall 2021 Professor Thomas Huang Walnut and Sycamore
When approaching designing a table based off of the word “soul” I was reminded of an allegory I heard in summer camp: “we all build our soul like we build a fire in the woods, and eventually you have to take that flame out into the world”. I felt that I could reflect this idea in the overall form of the table itself, using the bright sycamore at the center symbolizing the “soul built in the forest” and the walnut arms protruding from the center representing the path we all take bringing our soul into the world. I didn’t take the easy approach in the construction of this table, the overall structure contains 28 total joints, featuring bridal, mortise and tenon, and lap joints. It was a time consuming and challenging project to say the least, but the satisfaction once I was finished is unmatched.
