about me

I am an emerging interior architect graduating from the University of Arkansas in Spring 2025. Passionate about creating functional and inspiring spaces, I blend thoughtful design with a deep appreciation for biophilic and minimalist aesthetics. My studies have taken me beyond the classroom, including a transformative study abroad experience in Summer 2023 that broadened my perspective on global design. In Summer 2024, I further honed my skills through an internship, gaining hands-on experience in real-world projects. I am eager to bring creativity, adaptability, and a fresh perspective to the field of interior architecture.

1 outdoor activities collection and library

A library of outdoor gear offers a range of equipment designed to enhance outdoor adventures, allowing individuals to explore nature without personal ownership. These libraries provide access to items like camping tents, backpacks, kayaks, and specialized gear. By enabling users to borrow items, they promote sustainability by reducing the demand for new gear and the environmental costs of manufacturing and waste. Beyond individual benefits, outdoor gear libraries help break down financial and logistical barriers, fostering a sense of community among outdoor enthusiasts. They support responsible consumption and reduce the overall environmental impact of outdoor recreation.

design process

the goal

New Opportunities

Borrowing resources provides access to tools, equipment, and experiences that individuals may not otherwise afford, fostering exploration and personal growth. By sharing resources, borrowing promotes sustainability, reduces environmental impact, and encourages a more minimalist lifestyle. Ultimately, borrowing expands opportunities, strengthens communities, and creates a more equitable and interconnected society.

Community

Borrowing fosters a culture of sharing and collaboration, where individuals come together to support one another’s needs. By borrowing items from neighbors or participating in community lending programs, people establish connections and build trust within their local communities. This sense of reciprocity and mutual aid strengthens social bonds, creating a supportive network where individuals feel valued and interconnected.

Concept Analysis - Growth

The design concept is inspired by the organic growth and adaptability of trees, emphasizing harmony with the environment through natural materials, modular structures, and sustainable practices. This approach fosters a connection with nature while promoting resilience and transformation in design.

The floor plan embraces modularity, with individual blocks representing functional areas that can expand over time. This flexible layout allows for scalability and adaptability, ensuring a cohesive and efficient flow as needs evolve.

Terracotta

- Clay-based ceramic that is typically unglazed and fired at a low temperature

- Comes from the Italian word “baked earth”

- Arkansas is known for its rich deposits of clay.

- Terracotta reflects the local culture and artistic traditions

- Durable material = When fired properly it becomes very hard and resistant to weathering and deterioration

An abstract terracotta-inspired wallcovering offers unique textures and patterns with a seamless, grout-free aesthetic. It also provides a cost-effective, low-maintenance alternative to traditional terracotta tile.

Fluted terracotta tile adds texture and warmth to an outdoor rental space, creating a timeless and inviting atmosphere. Its durability and weather resistance make it ideal for high-traffic areas, ensuring longevity with minimal maintenance.

Bamboo wood brings natural warmth and texture to an outdoor rental space, creating a sleek yet inviting atmosphere. Its durability and eco-friendly properties make it ideal for high-traffic areas, offering longevity with minimal maintenance.

Rebrew & Vino is a coffee and wine bar that blends antique charm with sustainability, celebrating reclaimed materials in both design and decor. Centered around a square floor plan, the layout balances openness and intimacy, with communal spaces, private nooks, and a reclaimed-material bar as the focal point. Large front windows enhance light and openness, while enclosed seating areas toward the back create a cozy contrast, fostering both interaction and relaxation.

springdale, ar history environmental concerns

Emma Street has long been a vital connector for neig hborhoods, commerce, and community life in Springdale. Named after Emma Dupree Deaver by the city’s first mayor, it has been the heart of downtown for over 130 years. Once a bustling hub for agriculture, business, and social gatherings, Emma served as a destination for both locals and rural visitors. As Springdale grew, new roads and commercial districts drew businesses away, leading to shifts in its role. While its function has evolved, Emma Street remains a reflection of the city’s history and ongoing transformation.

Mortar is not enviromentally friendly primarlly because it contains cement, which has a high carbon footprint. The production of cement involves the release of large amounts of carbon dioxide during the heating of limestone, additionally, the extraction of raw materials like sand and lime for mortar can deplete natural resources and cause enviromental degradation

The use of mortar can make it difficult to reuse a slab of stone because mortar binds the stone tightly to other materials, making it challenging to separate without damaging the stone. When removing stone from a structure, cause craking or require labor-intensive cleaning to salvage the stone for reuse. This reduces the likelihoodof recycling the stone in its orginal form.

COFFEE & WINE BAR

EXTERIOR PERSPECTIVE

Nestled in historic Springdale, AR, this coffee and wine bar blends warmth and charm with the town’s character. The preserved stone and wood exterior honors local heritage, while natural wood and stone accents inside create a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Thoughtful modern touches complement traditional materials, offering a peaceful retreat for guests. By maintaining its historic integrity, the bar seamlessly connects the past and present, making it a perfect spot to relax with a drink.

Terrazzo is a sustainable material because it can incorporate leftover stone, such as marble, granite, or quartz, that would otherwise go to waste. By recycling these stone scraps, terrazzo reduces the demand for new raw materials, lowering the environmental impact of its production. The process of using recycled stone also helps divert waste from landfills, contributing to a circular economy. Additionally, terrazzo’s durability ensures long-lasting surfaces, further reducing the need for frequent replacements and conserving resources.

3 sustainable roots design office

The architectural concept for this project is rooted in the idea of authenticity. Authenticity, in this context of design, is a guiding principle that seeks to create a space that is genuine, true to its context, and reflective of its purpose.

True authenticity stands the test of time. My design prioritizes the well-being and comfort of the people who will inhabit and interact with the space. By understanding and nurturing the relationships between users and the built environment, it will be a space that genuinely supports and enhances employees’ daily lives.
