PROJECT OVERVIEW Commons Connect is a community youth hub designed for ages 10–17, bringing mentorship, academic support, life-skills programming, recreation, creativity, and wellbeing resources together under one roof. The program balances active social spaces with quieter areas for studying, counselling, and mentorship. Open communal zones encourage connection, while dedicated learning and support spaces provide opportunities for focus, privacy, and individual growth.

Early concept studies explored how movement could organize space and create intuitive connections between programs. Through sketching, diagramming, and physical model making, ideas of flow, layering, and moments of contrast emerged. These explorations became the foundation for the project's spatial organization, guiding the development of the final plan.

NOURISHMENT THROUGH DESIGN

LOCATION TORONTO, ON AREA 8,500 SQ. FT. TYPE PEDIATRIC HEALTHCARE YEAR 2025

PROJECT OVERVIEW Bloom Clinic is a pediatric healthcare environment inspired by the wonder and adventure of hot air balloons. The concept reimagines the often intimidating experience of visiting a clinic as something more comforting, positive, and engaging for young patients.

HOT AIR BALLOON

Exam Room 206 216

Ideas of movement, elevation, and exploration are translated through curved forms, soft colour, playful wayfinding, and ceiling features inspired by the shapes and movement of balloons. Together, these elements create a calming yet imaginative environment while supporting the functional needs of patients, caregivers, and healthcare staff.

SOCIAL GROUPINGS Inspired by the idea of neighbourhood, the dining space is organized into intimate social groupings. Early studies exploring how people naturally gather and interact informed the development of the curved forms throughout the space. These forms evolved into layered partitions and clustered seating, creating semi-private dining zones that balance social connection with a sense of privacy.

SOCIAL DINING | INTIMATE GROUPINGS SHAPED BY CONNECTION + PRIVACY

FROM THE CREATOR This portfolio is a collection of projects that reflect how I approach design — with curiosity, intention, and a focus on the people who experience it. Throughout my work, I’m drawn to the relationship between space, behaviour, and experience, and how thoughtful design decisions can shape the way people feel and interact within an environment. As I begin my career in interior design, I’m excited to continue learning, collaborating, and contributing to spaces that are both purposeful and engaging.
