• I am a 4th-year undergraduate student at Kennesaw State University developing my skills as a designer that produces works of value established by care-infused intentionality.

• Passionate about how design transforms the human experience, I recognize the need for a cohesive design methodology that embraces the individual details while contributing to a greater whole.

• Engaged in multiple leadership and research opportunities at KSU that have provided me with the ability to interact with both students and faculty both inside and outside of the architecture program.

• Dedicated to sharpening my communication abilities and strengthenin my logistical framework, whether in a design presentation, membership recruitment, or data visualization, in order to share my ideas and collaborate with others.

• Excited for new design challenges and the opportunity to learn within a firm setting.

Art Museum

Year Completed: Spring 2022

A platform for the underrepresented with artistic representation. Progression through the spaces occurs along an architectural promenade made cohesive via material expression and interior light wells, which allow for momenents of reflection and contemplation between gallery spaces.

context + concept

Located in the heart of Marietta, Georgia, this project activates its street front façade with a staggered geometry and angled entrance to facilitate interaction from those passing by along the sidewalk. The interior is composed of spatial qualities catered to experiential feelings for specific works of art, taking an active rather than neutral stance with the art being presented.

Extension of the building perimeter to engage those passing by along the sidewalk.

An orientation change produces a dynamic geometry for natural views into the interior.

Removal of the building footprint that passes the party wall of the surrounding context.

Facade variation that allows light to enter the gallery space and allows for boh functionality.

Form that engages the exterior while also producing an intriguing light-ﬁlled interior layout.

02 Theater

Year Completed: Fall 2022

With an atrium that rivals those of John Portman, this adaptive reuse project of Atlanta’s Medical Arts Building maintains the exterior shell while transforming the interior spatial qualities for gallery and theater program, creating a beacon for arts and entertainment in the downtown district.

research center

Year Completed: Fall 2024

A design that engages both the SCAD students and faculty as well as the Midtown Atlanta community by creating an internal experience that provides a stage for learning in the arts, which moves outwards with its blend of public and private spaces. The monumental walls act as a strong reference from entrance to exit as a way of differentiating interior spaces while gathering people into the communal spaces.

5_RESULT

Of formal gesture

The monumental walls oriented towards the pedestrian circulation act as a datum by which people move from public to private, moving between different spatial experiences that accentuate the activities within. This theme of complementary duality is continued with the use of a visually light steel frame divided by the strong concrete mass of the walls and core.
