About Me Passionate for the arts, environment and combination of the two; I seek to better the natural and built world. My work is often inspired by nature and in turn I am very invested in sustainability.

I was born and raised in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. I attended UCF where I placed first among architecture applicants. I served as an officer for the American Institute of Architecture Students while minoring in Urban Planning.

I am currently employed with ESA Solar as an Architectural Design Specialist. I brought an artistic approach to the designs at ESA by implementing graphics and artistic sections and renders to help with local presentations to the public.

I love to travel the world to get inspired. My hobbies include painting, baking and costume design. I am constantly seeking new experiences and feedback to better myself.

I PROJECT

Meditation Garden Peninsula of Lake Eola Orlando, Florida

This project is one of three health and wellness inserts into the urban fabric of downtown Orlando. It acts as the origin on the pathway to bettering one’s self. Following the experiences at this location in Orlando’s central park of Lake Eola, the occupant is led through the city to other sites to inspire a healthy lifestyle.

ORIGIN

The Seed A hollowed form, insulated from the bustling city. From the outside the form appears as a orthogonal and unassuming structure with a tall crack for entry.

Inside is a garden in a soft form. Light enters through the cracks as if the seed could germinate through its shell bursting into the world with new beginnings.

Contemplation The occupant is drawn out to beyond the edge of the peninsula and into a space of self-reflection.

Here one can passively view the city of Orlando, perhaps enticed to a fresh start and follow the breadcrumbs of health and wellness put forth by the other sites in the overall project.

ACHIEVEMENT

Activity Center Alley-South Orlando, Florida

This is another of three health and wellness inserts into the urban fabric of downtown Orlando. This site is located in a narrow alleyway, and encourages passing joggers to run through. It offers a sense of fitness achievement with a rockwall that pierces through the three floors as an option to climb instead of take the stairs.

GARDENS

Shared Solar Farms Several Towns in Virginia Several shared solar or community solar projects done professionally with ESA Solar. Shared solar allows local low income residents to use a portion of the farm and lower their electric bill as an alternative to roof mounted solar.

These visuals are created to present to the community and village board for permitting. It seeks to answer questions about sound, setbacks and view-shed.

Sculpted Pathways Circulation is drawn through sculptural pathways as seen here cutting through the central water feature of the community center.

The occupant is lowered to eye level with the water. They are invited to a moment of reflection as the water crests over the interior walls and allowing the cafe to play with the refractions of the water.
