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 for 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.

ORIGIN I

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.

Meditation Garden

Peninsula of Lake Eola

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 II

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.

CRADLE III

Multi-family Housing

A place for makers and craftspeople

The apartments feature pockets of cradled outdoor space for pets and children to play safely. The pockets are surrounded by glass windows for adults to be able to keep a watchful eye while working on their crafts from their studios.

Cradling forms encourage playfulness for adults and children alike in order to foster creativity.

A public portion of the site invites the public who use the Riverwalk to engage in the market, gallery and green space. Sculptural egg-like cradles are scattered in the public park space to invite pedestrians to pause and investigate the playful landscape.

Here members of the community can show off their crafts and sell in an open market environment.

GROWTH IV

An multi-purpose tower focusing on embracing the existing conditions of life to appreciate the natural species of the Florida ecosystem. The tower stems from an existing oak on the site. The system branches and expands to key points of community wellness.

SOLAR GARDENS V

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.

Landscape Architecture

Landscaping details and renders are commonly made to show the projected growth of the buffer at various stages. All the plantings integrate native and pollinator friendly vegetative buffers and ground covers, and as a result solar farms often become a safe haven for pollinator species.

Graphics and Videos

The informational graphics and videos shown are used to help members of the local public to understand how the solar will function, look, sound, or effect traffic. Graphics like these are used for promotional material and informative community meetings. The first video is of the project Enon Road to the bike path with repair stations and informational lookouts to view the solar installment. The second video was created for Crawford Road Solar Farm to illustrate the anticipated traffic levels through the life of the project.

COMMUNITY VI

Community Center

Winter Park Village

Winter Park, Florida

This project aims to revitalize Winter Park’s central village into a walkable hub for arts and social connection.

The site features a sculpture garden, communal cafe, gallery and plenty of green space for locals to make their own.

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.

The model seeks to mimic the shape of molten glass being pulled and stretched into form. After passing through the cooling water it hardens into an airy light structure.
