About Me I am a second year student studying at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture.

I love maximalism, just about any craft, and driving with my music basting. I am a quick learner, creatively driven, passionate, and I love a good challenge.

This portfolio is a culmination of my most outstanding academic works.

Cambridge Commons December 2022 | 2A Design Studio Rhino|Enscape|Photoshop|Illustrator

Cambridge Commons is an intimate infill project in the heart of downtown Cambridge. Designed as a transition home for struggling women, children, and young families, it focuses on the experience of moving through the shifting common spaces within the building, each with varying degrees of privacy, flexibility, and programs. These spaces, inspired by “Khrushchyovkas” (also known as “Commie Blocs”) which are built around generous courtyards with numerous programmed and public amenities, aim to offer the tenant the opportunity to connect to their community, both within the apartment’s walls and beyond.

Located on Dickson Street, the building neighbors the Young Women’s Christian Association headquarters.

This nonprofit organization provides accommodation for women and children, as well as daycare services, youth engagement initiatives, public events, and more.

River St Sanctuary April 2022 | 1B Design Studio Rhino|Enscape|Photoshop|Illustrator

Located in the heart of the Toronto Corktown area, wedged between King St, Queen St, and River St sits a proposed active community hub. Designed to provide people with a peaceful work and study environment, as well as a split bike store and repair shop on the ground and basement floor which can facilitate learning the trade of repair for willing hobbyists.

As it is located on a road island with an intersecting pathway, the building folds around itself to accommodate heavy foot and bicycle traffic. The integrated outdoor seating and height of the structure establishes the River Street Sanctuary’s courtyard as a rest stop, shielded from the commotion of the busy streets and city life surrounding it.

Foliage Walks January 2022 | 1B Design Studio Rhino|Enscape|Photoshop|Illustrator

Nestled at the base of Sherman Falls in Hamilton, Ontario sits Foliage Walks, a playful bridge on the iconic Bruce Trail.

Its biomorphic design allows pedestrians to feel as though they are exploring nature at a much smaller scale, while also providing a sense of drama as the pedestrian explores the space.

Divided into a main path and a lookout area, the bridge obscures the full view of the falls until the last possible moment, making the reveal climactic and breathtaking.

Willis Point Oasis Made in collaboration with Matthew Beecroft April 2022 | 1B Environmental Building Design Rhino|Enscape|Photoshop|Illustrator The Willis Point Oasis is a tiny house designed with sustainability in mind. Using locally sourced ecological materials, the home features programs tailored to the needs of two scientists participating in botanical studies. Located in a rural community on Willis Point in the Saanich Inlet, and backed by three protected forests the Oasis sits nestled in the hillside and faces the ocean waters. The building’s embodied carbon and ecological footprint is reduced by using green and reused materials (re-purposed steel, downed wood, reclaimed brick, and hemvrete).

With its proximity to the natural environment, the Willis Point Oasis is conducive to a peaceful working and living environment and is beneficial to both the mental and physical well-being of its residents.
