Hello! I am a Portland State University M.Arch graduate with a passion for designing, rendering, crafting, and researching assemblies, materials, and methods.

I have always been fascinated with the design process, and my passion for crafting various objects and furniture eventually led me to the built environment. In my conceptual work I enjoy balancing important functional elements of placemaking and space planning with detailed experiential, material, and tactile qualities. I feel 3D modeling and rendering is a great way to explore, iterate, and communicate a better understanding of how these qualities interact with surrounding context and facilitate actions of everyday life. I particularly enjoy integrating architecture with natural experiential elements, such as tracking the solar path throughout the seasons to analyze solar gain and shape direct sunlight throughout each space.

While I look forward to continuing my work and studies for my final ARE, I also enjoy exploring new hiking paths, woodworking, writing music, and spending time with family.
