My education and experience have proven
that I am a self-managing and a high-performing
problem solver with a passion for design quality,
complexity and detail. During the 7 years in urban
planning and the 3 1/2 years in the Master of
Interior Architecture Program, I processed and
produced several projects, ranging from residential
/commercial adaptive reuses, to large mixed-use
projects under a rigorous and fast paced schedule.
These included working
directly with clients,
consultants, govern-
ment officials, and
other professionals.
As a committed
team player, responsibilities
were to make sure my team was on track and met
milestones with a collaborative group dynamic. My
experiences include a broad range of design
and management software including AutoCAD,
SketchUp/SU Podium, Revit, Adobe Creative Suite
and Microsoft Office. As you will see from my
resume and portfolio, I have built my career from a
variety of industries and roles; I am continuously
adapting to different environments; where I take on
multiple responsibilities. I am thrilled by the possibili-
ties of being part of a team devoted to designs
shaping the human experience.

SPACE ANALYSIS
A contemporary modern style with its
geometric forms, smooth surfaces, &
the use of material will provide a natu-
ral sense of place. The client requests
for open spaces for large group meet-
ings and to allow more natural light in.
The use of natural materials and earth
tone colors will provide harmonious sp-
aces and variation. The expansion of
windows & the addition of skylights will
allow additional natural light and the po-
tential for scenic exterior views. The ad-
dition of mirrors throughout the spaces
will give the illusion of bigger spaces &
assist in providing additional lighting.
The design will approach to sustainabi-
lity, & will provide a warm, quiet,
bright, spacious, balanced,
minimal, functional,
& comfortable
space to both
guest &
client.

The design concept will incorporate the “cube,” a polygon, at a human size scale
and a subtle disintegration theme aesthetic. The concept will achieve a contem-
porary organic/modern style with its geometric and organic forms, plywood and
/or OSB surfaces, and the use of exposed materials to provide a clean, organiz-
ed, and natural sense of place. The use of reclaimed and exposed materials, and
using earth tone colors will achieve the client’s requirements. The design will app-
roach to sustainability in topics such as equity, economy, and ecology as the foun-
dation for a well designed, green project.

PRODUCTIVE PLANT SYSTEMS
Plants are not only a key to the global ecosystem, but are also crucial to human health. Through "integrated site design," a comprehensive
approach to sustainable building and site design, sustainable commercial landscape architecture practices can not only improve water &
energy efficiency, but also use plants to eliminate chemical fertilizers, produce food onsite, and provide clean air.
Benefits of Plant Systems:
Adding indoor plants to improve air quality and human productivity.
Creating commercial composting systems for efficient waste removal.
Using plants as food sources within a commercial site . For example, the hydroponic-farming system grows plants in rotating rows, one on
top of another. The rotation gives the plants the precise amount of light and nutrients they need, while the vertical stacking enables the use
of far less water than conventional farming. By growing upward instead of outward, vertical farming can expand food supplies without using
more land.

Inspired by the natural environment and
my master’s project thesis The Atrium,
an artist-in-residence community or artist
retreat, the Tree Pyramid Retreat provides
a habitat for the natural spirit that
exists in all of us. Symbolizing bigger
consciousness of strength and
energy, the pyramid can be
used for mystic ex0periences.
Combining triangular
clean white walls w/
partnering glass
windows and a 10’
x 10’ open plan,
the pyramid brings
an ancient building
typology to modern
camping architecture.
The simple geometric
shape creates a clean
aesthetic, while remaining
eye-catching due to its iconic
form. The structure can be hand-
crafted from fiberglass and locally
sourced wood. It could accommodate
up to 4 people, and can be capable
of accepting an electrical line for
electricity and heating. A web like
support system can ensure that
the pyramid stays stable, and
can be reached by spiral
staircases that can
wound around the
tree trunk.
