San Francisco, CA
Arch 301, WSU Fall ‘12
1 - 2
What makes this project
unique was the ability to
travel to the site before the
design process even got
underway. This allowed the
concept of the building to
form around observations
made while on site. Most of
the observations made were
through the use of the major
human senses, such as sight,
hearing, and feel.
The observations began
to manifest into a series of
layers, similar to weather
map overlays. These layers
merged and interacted with
one another to form certain
focal points on site. When the
layers were converted into
different 3D study models,
physical buildings elements
began to become apparent.
These core building
components and placement
on site were the direct result
of site observations.
6. DOMA COFFEE HQ
Post Falls, ID
Arch 203, WSU Spr. ‘12
7 - 8
The Doma Coffee project
was rich in cultural
influences, with a focus on
sustainable design.
Preliminary studies on the
rituals involved in coffee
drinking led to an in-depth
exploration of what it means
to take part in a recurring
activity. The goal of the
design was to define the
rituals taking place in a
coffee culture, and create a
space to support these
activities.
One unique aspect I
wanted to focus on was the
human interaction with the
coffee from start to finish. By
incorporating the facilities
necessary for roasting and
processing the coffee bean
alongside the cafe,
customers then become a
part of the full coffee
experience instead of just the
end user. Each wing of the
complex opens up into its
neighbor, thus creating a
continuous flow from start to
finish.
9. PEACEFUL VALLEY COMMUNITY CENTER
Spokane, WA
Arch 303, WSU Spr. ‘13
13 - 14
Glover Park is a hidden
gem in the middle of a
bustling city. Currently, the
park is very underdeveloped
and hardly used, but locals
are hopeful for a change. The
park caters to many different
groups of people, with many
different needs. In order to
design a functional building,
thorough research and
observations around the site
and city on a large scale
were needed.
The goal of my design
was to create a building
capable of supporting a large
number of activities for a
wide range of people.
Centralizing the core
elements that would be
needed by all building users
left the area outside the core
open for all kinds of activities
and events. The building
envelope is perforated with
large openings so that
activities can expand as
needed to take advantage of
the surrounding land. As the
needs of the building change,
the aesthetics and function of
the building changes with it.
12. SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE
Kandahar, Afghanistan
Arch 401, WSU Fall ‘13
19 - 20
The city of Kandahar is a
rapidly progressing area of
Afghanistan, both culturally
and economically. The
university is a focal point of
this progression and of the
city.
The initial design
concept was to bring
something symbolic into a
new light. The dome is a
prominent shape within the
local culture, but is something
that is always seen and
experienced in one
orientation. This design
brings that form onto a
different axis, so that the
dome may be experienced in
a new way.
The local environment
influenced the building
envelope since it is so
extreme. Screens have been
used in the area for many
generations as a way to
provide views out of the
building while also providing
shade. The stone veneer and
screens give the design local
context and a more natural
feel.

Pullman, WA
Arch 403, WSU Spr. ‘14
25 - 26
The function of the
library has expanded over the
years as technology creates
new forms of media and
ways to access data. To be a
successful modern library,
these new functions must be
met.
What was needed out of
the design became evident
through feedback from the
librarians and community
members we worked closely
with. The process began with
programming studies, which
continued to play a main part
throughout the design.
Analyzing the program of the
building as a whole rather
than as single entities
allowed for a smooth
transition between rooms and
spaces. The concept is that
the easier it is to locate and
access information, the more
successful the design would
be.
My approach to this
project takes into account the
necessary functions of a
modern library, and how to
best organize them for user
convenience.

MASONRY COMPETITION
Pullman, WA
CSTM 201, WSU Fall ‘11
31 - 32
The Masonry
Competition was given as an
in-class project. The focus
was on structural wall
systems that implement
unique masonry design. This
team effort resulted in a
semi-finalist scholarship
award for excellent visuals
and analysis of the brick
structural system.
The final design was that
of a downtown bar, which
was kept simple enough to
maintain the constructible
aspect, but implemented a
unique use of brick to make it
stand out from the ordinary.
Both the architectural
and construction side of
design came out in the final
product, with considerations
given to the blend of brick in
regards to its function, as
well as the structural integrity
of different openings and
their placement.
19. ARTICULATING WALL
Pullman, WA
Arch 497, WSU Spr. ‘14
33 - 34
I entered this seminar
midway through the design
process to help bring a
complex system to life. This
team project mixed form and
mechanics to create
interactive architecture.
Computer generated forms
were animated and tested in
the early phase. Code had to
be written for the computer
controlled motors and
adjusted to fit the design.
The final design became
a wall that interacted with its
surroundings. A sound
sensor was attached to the
computer system to read the
decibel levels in a room. The
intensity of sound determined
the amount of expansion in
the wall system. LED lights
were incorporated into the
facade to give the sound
level a visible representation.
20. TEEGARDIN RESIDENCE
Vancouver, WA
Fall ‘14
35 - 36
I undertook the task of
converting hand drawn floor
plans into a digital 3D model.
The model was built from the
ground up using Revit
software.
Discrepancies between
the computer and drafted
plans were solved by taking
physical measurements of the
existing building.
Future renovations and
additions will be much easier
now that the home has been
made digital.

BIO:
As you may have guessed, I am
an aspiring designer. While my
degree is in the field of
architecture, I have come to
love all areas of design. Even
when I was young I was
entering art at the local fair, or
sketching what I thought to be
great engineering feats. And my
passion for design has only
grown.
I am constantly learning new
and better ways to design.
Being an architect in the digital
age is exciting, with new
technologies changing how we
build, interact with clients, and
analyze the environment. I
embrace these tools, but always
remain conscious of the
fundamentals of architecture. I
believe a successful design is
respectful to its surroundings,
client values, and personal
goals.
This portfolio can only provide a
small glimpse of who I am and
what I can do. I encourage you
to contact me to learn more.
