3. I have seven years experience in architecture with specialties in Libraries, Schools, Interior Design,
Programming, Environmental design, and feasibility studies. I have work with public project entities
such as LACCD, LABOD, LAUSD, LA METRO, and the Port of Los Angeles. I hold a Bachelors of
Architecture from California State University Pomona (2007). I am also LEED AP and have carry out
LEED silver certified projects. My current position is “designer and project coordinator” at IBI Group,
an international firm with 78 offices worldwide.
I can generate project deliverables from schematic to construction documents and I am also capable
of coordinating with project consultants. I am familiar with Building Codes and understand technical
documentation. Most importantly, I am a good team member and can work independently. I have
worked as key project coordinator for a wide range of projects, including Southeast Branch Library
in San Jose, Bailey Library in East Los Angeles College, Walnut Park Elementary, and Carnival Cruise
Terminal to name a few.
My primary role at IBI encompasses all aspects of project delivery including concept design,
schematic design, design development, environmental design strategies, full construction
documents, and construction observation. I am capable of identifying the projects parameters
and analyze objectives. I can generate multimedia project presentations and have verbal skills to
convey concepts. I am also fully capable to generate 2D and 3D documents. I am proficient in
various software platforms such as Adobe CS, Aftereffects, Autocad 2014, Revit, 3D Studio Max,
Rhinoceros 3d with parametric plugging Grasshopper, and SketchUp.
On top of my architectural work, my extracurricular activities include being a co-founder of
Aphidoidea, a design and art collective. I have created several site specific Art Installations that
function as investigational thesis that engage the senses, and use unconventional materials. We
have recently finished an installation for the Regional Transportation Department - Light Rail (Denver,
Colorado) for Red Rocks Community College light rail station. We have also been commissioned to
create an Art Installation for Coachella Valley Music and Art Festival 2013, Burning Man 2012-2013,
and Santa Monica Glow 2013. This of course, is a creative and experimental outlet, in which, I apply
to architecture directly and indirectly. I have worked with community art revitalization programs such
as: Long Beach Arts Council, Inner City Arts, Flux, and Phantom Galleries, Boca Raton Museum of
Art and the YMCA.
I am a creative design enthusiast, hard worker, problem-solver, detail obsessed, responsible and
reliable. I am passionate about design, ideas, collaboration, and most important of all learning.
I believe that architecture, and an architect’s responsibilities, extend beyond the project’s scope
of work. I view design as a holistic process that encompass all aspect of one’s surroundings;
environment, social, cultural, political, and economical landscapes. In which, all of these entities
should be examined as origins, visual, tactile, and conceptual opportunities for each project.

SHADED CANOPIES & VIP LOUNGE
Located at the historical Howard Huges
Spruce Goose’s Dome at the Long Beach
Marina, and adjacent to the Queen Mary
Ship. The Carnival Cruise Line canopy
extensions and VIP lounge were design to
accomodate the overgrowing number of
cruise passengers that will have to wait to
embark. The series of staggered canopies
were design in a dynamic fashion in order
to reflect the cheerfulness of the cruise
line as well as the juxtapos of the historical
elements in the site

12. LACCD HEAD QUARTERS TI
Compete ground floor remodel of the Los
Angeles Community College Distric head
quartes office. Some of the major challenges
were to desire to bring exterior light to the
work area at the center of the buidling,
as well as the existing buiilding utility and
communications lines going thorugh the
space. Our desing approach created a series
of soffits and overhead transoms in order to
satisfy the design requirements and be able
to achieve a modern yet formal aesthetic.

(B) LIVING SKIN
The “Living Skin” is a floating grid system that provides
support for several sustainable applications that will
enhance the buildings appearance and environmental
character. The grid can support open metal link fabric for
a green wall solution; Eco-Screen, perforated screen walls
for reduced light pollution; vertical and/or horizontal louver
for heat gain reduction as well as solar photovoltaic panels
for energy production.
(C) PLUG-ONS
Two elements can be added above the lower level
glazing to provide shade and weather protection.
The first is an eyebrow attached to the face of the
building from which it projects three feet. The
second is a free standing canopy which could be
used as either an entry or a lunch shelter.
(A) UPPER LEVEL
FENESTRATION
A eight foot strip fenestration system borders all flexible
areas of the upper level rising from a three foot sill to 11
feet. The system is adaptable from the manufacturer to
provide fixed and operable windows, solid insulated panels,
and shading eyebrows.
(D) LOWER LEVEL
FENESTRATION
An adaptable window wall system is used which not
only can be customized for interior uses, but can be
changed without extensive reconstruction.This would
allow for example for the addition or elimination of
doors as uses change. The system employs a “stick”
system which allows the verticals to be removed
changing the infill and is nine feet high.
FIXED / OPERABLE WINDOW WALL SINGLE OR DOUBLE DOORSLOUVERSSOLID INSULATED PANELS SECURITY SCREENS
The exterior skin is designed to adapt to a wide variety of conditions for the building. Use of exterior compo-
nents helps to protect the building from climatic and orientation issues. The flexibility of the systems and com-
ponents also encourage the flexibilty of the interior space of the building. The wide range of finishes and
fenestration patterns offered will help the building to seemlessly blend in with any existing campus aesthetic.

Semifinalist for the modular design
competition held by LAUSD. Our proposal
consisted of a core and shell buidling
that was adaptable on the inside to
house multiple specific programs, and
on the outside to house multiple exterior
applications to adapt to the site and
orientation and specific use on the interior.

CORE BUILDING CONCEPTS
CORE BUILDING
GROUND LEVEL FENESTRATION
STOREFRONT SYSTEM
The exterior of flexible space on the
ground floor has a nine foot high glazing
system which can vary with the use. The
lower floor window wall has a window
wall system which can be easily changed
as required. Two exit doors are located
next to the core.
SECOND LEVEL FENESTRATION
RIBBON WINDOW SYSTEM
The upper floors has an eight foot high
ribbon strip of glazing which also can be
designed to the use inside.
HEAT PUMP MECHANICAL
SYSTEM
EXPANDABLE AND FLEXIBLE
SYSTEM
We have chosen a fluid fed heat
pump system for its space efficiency
and adaptability. Heat pump units
would be fed by hot and water from
a boiler and cooling tower on the
roof. A supply air duct would be run
over the corridor between the cores
where the units and main piping also
run.
CONCRETE SHELL AND
CORE BUILDING
FLEXIBLE INTERIOR AND
EXTERIOR SYSTEMS
the skin would be built convention-
ally using steel studs with a thin
exterior finish. While any light weight
thin finish could be applied to this
building, we are showing cement
plaster, fiberboard, corrugated
metal, and phenolic panels.
MOMENT CONNECTION STEEL
STRUCTURE
The structural system is a steel moment
frame system which eliminates all structural
intrusions into the flexible space with the
exception of three columns.

BUILDING CONFIGURATION
The building is a two story rectangle with exterior
dimensions of 80 feet by 196 feet. It has two
cores at the corners containing stairs, toilets,
mechanical/electrical rooms, janitors closets and
storage. The space between is open loft space
interrupted only by three structural columns..
BUILDING SIZE
The “sweet spot”: We felt it was crucial that there
only be two stair cores with open space in
between. The size of the the building is therefore
the maximum allowable area for occupancy on the
second floor without adding a third stair by code.
This would limit the upper floor to 500 occupants
at 20 sf per occupant plus circulation, wall thick-
ness and services. Since the most common use
for the second level will be teaching space, there
could be up to 10,000 sf of occupiable space.
This would allow a maximum of ten conventional
classroom/lab spaces without adding a third stair
and determined the optimum size of our building.
The basic building shell will be common to all
applications. It will have the same configuration,
structural system and building systems.This basic
shell will be able to be pre-checked by DSA and
will not vary in later applications. With each appli-
cation the building will have an interior layout and
exterior skin application to adapt it to its use and
site conditions.
BUILDING VOLUME
We have configured floor to floor heights generously to allow for a variety of uses.
The lower floor has a fourteen foot floor to floor to allow a larger volume for larger
spaces. The roof slopes in a single slope to control runoff. The highest volumes
are over the larest potion of the flexible volume. The lowest volumes are over the
cores to hide roof mounted equipment with the highest parapet.

18. THROUGH THE CATTAILS
Art installation for the Coachella Music and
Art Festival 2013. The inspiration derives
from the environment created by a field of
cattails. Similar to the wild cattails, the piece
is designed to flex with the wind creating
a simple harmonic motion. This installation
consists of 97 coroplast hexagon abstract
cattail. Each cattail has a column made out
of a telescoping 2” diameter emt pipe, its
own light module controlled by a networked
microcontroller that will gradually array
multiple colors. During the day, relax under
the cattails by its gentile sway and shade.
And at night, lounge under its canopy and its
ambience of ever changing animated light.

Artwork created for the Red Rocks College
Station in Lakewood, Colorado. The two
large undulating planes suggest the motion
of arriving and departure. while one shape
suggests the “Arriving” to the station,
the other shape implies “Departing” into a
journey. This station is the exchange place
for knowledge, diversity and opportunity. The
college provides knowledge, the community
and the station provide diversity, and the
two combined provide opportunities for all.
This is the reciprocity of intellect, diversity,
and opportunity between the campus,
Lakewood, the broader community, and the
world. Knowledge obtain, knowledge gained
and knowledge given.
