About

Lawrence Technological University - B.S. Interior Architecture - 2018

I grew up watching my father, a carpenter and general contractor, turn raw materials into homes filled with purpose and possibility. From an early age, I was surrounded by blueprints, tools, and the rhythm of construction—where every challenge was met with thoughtful problem-solving and hands-on creativity. I saw how he approached each project not just as a structure to build, but as a puzzle to solve and a vision to bring to life. His ability to think critically, adapt in the moment, and craft something both functional and beautiful deeply inspired me. That environment shaped the way I see the world today and sparked my desire to become a designer—someone who blends creativity with precision to create spaces that truly matter.

Fast forward and I was a full time Interior Architecture student at Lawrence Technological University while receiving a scholarship to play for the women's soccer team.

Jumping from one team to another, be it sports or studio, my decision to pursue architecture was solidified through a love of collaboration, innovation and discipline.

 

Architecture, to me, is the art of shaping possibility into place. I believe design should be grounded in context, responsive to environment, and crafted with intention. My passion lies in creating spaces that do more than function; they inspire, connect, and endure. I aspire to contribute to architecture that elevates everyday life—thoughtful, sustainable environments that reflect culture, foster community, and stand as meaningful expressions of their time

Here is a partial accumulation of my rendered work over the last 6 years in architectural design.

Background

Work experience

GES - Architectural Designer

2019-Present

With over 6 years at a multidisciplinary firm with a diverse scope of projects, I have experience in both commercial and residential work from the initial engineering phases all the way through architectural schematic design and construction documentation.

 

My strengths include client and team collaboration, conceptual design, and the production of clear, well-coordinated floor plans, elevations, 3D models, and high-quality renderings, with a solid understanding of MEP systems. I worked hand in hand with both the engineering and architectural departments, ensuring integrated, efficient designs and smooth coordination throughout the project lifecycle.
