I am a multidisciplinary designer trained in architecture, digital studies, and spatial choreography. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Southern California with a Bachelor of Architecture, with focused experience in parametric design, environmental performance, and inclusive spatial systems.
At USC, I worked as a research associate under Doris Sung, developing and testing pollutant-extracting façade systems through parametric iteration, environmental simulation, and physical prototyping. I applied this research in practice at Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects, where I designed a perforated aluminum canopy using Grasshopper and Rhino and produced final CAD drawings for fabrication of an 8,000-square-foot panel system. The design leveraged biomimetic geometries to reduce solar heat gain while establishing a strong architectural identity. In parallel, I contributed to internal efforts around inclusive design, helping guide the development of public restrooms that are safe and accessible for people of all genders-research I expanded in my senior thesis focused on community-oriented bathroom design. My work is often playful and provocative, using spectacle not as excess, but as a means of engagement and connection.
I currently work as a Designer and Home Stylist at West Elm, where I translate client goals into buildable solutions within defined budgets and timelines. Alongside professional work, I am pursuing licensure and am preparing for the ARE Practice Management exam this March.
I would be delighted by the opportunity to contribute my diverse skills to your integrated design practice while continuing along the path towards architectural licensure.
