Objective To contribute to the environmental design culture using current technical, social, and intellectual skill; enabling personal growth through interaction with individuals with similar goals and interests.
Proficient in OS X, Windows, Autocad, Rhino, Grasshopper, Sketchup, Vray Render, Maxwell Render, llustrator, After Effects, Photoshop, Indesign, and Revit. Intermediate in Maya and 3ds Max.
Neil M. Denari Architects (NMDA) Under architect Neil Denari, helped design and produce for the Keelung Harbor International Competition. The complete design of a 1,000,000 ft² port terminal in Keelung City, Taiwan earned first place in the competition and is expected to be completed in 2017.
Brooks + Scarpa Architects Under architect Lawrence Scarpa, helped design and produce for the Sunnylands Retreat Competition and the University of North Florida Chapel Competition. The first phase of the UNF Chapel Competition was completed in December 2012 and is still awaiting results.
Ryder DesignUnder architect Eric Otto Ryder, responsibilites range from schematic design to construction phase services in smaller commercial and residential projects. Ryder Design has allowed full exposure and participation to all stages of architectural basic services.

GEO-GRAPHICS:2d - metropolis
Project Type: Academic
Location: Westwood Village,
Los Angeles, California,
United States of America
Square footage: 693550 m²
Role: Designer, Production

In a 30 week studio under architect Neil Denari (NMDA), UCLA SUPRAstudio
explores the representation of urban fabric in GEO_GRAPHICS. A Tabula Rasa
project, the redefinition of Westwood Village, Los Angeles, California is one
that began in a freefall of graphic explorations. This design holds the DNA of
a conceptual process in which a pattern of contour lines are extracted from a
controlled surface. As the graphic pattern is further realized as an urban scheme,
the urban opportunities of the initial transformation from 3d to 2d becomes more
apparent with a taxonomy of building languages shaping urban experience through
the interstitial. The process ultimately provides new speculation on the culture of
urban planning and serves as an exploration.

Work-flow:new keelung harbor
Project Type: Professional
Location: Keelung, Taiwan
Square footage: 5300 m²
Role: Designer, Production
Credit: NMDA
A competition that I participated in the summer of 2012 with NMDA, “Work-Flow:
New Keelung Harbor” will serve as a terminal, office building, and commercial
area to Keelung City and will be known to be the “Gateway to Central Asia” when
completed in 2017. It was a great experience to work with Neil Denari outside of
UCLA, and served to be an eye opening experience that exposed me to the reality
of graphic architecture.
The fuction of the project focuses on a flow of work and leisure transport. These
elements, while functioning separately, are connected through the mediums
of architecture and design. Using the same program and interacting at various
moments at each entity’s separate path, the flow of ideas and information are driv
ing forces in the design of the new service project.

U.n.f.Interfaith Chapel
Project Type: Professional
Location: Jacksonville, Florida, USA
Square Footage: 6500 ft²
Role: Designer, Production
Credit: Brooks + Scarpa Architects
Located in the University of North Florida, the proposal for the Interfaith Chapel by
Brooks + Scarpa is a project I worked closely with Lawrence Scarpa that addresses
the understanding of humanity through the unification of a greater force.
With a form inspired by a flowing dress, the metal cladded shell is a form supported
by a lamella truss; with openings directly aligned with astrological axis’ enhancing
the connection between the user, the building, and the cosmos.
“This combination of flowing natural and cosmic elements results in a unique,
formal building while providing a warm interior with soft filtered and reflected light.
It inspires an indelible wonder; a dreamlike state of mind that engages the user,
heightens their sense of awareness, and brings a deeper understanding to their
experience.”

Lake tahoefloating stage
Project Type: Professional
Location: South Lake Tahoe, CA, USA
Square Footage: 925 ft²
Role: Designer, Production
Credit: Ryder Design
The goal of the proposal for South Lake Tahoe is to re-invent the Lakeview
Commons Amphitheater experience in a way that fuses the serene nature of the
Sierra Nevada Mountains with the music and art culture of South Lake Tahoe.
Currently, concert goers experience live music from the park area and view the
act performing on the sand. Motivated to enhance this experience, the ambition
was to create a structure that could extend its medium to the lake itself. In doing
so, creates an opportunity that could enhanced the visual and audible impact to a
larger number of people.
Another goal was to have the structure serve a purpose in its dormant phase i.e.
when it is not being used as a stage. The opportunity presents itself as an ambition
to use architecture to enhance this motive.
The chrysalis-like structure floats in solace and serves as an art piece in dormant
periods and “awakens” when needed. Using pivots that shift three main pieces, a
relationship between these two formations is established; serving its purpose to
enhance the music and art culture around it.
