Thanks for visiting my website! Explore my work, learn more about me, and check out my links to see my portfolio, resume, and projects.

I am an aspiring architect and designer dedicated to exploring the relationship between architecture and community. My work is centered around creating spaces that are not only functional but also contribute to the social and cultural fabric of the places they serve. As a student, I approach design with a research-driven mindset, blending historical context, technological tools, and creative problem-solving to develop thoughtful, site-responsive projects.

My portfolio spans a diverse range of architectural explorations, from mixed-use developments to educational and cultural institutions, residential designs, and experimental structures. I am particularly interested in the impact of architecture on communities, as seen in my involvement with seeding projects in West Point, MS, community-based housing in Biloxi, MS, a job training center in Yellow Creek, MS, and low-income housing initiatives in Memphis, TN. These projects reflect my commitment to designing spaces that address social needs, foster engagement, and enhance the built environment.

I utilize a variety of digital tools, including Rhino, Revit, SketchUp, AutoCAD, and Grasshopper for modeling, as well as Adobe and Microsoft products for visualization and documentation. My design process is highly iterative, involving deep analysis, detailed modeling, and clear communication of each stage.

This website serves as a platform to showcase my evolving body of work, from conceptual studies to built projects and academic research. Whether you're a collaborator, mentor, or fellow designer, I invite you to explore my portfolio and reach out for discussions, opportunities, or insights.
