Whether that be moving to a new neighborhood to seeking shelter from a natural disaster, these rooms serve as a space for to rest and recouperate. Living Engine The living Engine (inspired by the Omega Eco Machine) is a system that uses plants, bacteria, algae, and fungi to recycle wastewater from the building, site, and surrounding properties into clean water for later use as well as restoring the local aquifer. The system is chemical free, uses no energy, and creates a closed-loop hydrological cycle.

Design For Discovery The creation of this building evolved from a top-down perspective. Starting with the overall community, then the development of the site itself, then the program, and finally back to the community. We discovered through first hand experience of visiting the site and through a plethora of reveiws, that it is very easy to become wrapped up in the creation of the project, but when it comes down to it, were creating a community. Not a building.

Pan Handle Extension
The Panhandle Extension project proposes a transformative vision of the city block located at 1377 Fell Street in San Francisco. Embracing the city’s forward thinking approach of discouraging vehicular parking in favor of public transportation, the project aims to repurpose the existing San Francisco DMV space into a dynamic, adaptable urban hub that redefines the conventional boundaries of mixed-use development. Envisioned as a multifaceted entertainment center with integrated housing units, the design caters to the diverse needs and aspirations of the San Francisco community. The meticulously planned layout incorporates a range of amenities, including a bowling center, an indoor golf simulator, a laser tag house, fine dining establishment, an arcade, outdoor sports facilities, and a dedicated kids’ play area. This comprehensive approach extends beyond mere entertainment, fostering community engagement through outdoor eating spaces, an auditorium for events, and other attractions. The Panhandle Extension project thus emerges, not only as an architectural endeavor, but as a social catalyst, promoting innovation, economic growth, and a vibrant gathering spot that reflects San Francisco’s resilience and commitment to sustainability.

HOSEA-WILLIAMS Hosea-Williams is a multi-family apartment complex designed to provide housing for single mothers who have recently been released from prison and are the sole guardians of their children. One of the greatest challenges these women face upon release is finding stable housing. This directly affects their ability to regain or maintain custody of their children, as a safe, consistent, and affordable home environment is a key factor considered by the Department of Human Services (DHS) when determining the suitability of a home. The goal of this project is to create affordable, clean, and secure housing that offers these small families a foundation to rebuild their lives and move toward long-term stability.

The building contains 34 residential units with four distinct floor plan options. With such a wide range of units, space planning quickly became one of the project’s biggest challenges. After determining the allowable site coverage, we began by designing the ADA-compliant unit to ensure all accessibility requirements were met. Once that layout was established, we developed the remaining unit types, refining their configurations to achieve the most efficient and code-compliant design.

ABOUT ME I am a designer shaped by hands-on craft, from woodworking and metalworking to painting and gardening, bringing that same attention to detail to every project I touch. Growing up in rural Iowa allowed me to explore a wide variety of trades, which directly inform the work I do today. I hold a Master of Architecture degree, a certificate in construction management , and extensive construction experience across road work, hardscaping, landscaping, and building trades. Since graduating, I have stepped confidently into the role of Project Coordinator and Studio Manager where I lead design production, coordinate with clients and consultants, assist with presentations, and manage daily studio operations for multi-family, commercial, and residential projects. I am proficient in Revit , Rhino , and Grasshopper , which I use to develop detailed models and explore parametric design. I also utilize Climate Studio and Ladybug for environmental performance analysis, and the Adobe Suite and rendering software for presentations. I am on track to obtain my architecture license. When I design, I focus on building a strong foundation for each project by gathering all available data before beginning the creative process. My goal is to create designs that are functional, thoughtful, and beautiful while connecting with the people and environments that experience them. My diverse background—from construction to retail, childcare, and even the criminal justice system—has strengthened my adaptability, communication, and understanding of diverse needs. To date, I have contributed to over 40 projects .
