I am an architecture student at the University at Buffalo. My portfolio highlights both academic projects and independent explorations across a wide range of mediums, including lead, charcoal, and digital modeling software. I aim to challenge the indifference of much contemporary work, which prioritize capital over humanity, creating spaces that are emotionally resonant, thought-provoking, and rooted in human experience.
On the side, I author articles on substack covering architecture, politics, society. I also study classical literature and romance languages such as Spanish and French. I enjoy self-directed learning; most recently teaching myself HTML, CSS, Java.

Zenith
In contrast to the elaborate and fantastical space stations often depicted in films, contemporary space stations are grounded in functionality. Drawing inspiration from cinema, I created Zenith. Essentially a skyscraper in orbit, it aims to provide residential living. I took full advantage of Fusion360‘s features to develop the station’s intricate and unique design.
Edinburgh
Nations once prided themselves on their architecture, which stood as a testament to their victories, economic prosperity, global standing. Public space was at the epicenter of society. Structures were envisioned and created upon humanistic principles and emotional resonance. Today, architecture is dominated by capitalism; buildings are allocated lackluster budgets and erected at lightning speed. This artwork features fragments of credit cards meant to symbolize the gradual infiltration of capitalism into the built environment.
Sensu
An axonometric drawing representing the final model for my ARC101 studio project. For this project, I created four rooms, each formed from at least one flat surface and fan. The fifth room, is distinct, formed entirely from fans, with a roof that swoops downward to conceal the space. The circulation encourages a slowed experience: steps add deliberate pacing, while the fans curve to guide movement toward corners, obscure certain views, and invite users to linger and re-engage with the space.
