Introduction

A multidisciplinary designer merging UX research, computational design, and architectural thinking.

Skilled in parametric modeling, behavioral design strategy, and digital fabrication — with a focus on sustainable and technologically integrated spatial systems. My architectural approach merges technology, psychology, and poetics to create spaces that adapt, respond, and elevate human experience.

Behavior-Driven Form
Spatial logic begins with how people move.
Deep Empathy
Human research informs every threshold.
Sustainable Intelligence
Data-driven environmental response.
Poetic Functionality
Performance with atmosphere.

Market Hall, Lower East Side

An end-to-end studio exploration of a market hall sited in the Lower East Side of Manhattan — a dense residential neighborhood with adjacent leisure space and strong public-transit access. Daylighting and energy mapping shaped the final articulation: a low-slung volume of glass and steel framing the street while opening to the park.

Mat Building Community

Mat building plan view

Fig. 05 · Detailed plan of interconnected units

A low-density residential mat for the Sonoran climate — negotiating figure/ground between dwelling and courtyard, thermal comfort, and solar exposure. Shading devices were calibrated through iterative sun-and-shade studies to optimize for both energy conservation and roof solar yield.

Onegawa Community

A cross-dimensional study tracing the temporal relationships in the anime Millennium Actress over the aftermath of the Onagawa tsunami. Hand sketching, basswood linear construction, and photographic overlay produced a village model that connects musical metaphor to the spatial stories told by the rubble.

Spatial Study · Interior

Light Explorations

A room designed to perform light. Wall cutouts shape illumination across the day — directional, navigational, and atmospheric — turning shadow into a wayfinding vocabulary and a measure of time.

AI Explorations

In my process, AI serves as a catalyst for speculation — not a shortcut. Midjourney lets me rapidly probe atmospheric qualities, spatial behaviors, and material narratives that would be time-intensive through traditional means.
