Architecture has been my way of turning ideas into something tangible. Over four years in the Lick-Wilmerding architecture program, I’ve learned that good design isn’t just aesthetic; it’s about solving problems that shape how people live. Each model represents more than 150 hours of concept development, schematic design, and construction, guided by carbon-neutral and user-centric principles.

I approach every project as a challenge to translate ideas into form, testing, refining, and building until a concept works in practice. These models reflect that process of experimentation and craft, showing how small, deliberate choices can lead to structures that are both innovative and lasting.

Below are two of my favorite original models: a performing arts center in San Francisco and a cabin in Lake Tahoe.
