learning environment. The design features a mass turn that creates an evolution of both form and experience. The cantilever effect produces ascending terraces offering individual outdoor
experiences. Gradually opening its views to the site, a dynamic window system encourages travel through the structure to connect collaborative spaces and classrooms to the natural surroundings. A centralized core allows for efficient use of space, maximizing collaborative space while also providing privacy for both classrooms and terracing. A rotating staircase cuts through the building, creating two double-height spaces and maintaining efficient travel to promote the vertical exploration of the form.]]> An architectural board featuring circular‑form concept sketches, a rendering of a round banded building, five diagrams showing the form‑development process, exploded axonometric layers, two floor plans, and a sectional cut of the interior.]]> The **Stim-Art Facility**, an arts education center for people with Alzheimer’s and dementia, uses neuroarchitecture principles to create a calming, engaging environment. Natural materials, warm earth tones, and sensory-friendly textures support comfort, creativity, and cognitive health.
The **Pharis Learning Complex** expands on these ideas in a rural setting, promoting community engagement across multiple age groups. With adaptable learning spaces and accessible indoor-outdoor environments, the complex encourages lifelong learning and meaningful connection. ]]> These photographs capture the sense of unearthly quiet created by the cool, humid air in the dark crevices. The rough surfaces, deep fissures, and mineral deposits that have accumulated over time are highlighted by the contrast between highlights and shadows. In addition to the rocks themselves, these images convey a tale of perseverance, change, and the hidden beauty that lies beneath the surface of this place.
My work encourages viewers to take their time, examine more closely, and value the sometimes overlooked subtleties of nature. Devil's Icebox serves as a reminder of the subdued strength of nature, its mystery, and timeless beauty.]]> With photography as my foundational medium, I’ve noticed a consistent integration of photography
and music in my foray into film, resulting in unique and evocative short films. This interplay also informs my concert photography. When photographing Silversun Pickups at The Blue Note, I experimented with in-camera double exposures for the first time at a live show. I had previously held my phone screen’s reflection up to the lens to manipulate concert lighting in real-time, achieving a similar effect. In-camera multiple exposures alowed me to create effects like the band’s initials “SP” interacting with guitarist Brian Aubert and bassist Nikki Monninger. As one of my favorite bands, photographing Silversun Pickups was something I had been waiting to do all my life.
My current long-form project folows a Mizzou freshman’s journey, culminating in a feature-length
documentary on his colege experience. Across al my work, I aim to blend journalism, abstraction,
and cinematic storyteling to capture the essence of human experience. ]]> destruction found within urban decay. Inspired by James
Kerwin’s work on Heritage Architecture, I aimed to
capture the weathered surfaces, abandoned structures, and forgotten spaces that define the urban landscape in and around Columbia, MO. I focused on cracked walls,
broken windows, and overgrown plants, as well as the
intricate patterns and textures they create. Although these elements can result in captivating images, they also serve as signs of urban neglect. Through these images, I hope to reflect on the delicate balance between beauty and
destruction in an urban environment.]]> Some images in this series are heavily altered to heighten that sense of detachment, while one remains untouched, letting isolation speak through expression alone. I’m drawn to tension and contrast—the push and pull between what we see and what we feel. By merging photography and design, I want to create visuals that feel both real and dreamlike, familiar yet unsettling.]]> Perhaps you’re running out of time.
In this project, I investigate a position I find myself in—both spatially and temporally. Born too late to have time to spare, I affirm the world via a lens, and raise the question: what is worth doing when you don’t have time to do anything? ]]> seen in the industry. Rather than chasing limited editions or pristine, untouched items, JYNI invites fans to embrace imperfection, interaction, and playfulness—turning the album into a canvas for memory-making rather than a product for display or resale. This philosophy reinforces the album's core message: that joy can be found in simple moments of connection, curiosity, and creative freedom.]]> Cats have been friends of women for centuries. From catching mice, to keeping children busy, to of course companionship. But in more recent times they have been studied as a form of stress relief and treatment for mental illness. Studies have shown that petting a cat for 10 minutes can decrease levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, that you produce. They also provide a social outlet and a routine which is helpful for those struggling with depression.
The body has a base of a mannequin with hand sculpted foam elements, it is dismembered to show the feeling of dissociation. It is covered in preserved sheet moss and hand selected and painted dried products represent parts of you dying and returning to earth. The florals on and surrounding the torso are inspired by the Flemish period of design. Flemish floral design is very lavish but imperfect, it appreciates the imperfections of florals just as we need to appreciate imperfections in ourselves. The moss cat in the center of the torso is covered in hand picked and dried florals. The placement of the florals symbolizes the cat bringing back life to her. This project is dedicated to my cat Cassy, who helps bring me back to life when I am in pieces.]]>
