I am a recent graduate of Iowa State University College of Design with my Bahelor's in Architecture. I am constantly looking to expand my design career through internships and job opportunities. My work in design has mainly been focused around the projects and competitions related to my schoolwork, however I am beginning to expand my portfolio through employment and independent projects. My goal is to create, using architecture, moments of enjoyment in both the ordinary and extraordinary.

My perspective on design is informed by three different worlds. From one, I currently work as a client development intern for BNIM Architects, helping with project documentation and managing information, along with other miscellaneous studio tasks. From another, I worked for six years in the field of information technology, as both a student manager and system analyst, developing information management skills, specializing in the role of technology with client interaction. Finally, I continue to work in theater, both as an improv comedian, developing teamwork, presentation and idea generating skills, and I also work as a designer, helping with set design for plays. In the past, I design for Iowa State University's theater department in such shows as Dog Sees God, Alice in Wonderland, and Chekhov Short Stories.

All three of these worlds help to frame my outlook and theory of design. Primarily, I have begun developing my connections between theater, architecture, and technology, developing a methodology that explores the new advances in technology as well as the necessity of play and improvisation in the design process.
