About 

I am a recent graduate from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Most of my work lies at the intersection of art and architecture. I enjoy data visualization, prototyping and creating strong narratives for buildings.

I am now actively seeking an opportunity in which my experience in installation design and data visualization can cultivate a deeper understanding between humans and their visual connections.

Awards 

AIA CRIT Scholar 2019-2020, Grant

CRIT Scholar is a research-based program that is supported by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in partnership with several prominent architecture firms. The program aims to support student research and will serve as an exclusive opportunity for students to receive further guidance in their own research from a professional advisor. The long-term objective is to encourage students to be actively involved in furthering architectural innovation in support of the design profession through mentored research projects embedded in academia and practice. Each recipient will receive a $1,000 grant for their research project and will be personally matched with a mentor involved in conducting research at an architectural firm. Mentorship from this practitioner will further assist them with their projects by giving them a practical perspective on their work as well as insights into working at an architectural firm.

The AIAS is looking forward to seeing their final projects at next year’s CRIT Live: Research Symposia.
