A sugar scrub exfoliates, removing dirt, dead skin cells, and a stale layer of skin. I had sugar packets that I never use so I thought I’d whip up a sugar scrub that I learned from working at a women’s hydrotherapy spa. With a self-love meditation, it’s easy, satisfying, and rejuvenating for a fresh new you.

Between breakfastes, I made a cushion cover from a well loved blanket of grass for meditation, prayer, and garden gazing.

From traditional uses in spas to medical discoveries, a bouquet of Eucalyptus provides many physical, mental, emotional, and environmental benefits. Something so simple as putting Eucalyptus leaves in your shower helps with respiratory, skin, and muscle health and can protect you from harmful bacteria. It's like a really beneficial decoration and it happened to be beautiful, plentiful, store-bought, safe, and simple, how charming is that?

Forks, WA
With a population of 3,828, Forks, Washington could use a regional airport but designed for its own pace. With a Wabi-Sabi Americana moodboard, I designed a simple warehouse frame and a curvy path for the drop-off experience. The final project is presented in a poem tour with allegorical characters discussing the interior architecture’s potential.

Seattle, WA

Re-barre is an architecture project for the Seattle Waterfront. Its exterior draws graceful arch inspiration from local landmarks and its interior is designed to uplift low-income communities through programs in lit and dance therapy. Inspired by Pongo, the poetry program for at-risk teens, the writing center helps individuals express their emotions. In conjunction, the dance studio stands as a beacon for communities to congregate at the waterfront’s crown jewel that represents Emerald City.

Los Angeles, CA
The Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) Spring Show feels like an art show with an underlining analytical social commentary on our built environment. With Bachelor, Master, and Post Doctorate programs in Architecture and related specialties, SCI-Arc injects a requirement for creative problem-solving on space use, new tech construction methods, and elaborate building and presentation concepts. The outcomes present a well-rounded, cultured, and dedicated direction for human innovation.

Los Angeles, CA
I volunteered for the 2023 LA Maker Faire, teaching kids how to move a robot with code. With the South Los Angeles Robotics booth, a mobile afterschool program, we showed how coding with Scratch, a simplified program for beginners, can strengthen logical problem-solving, increase creativity, and build teamwork. Interviewing the founders, I found that kids as young as 8 pick up languages like HTML, Python, and C++, build the mechanics for a compatible robot, and compete internationally. 

Black Rock City, NV
A float is a lot like Burning Man, and in many ways can continue its free-wheelin’ fun times into our regular society. Let your float whisk you to creative possibilities that may soon come to life in this city-wide party.

I designed a lunar research facility located on the south pole of our moon to avoid direct sunlight obstruction for the telescope, research more chemical components since hydrogen falls along the magnetic field, and observe the sun’s behavior as it always sits on the surrounding horizon. With colored glass sourced from its regolith, the interior architecture becomes chapel-like and sets the lunar vernacular.

For the Seattle Department of Transpiration curb bulb design, I abstracted Seattle’s natural landscape with mathematical properties to create a wave-like tile. Fused with thermoplastic, the pattern translates into a flowing stream along the streets of Ballard and Alki Beach.
