FABRICATION (WIP)
I am a fourth year student at the University of Tennessee within their Bachelor of Architecture program.
Currently, I am working as a research assistant with Professor Mark Stanley on researching speculative futures in the Oak Ridge region and am a part of Space and Building Fabrication for the College of Architecture and Design at the university.
My current interests are in urban planning and urban zoning and how to make city’s better for the future through the use of architecture. Programs that have helped me with this have been working with the Civic Design Center during my study abroad in Nashville and using various GIS software to analyze and act. Other interests include the creation of handheld fabrication models and scene building in various render software.

2024-Farm & To & Market / R&D
Offering a Look into Speculative Futures of Agricultural, Political, and Market Compositions in a Post-Anthropocenic World
Farm & To & Market is a project that looks into agriculture, production and supply chain, and marketing and retail in the context of the post-anthropocenic world. The blur between the farm and the city is the current landscape where these systems play out and where architectural, technological, financial, and political re-mixtures are possible. This research wants to explore more reliable futures (or fictions) of agricultural economies, which are the backbone of much of the United States. This project proposes potentially strange landscapes that present future agricultural and market systems in the current US political framework while considering more sensible ethics regarding interacting people and ecologies.
