Personal Profile
My appreciation for creative art began at a young age when I started creating pencil portraits of my favorite rappers. The love I have for sketching flourished as I continued to expand my horizons by drawing the world around me. This process fueled my fascination with the built environment and inspired me to pursue my career in architecture.
This portfolio is a collection of projects that represent my progress throughout my educational career as an undergraduate student at the University of Arizona College of Architecture, as well as a display of my cinematic projects that showcase my creative vision differently.

Northwest Career & Technical Academy
Civil Engineering
I attended a magnet high school that offered a specialized curriculum in civil engineering with introductory courses in basic physics, construction, and industry-standard software such as Revit or Solidworks. An architectural design course I took during my junior year was the turning point, as I was able to secure a summer internship with a local architecture firm and begin to pursue my degree the following year.
