The NEXT law office in Downtown LA channels the district’s rich arts legacy, transforming legal practice into a living canvas. Justice breathes and creativity blooms through a rotating showcase of local artists and a greenhouse gallery that invites nature into the dialogue. The space blends raw materials with organic forms, reflecting law as an evolving work of art—open to interpretation, shaped by culture, and rooted in community.

December 2025

In a team of four students, we researched the physical, cognitive, and emotional needs of users in a higher‑education studio space. Together, we analyzed the existing room and specified furniture, materials, and acoustic strategies, producing a full set of specifications, a budget, and a material audit. My role focused on building the project in Revit and creating the final renderings for our proposal.

May 2024

For this project, we were tasked with designing a live-work pavilion for a designer of our choice within the parameters given to us. Following a long ideation and research process I arrivated at my final design, which includes tiered roofs, and a work space which was separate from the rest of the house to allow for a differentiation of the work space from the private home space.

Spring 2024

Materials and Techniques: cardstock, laser cut

For this project, I created a repeatable module that connects to itself to form a larger system. I focused on developing a standardized component with integrated connections using tabs, slits, or folds, so the assembly required no adhesives. I also explored adding pattern and texture through laser‑cutting.

The final piece was designed to reach roughly 18 inches, with the module’s scale and repetition determining the overall form.

Fall 2023

Materials: Wooden reeds, tissue paper

For this project, I built an organic form using reed and tissue paper, based on shapes found in nature. I developed a series of iterative models, each one building on the last, so the forms stayed related and recognizable as a family. My focus was on capturing the main shapes and subtle characteristics of the source material without recreating a literal shell, leaf, or fruit. I simplified, isolated, and exaggerated key features to create a new form. The final piece also included a viewing portal that revealed how the interior and exterior structures connected.

Fall 2024

Materials and Techniques: Bristol board, MDF, laser cut

I designed a commercial and residential building that explored how Ukrainian and Swedish cultures converged. I developed the model through a sequence of steps with mapping cultural patterns, translating them into massing studies, and refining materials and interiors. Each iteration helped me reveal how both cultures reshaped one another, and the final building expressed this convergence through shared patterns, traditions, and memories.

Fall 2024

Materials and Techniques: Acrylic, laser cut

I created a palimpsest that recorded how Ukrainian and Swedish cultural identities converged through the experiences of immigrants and refugees. My goal was to show how both cultures, each struggling to preserve or rebuild a sense of place and identity, overlapped and reshaped one another. I expressed this convergence through an architectural pergola element that drew from the patterns, traditions, and shared memories of both cultures.
