Since my early days of buildings Legos and generating endless worlds in Minecraft I have wanted to become an architect, with that comes a special thanks to my parents and to my brother for allowing me to overtake the basement of our home and transform it into a Lego city to express my designs when I was growing up.

Architecture being the discipline that is supposed to organize and even act as several different things allows for a broad range of design both big and small. With our ever changing world and the effects of climate change designers need to be the change that future designers and architects can become.

I hope to one day give back to the architectural community and help cultivate and explore new designs with the new generation of emerging professionals no matter their background or experience. My time both at Ferris State and KCAD have helped me evolve my design orientation finding a passion for model making both schematic and final. The world ahead of me is confusing but I look forward to being able to give back to those who have supported me.
