About Me
As a second-year B.Arch student at USC, I explore how progressive material strategies and walkable urban design can reshape our cities. My work focuses on environmental performance, site-specific materiality, and public-realm integration to foster sustainable, pedestrian-centered urban environments.

Davinci Timeline
Taking advantage of an architecture site visit, I stayed for LACMA’s free jazz night and recreated the fast-paced energy of La La Land, cutting between Mia dancing and Sebastian playing. I matched the color grading to scenes from the film for a more immersive feel and incorporated an effect from Project Hail Mary to create smoother transitions.
