This piece was created in February 2024 in response to my growing concerns with the state of the American political and social justice systems. The previous summer, I read No More Police: A Case for Abolition by Mariame Kaba and Andrea J. Ritchie. The book significantly influenced my understanding of our modern criminal justice system, particularly the […]
As part of my internship with the Hudson Yards Hell’s Kitchen Alliance, I created marketing campaigns to be used on their social media accounts, newsletters, and website. The content includes neighborhood alerts and updates, business opportunities, community events, and announcements on art installations. Below are some examples of the content I created for them. The […]
This summer I had the honor of being the project assistant and documenter for the Youth Public History Institute, a new project conceived by Mariame Kaba of Project NIA and Interrupting Criminalization focusing on the histories of prisons, slavery and rebellion, policing and surveillance, research and social justice.

One of my goals in this project was to preserve the site’s usability. Instead of the building being […]
This project studied Peter Zumthor’s Zinc Mine Museum. Zumthor was commissioned to revamp the already existing zinc mines. He developed simplistic buildings “inspired by the mining operation […] and the workers’ strenuous everyday lives” (ArchDaily). Laminated wood holds the main structure. The all-black exterior and interior resemble a gallery and does not take away from […]
The Art Incubator is designed with the goal of creating both a visually stimulating and a physically interactive space for museum-goers in one cohesive structure. The surrounding site and its buildings are on a box-like grid, with typical rectangular buildings built throughout the neighborhood. The Art Incubator juxtaposes the box-like form of its neighbors with […]
This project was designed Fall 2021 after studying the Mesa House in Utah designed by Annabelle Selldorf. The Mesa House is a private resort tucked into a desert, surrounded by Utah’s natural environment, making the structure serve the landscape, rather than vice versa. When looking at it, I felt the landscape was more of the […]
