I am a University of Waterloo architecture student with a newfound interest in the intersection of nature and Brutalist architecture and I hope to incorporate that much more in future designs! My design process is a mix of traditional and digital techniques, starting with hand sketches, physical models, and mixed-media collages to experiment with spatial relationships. I also bring my artistic side into my work, using watercolour and other elements to add character and life to my architectural renderings. Recently, I have been getting familiar with digital fabrication methods to push my model-making skills further. I am especially drawn to public spaces, cultural institutions, and mixed-use developments that integrate nature into the built environment.
