CURRICULUM VITAE

PERSONAL STATEMENT

As a third year graduate student here at the University of Minnesota College of Design and throughout my education as a student of architecture, I have been given the opportunity to reflect on my interests and attempt to discover what it is I hope to achieve in my career. I have found my studio work reflects an interest in graphic representation and communication storytelling. I strive to present my work in an inspiring and readable form and am interested in architectures ability to communicate with users; I am interested in how architects articulate ideas with clients, each other, and themselves. There is a power in storytelling throughout the conceptual stages, detailing, and inhabiting of the built environment.

This process of communication and understanding - the reinterpretation and translation of desires and dreams - is the most inspiring moment in design for me. The use of imagination, at times whimsy, and nearly always narrative, is what pushes me to create. I find the use of story in concept development to be a driving force behind my work. The work presented in my attached portfolio is representative of this. In Art | Space, the form, circulation, and materials are informed by opposing narratives (the artist and the viewer); Recreation | Education is inspired by the sequence of events of a boy scout troop, canoeing the St. Louis River; and the Scoop | Build | Sprout | Immerse | Wild project development was inspired by the story of what we leave behind the ability of a building to be both a monument and symbol of time passing.

Thank you for your time, and I hope you enjoy the projects attached. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
