Facilitating life and bringing joy through design. Designing with my hands and exploring different mediums for better outcomes.
Multidisciplinary Designer
Objective: Design laneway houses that reimagine the potential of Vancouver’s urban fabric by integrating nonresidential programs to create dynamic, mixed-use corridors. Explore how these often-overlooked spaces can evolve into vibrant community hubs, balancing residential living with broader neighbourhood engagement.
The laneway house is designed to accommodate two residents and a bakery on the first floor, catering to neighbourhood customers. The bakery offers fresh bread daily, perfect for breakfast or a snack on the go, and includes a small seating area for those who wish to dine in. For the residents, an entrance from the main house's backyard ensures privacy. The house features slight level differences in the first and second floors for separation of spaces, and allowing a third-floor balcony that serves as a leisure area and in-house garden.

Chocolate Packaging
Packaging | Branding
Objective: Design the front panel of the packaging for 4 different flavors and types of chocolate and explore the possibilities of color and its visual and emotional impact to communicate a message.
Cacau Amazônia is a Brazilian brand specialized in cacao products made with cacao beans grown on the Amazon forest. The four chocolate packagings were designed with locally sourced materials in mind and features graphics inspired by traditional Amazonian art.
Donut Shop
Interiors | Architecture
Objective: Develop the functional space for a Donut shop using the intersections of two shipping containers. Utilize CAD to create floor plans and elevations to then create a scale model.
The challenge of designing a space with two shipping containers was to ensure it didn't feel cramped. To increase ceiling height, the containers were stacked and angled to avoid a hallway-like layout. Tall windows were incorporated to maximize light and create a sense of spaciousness.
Pasta Branding
Packaging | Branding
Objective: Design a brand and packaging to introduce a new line of locally produced organic products, targeted at a young and urban audience.
West Pasta’s branding targets local and conscious consumers, with packaging illustrations that reflect a relatable lifestyle and connection to British Columbia.
Luminous Object
Lighting | Materials
Objective: Design, Document, and Fabricate a small Luminous Object, while exploring the relationship between Narrative, Form, Materiality, and Value— from concept to fabrication.
The design of the Sundrop Flower has a lot of personal meaning, inpired by one of my favourite movies from childhood, “Tangled,” and a sunflower. The luminous object symbolizes happiness and resilience, it functions as a decorative and emotional object. It’s materials include copper wire and cotton yarn done in an intricate crochet work.
