“I’m passionate about the integration of new emerging technologies with buildings. During my graduate studies I took generative design and digital fabrication courses in which I looked into a series of concepts. I believe these are a few methods that will form the future of architecture where software will drive new ideas, forms and functions. I’ve been developing my skills in organization, multitasking, and leadership through my involvement with BLNKA. I consider myself a team player ready to take on any role the team needs to complete our goal.”
Director of Operations & Architecture, Co-Founder

“I believe that Architects can lead methods and trends which extend to every facet of the building industry and as a discipline of innovation and precedent, I know it’s never a bad time to set a good example or to rethink old traditions. For these reasons, I find urban design, community planning and exhibition architecture highly fascinating and compelling. I’ve seen firsthand the incredible, positive impact architecture can have on communities and individuals and I hope, as an aspiring architect, to become a proponent of that change for others.”

“As designers, we have the responsibility to not only create beautiful experiences, but to create and support equitable opportunities in the communities we build in. I have been fortunate to receive support from my communities, which have contributed to my personal and professional development. My studies in architecture and urban planning have provided me with tools and methods to deliver opportunities back to my communities. Through collective engagement and participatory design we can create master plans that stimulate the cultural identity of the communities we live and work in. As a member of the BLNKA team, my mission is to provide a platform that encourages inclusion and self expression for designers, artists, and creatives in their communities.“
Director of Art
TTU - B.S. in Architecture / TTU - Minor in Art History / HCC - General Studies
“Within me is a desire to express the inexpressible, give form to the formless, & every day I create, my connection with art becomes a profound outlet. Through this meticulous creativity, my aspiration is to remind others of the passion that art & architecture embody. I believe that this awareness, this recognition of our local culture, can embolden the transformation of our communities. I believe every one of us, every new generation acting together, has historical agency in interpreting the cultural fabric, adding our own unique hues to the tapestry of life. The BLNKA team is dedicated to this vision. Our vision is to ignite the threads of imagination, guided by compassionate appraisal of self-expression, infused with versatile programming in the arts.”
