Architecture
Welcome to my architectural project portfolio, which showcases my expertise and experience in designing a range of buildings, from public schools to multifamily housing and universities. As an architect, I believe that the built environment should be inspiring, functional, and sustainable, and my portfolio reflects these values.
In my portfolio, you will find a diverse range of projects, each with its unique challenges and opportunities. From designing state-of-the-art classrooms and science labs for public schools to creating innovative and affordable housing solutions for urban communities, I have demonstrated my ability to work with clients to develop tailored design solutions that meet their specific needs and goals.
Additionally, my portfolio includes university projects that highlight my ability to design spaces that promote learning, collaboration, and research. Whether it's a modern library, a cutting-edge laboratory, or a flexible classroom space, I understand the importance of creating environments that foster creativity and academic excellence.
Overall, my portfolio reflects my passion for designing functional, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing buildings that enhance the communities they serve. I look forward to sharing my work with you and demonstrating how I can help bring your architectural vision to life.

The school features a central core, technical learning spaces for various subjects, an auditorium, gym, media center, and administrative areas.

Burdick Hall Rec Center
Towson University's Burdick Hall underwent a major expansion over three levels to transform it into a modern facility that encourages student interaction and fosters a sense of community. Prior to the expansion, the University worked with GWWO to develop the program for the facility with major goals such as creating an identity for Campus Recreation Services, enhancing architectural character, maximizing natural light and views, promoting campus connectivity, and integrating sustainable features. The addition faces south with an east-west orientation to maximize exposure for daylighting and views. Various recreation program spaces are located along the south side to allow students to view activities within the building from the pedestrian walk beyond. The exterior glazing, windows, and balconies were coordinated to maximize views and natural daylighting.
