Describe Your Design Style: Community-oriented

What Inspires You? 
The constant push to strive for change and equality for better futures inspires me. My design process and way of thinking stem from those before me who thought, designed, and protested for better futures for all. It is through past activists and design thinkers that inspire me to create with better intentions and empathy. The way spaces and buildings can be filled with joy and cultivate community fuels my aspirations to use architecture and design to further representation and inclusion.
What’s Your Student Superpower? 
Humor. In a world that can be bleak, and in an industry/academic setting that can be stressful, difficult, and tiring, it is crucial to allow humor to come in and influence the way I think, design, and create. I always strive to find the funny and playful moments in anything, as it allows me to stay on track and persevere. Humor and fun are essential to provide balance to our work!
