As new platforms like the B-21 Raider and F-47 integrate into the Air Force Weapons School curriculum, a new campus becomes essential. The school's "Family of Systems" methodology emphasizes integration and collaboration across WICs (Weapons Instructor Courses) which shaped the campus organization and flow.

SCIFs (Secure Compartmented Information Facilities) where students spend most of their time are typically low-quality, windowless spaces. This design counters that by introducing centrally located gathering spaces with atriums that bring natural light and community focus into the building. Bridges connecting across buildings unite the campus while reinforcing the Family of Systems philosophy, creating shared moments of collaboration within secure constraints.

Role: Led campus layout, building design, and overall vision. Developed the 3D Revit model and created all architectural visualizations and graphics.

Zerolux is a study in dualism: the total absence of light (Zero) versus the pure emission of it (Lux). Designed for the high-contrast environment of Miami, the structure functions as a "Shadow Monolith" during the blazing tropical day, absorbing glare with matte surfaces, and transforms into an illuminated construct at night. It is not just a home; it is a habitable sculpture defined by the manipulation of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Role: Design and Visualization

Albuquerque's Metropolitan Redevelopment Agency held a competition for multifamily housing designed to activate Yale Boulevard and strengthen the surrounding neighborhood. Our proposal centered on a mixed-use approach: a public food court and gathering space accessible to both residents and the community, with a sculptural central staircase serving as the visual and spatial anchor connecting living spaces.

The program includes studio units for students and two-bedroom apartments for families, creating economic diversity within the development. The cascading massing responds to site constraints while creating dynamic facades and maximized outdoor spaces.

Role: I was responsible for leading the design effort of this RFP with the developer. I worked with an architect to develop the overall model, layouts, and produced all 3D renders.

After a remodel of the Albuquerque International Sunport, the city hosted a public art competition for a prominent connection point in the airport. I joined a team of architects to propose a large scale suspended fiber optic sculpture.

In our piece, we wanted to portray the Albuquerque sky which is not just a backdrop, but a protagonist in our daily lives. It's not static, but dynamic and ever-changing. Itinerant Cloudscapes is an artwork that prompts us with environmental cues and information about our travels through the air. The colors and tickers that run through the sculpture respond to real time data-feeds of weather patterns and flight trackers.

Role: I was a key member of the project team, responsible for crafting the form of the sculpture, visualizing the project, and presenting live to the public art committee.

Desert Bloom Pre-School lies within prominent farming territory in the Rio Grande Valley with the school's shape drawing inspiration from irrigation ponds. The building material of the school utilizes cutting edge technology to reimagine adobe walls, a primitive method of architecture in the desert, characterized by rounded corners and earth tones. 3-D Printers are used to shape the mud into the curvilinear pond-like walls, creating a sense of awe and wonder as you look up at the building against the New Mexican sky.

Students at Desert Bloom are immersed in deep New Mexican traditions such as chile roasting, pottery, dance, weaving, painting, folktales, in addition to the primary tenets of pre-school education.

Role: Individual competition entry, responsible for entirety of project.

The USAF Weapons School is the Air Force's version of Top Gun, where they train the most elite combat fighter pilots, along with cyber, space and intel operators. As they face a change in the future of warfare, the Weapons School needs a place where they can optimize human performance with a data driven approach, and drive a more unified culture across squadrons that encourages worthiness as part of a collaborative team and sacrificing individual heroism, giving the name ALTR.

Role: I was the lead designer for this project, which involved giving presentations and facilitating discussions between Air Force operators, branding and marketing consultants, human performance and exercise consultants, and incorporating many forces into a cohesive design. All drawings and renderings in this portfolio were produced by me.

Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Complex is a highly secure bunker from the Cold War era that is buried underneath 2,000 ft. of granite near Colorado Springs, CO. It is responsible for missile and aerospace warning, space surveillance and domain awareness, air sovereignty and homeland security. I am lead designer for a remodel of "The Granite Inn", Cheyenne Mountain's Dining Room.

The space is organized into two large seating pods that can be closed and reconfigured as necessary for meetings. The aesthetic juxtaposes strict order via grids and a panelized wall system, with a futuristic illuminated LED ceiling evoking outer space. A living wall provides therapeutic relief for staff that spend long hours in a harsh underground environment.

Role: I was responsible for the vision and aesthetic of this project, beginning with the concept renderings shown below. I am currently leading this project through the design process with the government.

The affordable housing crisis in Albuquerque leaves roughly 5,600 people homeless annually. The problem extends beyond cost; drug addiction, mental health, and lack of support systems complicate traditional housing solutions. Chama Housing addresses this through a "meet people where they are" philosophy.

The cottage-style development prioritizes community over institutional aesthetics, with shared outdoor spaces, on-site case management, and native plantings that provide security and dignity without the clinical feel typical of low-income housing. Pitched butterfly roofs reduce institutional appearance while managing desert rainfall. Native landscaping screens the community while maintaining safety sightlines.

Role: Led design direction on key architectural moves (including the butterfly roof strategy) and created all visualization and 3D renderings.

Inspiration struck during a Los Angeles beach trip: many coastal lots had underutilized backyards with untapped ocean views. This personal exploration design responds to that constraint; maximizing sightlines and living space on a compact site. A second-story living pavilion with extensive glazing captures views and light, while a first-floor bedroom provides privacy behind the perimeter walls.

Role: Full design and documentation. Created as a speculative residential design exploring compact coastal living.

What if, rather than being seen as an invasive, wasteful, and exploitative process, the construction of a building could be viewed as a regenerative contribution to an environment's health and wellbeing? What if the production of human spaces could be coupled with the production of new habitats, restored environments, and biotic diversity?

Mycrohome is a digestible and regenerative space concept utilizing mycelium formed prefabricated building components (roof / walls / furnishings / etc.) as the primary ingredient for a new paradigm of building with nature, where a network of Forest Department living spaces along a polluted watershed can become an extension of environmental stewardship.

Role: I was responsible for managing a team of 6 members and integrating all content into the final deliverables. I played a key role in the concept development and was responsible for all 3D modeling, and the interior render.

Historic Route 66 is known for its car culture, vibrant colors, and mid century Modernism. After a drunk driver made the news for driving through the Rodeway Inn's canopy, the owner reached out to me for a new design concept. Playing off of the previous incident, a new sloped planter in safety yellow creates visual impact and fortifies the new canopy design. An array of ornamented blue columns spill in to the planter and a framed opening engages pedestrians along Route 66.

Role: With the help of an architect colleague, I led this project from initial engagement to its current state under construction.

When cannabis became legal in Albuquerque, it seemed like just days before every strip mall and street corner had a dispensary. When the Oregon based company Top-Crop was looking to expand their operations to Albuquerque, the challenge became to provide a unique experience that differentiated themselves in a highly competitive market. They chose this opportunity to create a spinoff store called DRK MTR.

Role: I was responsible for winning the project for Studio Beccone and managing the relationship and communication between the GC and our design team. I worked with the project architect to develop the design all the way through construction documents.
