About I am pursuing my Bachelor’s of Environmental Design in Sustainable Planning and Urban Design from the University of Colorado Boulder. My interest in design stems from believing in its role to mitigate the climate crisis through sustainability and resilience. I’m especially interested in benefitting underserved communities through sustainable urban infrastructure. I grew up in a family of artists, so I champion public art and the aesthetics of good urban design and architecture.

CONTENTS La Red 4 Santo Domingo Savio

LA RED

This project contributed to an ongoing effort by the Urban Renewal Authority in Fort Collins, Colorado to activate the zone of 1636 N. College Ave., a former Albertson’s grocery store. We envisioned a mixed-use development rooted in connection to the Hispanic community, built at a human scale. Using Sketchup and Adobe Suite, we proposed a city block centered on a green pathway and a low-speed woonerf. We also concepted housing and public spaces at the block’s center and a transit hub next to its major highway.

SANTO DOMINGO SAVIO

This was a project between students from University of Colorado Boulder and Universidad San Buenaventura in Medellín, Colombia. Santo Domingo Savio is an informal settlement in the northeast quadrant of Medellín with an active community association and a tight-knit bond between neighbors. I was part of the effort to repaint a memorial mural honoring the neighborhood’s victims of armed violence during the 1990s. The process involved spray painting lasercut names, adorning the long list with flowers and butterflies to represent the community’s resilience. We finished off by turning the alley into a full plaza.

CHERRY CREEK CONNECT

This collaborative project retrofitted the Denver neighborhood of Cherry Creek with more multimodal transportation infrastructure and human-scale commercial and social interventions. These included parklets outside the Cherry Creek Shopping Center and energyefficient building treatments to complement a greater housing diversity. I provided neighborhood- and intervention-scale SketchUp models and laid out the hypothetical timeline phasing for the full proposal in the embedded ArcGIS Storymap.
