01 · Problem

A client in San Diego was planning a community center that would combine financial services, a cafe, a convenience store, and flexible community space. They needed a clear case for the program, site, and investment.

02 · Approach

I studied the trade area, including demographics, mobility patterns, and competing facilities. I paired that analysis with space-use scenarios and research into the architectural character of the region.

03 · Deliverables

I developed the full campus concept, architectural drawings, AI-enhanced interior and exterior views, and a presentation booklet the client could use with funders.
