Integrated ARCH 4956/4056 (Design IX/X: Options Studios) and a Construction Science seminar. Extended daily contact hours (9:00 am–5:00 pm, M/W/F) provide immersive, coordinated studio + technical instruction. Emphasis on collaboration, hands-on construction and prototyping, professional project and site management workflows.
Upper undergraduate design-build studios focused on complex design problems, integrating conceptual rigor, site engagement, client dialogue, and material/fabrication strategies. Students work through iterative design processes, interdisciplinary coordination, and prototyping leading toward resilient, community-based projects.
Independent undergraduate and graduate studies. Mentored individualized research and creative projects. Topics ranged from digital fabrication and entrepreneurship to speculative media, enabling students to pursue focused inquiry with defined outcomes.
Foundational studio integrating precedent analysis, human scale, accessibility, cultural and environmental context, and spatial development. Students learned to communicate design ideas through analog and digital media. (Included non-human-centric studios in entomological and equestrian design, cultivating empathy for biodiversity and alternative scales of building).
Intermediate studio emphasizing tectonics, material systems, structural logic, and fabrication. Students are engaged in site conditions and topography, prototyping, and hybrid digital/analog making to connect design intent with material and structural logic.
Graduate-level design studio integrating design theory, methods, and research-through-making. Emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration, and speculative and built outcomes.
Introductory methods course focused on ordering systems, material exploration, and the fundamentals of construction. Students learned 3D-modeling, drafting conventions, assemblies, craft, and tectonic logic through full-scale project research.
Second-semester design studios introducing form, light, space, and context. Students advanced drawing, physical and physical and digital modeling, and design process skills while exploring site and environmental conditions.
First-semester studio introducing design thinking, spatial exploration, and the fundamentals of visual communication. Emphasis on creativity, iteration, and establishing a design mindset through drawing and models.
Graduate-level studio exploring VR/AR as design tools. Students developed immersive environments, interactive storytelling, and augmented field/site experiences using Unity and other platforms.
Graduate-level studio using game engines for design visualization, interactive installations, and simulations. Emphasis on real-time rendering, interactivity, and spatial storytelling.
Graduate-level studio where students produced self-directed interactive projects combining code, visuals, sensors, and spatial concept. Grounded in theory, critique, and experimentation.
Undergraduate foundations course introducing digital representation, making, and creative practice methods across 2D and 3D. Students built fluency in software, prototyping, and design workflows.
University of Oklahoma, Interior Design
Undergraduate course introducing CAD, modeling, and rendering tools. Emphasis on visual communication, spatial problem solving, and integrating digital workflows into interior design practice.
Graduate course covering advanced CAD, 3D modeling, rendering, and visualization techniques. Focused on preparing students for professional practice using digital tools in interior environments.

University of Oklahoma
Engaged in advancing pedagogical innovation and long-range planning, with current focus on evaluating opportunities for expanding online teaching initiatives to broaden access and impact.
Exploratory committee to formalize future design-build initiatives, collaborative academic opportunities, pedagogical structure, and program growth.
Established and lead the American School Design+Build initiative, developing and directing a comprehensive, year-long studio curriculum that bridges design, technology, fabrication, and construction through real-world community partnerships. Designed the pedagogical framework, project delivery structure, and assessment model that guide students from schematic design through documentation, permitting, and full-scale construction. The curriculum emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration with Construction Science, hands-on material exploration, and public engagement, positioning design-build as both a mode of professional practice and a form of creative research with tangible civic impact.
Coordinated integrated Architecture and Construction Science instruction, actual schedule 9:00 am to 4:50 pm, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, beyond assigned 1:00 to 4:50 pm.
Established and lead the Gibbs Collective Creating Seminar, a cross-disciplinary initiative uniting students and faculty across the Gibbs College of Architecture in collaborative research-through-making. Developed a curriculum centered on experimental fabrication, design-build methodologies, industrial design, and public engagement as vehicles for creative scholarship. The seminar operates as a platform where students prototype, fabricate, and exhibit work addressing material innovation, social agency, technology, and creative impact. The seminar is both a pedagogical laboratory and a model for engaged, research-driven design education.
Provide academic and pedagogical leadership for the American School Design Build 5th-year studio sequence, overseeing faculty coordination, curriculum development, and assessment of advanced design-build outcomes. Guide integration between design, technology, and construction coursework, ensuring alignment with the college’s mission of experiential, community-engaged education. Facilitate cross-disciplinary collaboration with Construction Science and community partners, advancing design-build as both professional preparation and creative research.
Year-round leadership of branding, website development and maintenance, social media strategy, external communications, lead generation, and project acquisition, beyond the standard nine-month faculty appointment. www.americanschooldesignbuild.com
Led integration of a semester-long non-human-centric architecture initiative. Guided entomological and equestrian studios that cultivated empathy for biodiversity and introduced alternative scales of building. The initiative culminated in the exhibition “Tectonic Entomological Investigations”.
Advised and supported the OU AIAS chapter in leadership development, professional outreach, and organizational growth. Coordinated mentorship programs, portfolio and licensure workshops, and collaborative events.
Contributed to the development, review, and assessment of the undergraduate architecture curriculum, with emphasis on strengthening foundational design pedagogy, vertical studio integration, and alignment between representational, material, and theoretical coursework. Collaborated with faculty to evaluate learning outcomes, refine project sequences, and introduce emerging technologies and interdisciplinary approaches to second-year design education.
