Don’t be too precious with your ideas; let them grow

Featured Projects

A community space focused on providing an urban escape, playing with the concept of integrating a pocket of nature back into the industrialized streets of The Junction Triangle in Toronto, Canada.

Overlooking the Calgary neighbourhood landscape, these platforms provide a moment of pause as people ascend the steps to discover a new view right outside their backyards.

Located in Riverbluffs Park, Cambridge, this building houses comforting cuisines wrapped in nostalgia and focusing on the clamour of life

I’m currently a second-year architecture student pursuing a Bachelor’s of Architectural Studies at the University of Waterloo.

The works you’ll find within this portfolio all share a common goal: to make the design fun and energetic.

I would describe myself as a highly energetic designer who doesn’t just think outside the box — I reshape it entirely. For me, design should always be enjoyable, a principle I carry into every idea and brainstorming phase. In my first year of architecture, I’ve developed skills in 3D modelling, digital visualization, hand-drafting, sketching, and physical model making. These tools help me explore bold ideas, share them clearly, and keep the process playful — just as design should be.

Hey there, I’m Maggie!
