hello!
i'm kaitlyn. thanks for stopping by my portfolio.
i’m a student at the intersection of analysis, planning, and design. my interests lie in the beautiful and dynamic built environment we live in and the various—socio-political-economic-environmental-aesthetic—dimensions that collectively undergird the urban fabric as we see it.
this portfolio is organized as follows:
-
studios are standalone design projects
-
studies examine existing environments
-
scribbles catch all relevant research and written work
