hello! 

i'm kaitlyn. thanks for stopping by my portfolio. 

unnamed (1).jpg

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
