Colton is an architecture student at Portland State University.

I’m in my first Year of architecture school. I’m a part of the LGBTQ community. I have an innate curiosity for buildings with structure and function. I want to share my experiences with nature and the value I hold in natural elements and how we are able to interact with our natural world. I also value diversity and availability of design for minorities.

Architecture is a creative outlet, for me it is for the benefit of others. I hope to share the importance of design through my work. The stories I can tell through artistic perspective and share the importance of green infrastructure and design.

Priorities in design: Accessibility, Environmental Impact, Creative influence, Cost Effectiveness.
