She has participated in the 16th International Architecture Exhibition of the 2018 Venice Biennale Freespace, with the ‘Stand Ground’ installation, together with her book titled, HU: Common Spaces in Housing Units.

The Michael Owen Jones Lectureship is an opportunity for young design professionals to bring their enthusiasm and talent to the School of Architecture with a lecture in the fall or spring semester. The family of Michael Owen Jones, who graduated from the School of Architecture in 1985, funds the lectureship.
