A creative visionary and strategic leader who transforms design thinking into measurable impact while building inclusive communities through art and innovation.

Jack is a third-year student at Rice University pursuing dual Bachelor's degrees in Architecture (B.ARCH) and Managerial Economics and Organizational Science (B.A.), where he has established himself as an exceptional leader at the intersection of design, business, and social impact. As Team Lead at Rice Design Consulting, he guided a student team through a comprehensive rebranding initiative for The Liu Idea Lab, coordinating client meetings, leading design critique sessions, and synthesizing over 3,000 user feedback points into actionable insights that resulted in a 40% increase in web traffic and improved event sign-up rates, showcasing his ability to mentor peers through design thinking and project execution.

His entrepreneurial spirit and social consciousness are exemplified through his co-founding of a student-led charity to support healthcare workers during the pandemic. Within just six months, he built and mobilized a team of 30+ students, hosted nine art auctions, and raised $3,100 for Peace Arch Hospital, demonstrating his exceptional skills in outreach, event planning, and creative fundraising while developing leadership capabilities in delivering meaningful social impact.

His community-building expertise is demonstrated through his founding and rapid scaling of the Elgin Park Secondary Art Club, which he grew to over 60 members within three months, making it the school's largest student-led club. He organized 12 multimedia art projects and used proceeds to fund art supplies for underserved youth, showcasing his ability to build inclusive communities, guide peers through creative projects, and translate passion into sustainable action.

His mentoring experience spans his role as Lead Tutor with the Peer Leadership & Academic Council, where he provided crucial support to international students and incoming 8th graders, and his current informal mentoring of younger students at Rice Architecture Society, offering guidance on studio work, portfolio development, and time management. Jack is the perfect mentor for students interested in design thinking, social entrepreneurship, creative project management, community building, and learning how to create meaningful impact through art and innovation.
