ARCHITECTURE STUDENT & INTERN

Hi, I'm Ely Worms.

Currently exploring the intersection of structural logic and human-centric design. Seeking new opportunities to build and learn.

Philosophy

As a soon-to-graduate architecture student at the University of Arizona, I believe good design starts with listening  to the site, the climate, and the people who will inhabit the space. Through my studies and internship experience, I've developed an approach that balances form with practical purpose, creating spaces that are honest in their materials, responsive to their environment, and meaningful to those who use them. For me, beauty and function are inseparable. A well-designed space should feel natural to move through, built to last, and grounded in its place.

Desert-Rooted Perspective

Growing up in the Sonoran Desert gave me a deep appreciation for how architecture can work with harsh climates rather than against them, shaping spaces that feel at home in their landscape.

Function-Forward Design

I approach every project with the belief that a beautiful space must also work, for the people in it, the climate around it, and the purpose it serves.

Nature as a Blueprint

The natural world is full of practical design solutions that have been refined over thousands of years. I draw from those patterns and principles to inform spaces that feel intuitive, grounded, and connected to their surroundings.
