San Francisco Bay Area

I worked for Logitech in the Material Futures R&D team investigating the possibilities of 3Dprint technology with recycleable plastics, glass, and alternate materials for future production lines. In coordination with the fabrication lab in the Bay Area, I have been using Grasshopper to computationally prototype and design collaborative workflows for different objects and materials exploring a range of parameters including lenticular, illusory, and optical materials. I also have been working with ateam of designers, technicians, and software engineers on product explorations in the near future dealing with augmented reality and enhancing personal connection between users.

Brooklyn, New York, United States

Stuttgart Area, Germany

While working as a Junior Architect at the international firm Behnisch Architekten in Stuttgart, Germany, I worked on multiple projects of various scales including the design development phase of a community school in Stuttgart and the winning competition entry for a new commercial district in Vienna. One year of my time in the office was spent working in a ~8 person team progressing a large swimming complex in Konstanz (Germany) from schematic design through construction documents and now into realization. Within the team, I primarily worked on the >3000m2 roof structure and ceiling, using 3D parametric modeling (Rhinoceros+Grasshopper), and consulting with various engineers on every aspect from lighting and drainage to the steel truss network. The project will complete in 2021.

Las Vegas, Nevada Area

Summer architectural intern at the Gensler Las Vegas office.

Eugene, Oregon

As the paid Creative Director for the annual student run conference, H.O.P.E.S, I created an evocative aesthetic to represent the conferences’ theme of sustainability and the possibilities of 21st century systems as a catalyst for a change in collective behavior. This included logo, poster, website, and other forms of digital and physical media.

Greater Seattle Area

I organized and facilitated activities for 10-15 year olds at YMCA Camp Orkila on the Puget Sound, Washington.

South Africa & Argentina

I volunteered in Cape Town, South Africa and Cordoba, Argentina. I was placed in low income areas with a local family and I worked with the company and a few other volunteers on bettering the community. In South Africa I helped construct a simple library in a township and in Argentina I assisted teaching English and helping within a children's shelter.
