I am a recent graduate of Penn Design’s Masters of Architecture program. I am seeking a position with a design oriented firm that will allow me to expand upon my knowledge of contemporary design methodologies and computational tools, and allow me to contribute my skills to real world projects with a high level of rigor and craft.

Over the past three years as a student at the University of Pennsylvania I have explored my interests in computational design tools and digital fabrication techniques. Working with a variety of tools I experimented with emergence and algorithmic design to develop complex patterns and geometries as well as intelligent interactions between form and structure. These explorations have brought me a wide range of experiences in digital modeling and presenting complex projects clearly using renderings, models and drawings. I also worked in the school’s fabrication lab operating the laser cutters and wood working tools for other students as well as using them for my own work.

In addition to studying architecture in graduate school, I studied architecture at the undergraduate level and have worked with a variety of fi rms. As a result I have a very diverse skill set which integrates traditional design tools like hand sketching and model making with contemporary digital tools including Rhino, Sketch Up and many others. My design philosophy is built around always using the right tool for the job, often going back and forth between sketching, scripting, model making and digital analysis throughout the design process. I have used all these tools both in school and in practice, and have a great appreciation for what each of them offer the design process.
