About 

Designer with an interest in sustainable/green design, technology, and a strong passion for 3D modeling & rendering. From model building to drafting, 3D to graphic design, CA to marketing; I've done it all.

Associate / Senior Designer at Hill|West Architects, LEED AP

My interest in architecture stems from my love of Lego since the age of 3, and a big thanks to my grandmother for encouraging me and lighting the way.

Awards 

IEvocative Luminance: The 2008 ESNY Student Lighting Competition, 2nd Place

Excerpt:

"Paul Stein took second prize for his entry For the Child Inside Us All. Using Lego building blocks, Stein created a Lego man holding block pieces in its left hand and an illuminated Lego-made lightbulb in its right hand. The bachelor of architecture student at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn illuminated his piece with a 30W compact fluorescent lamp encased in translucent Lego pieces. Stein received a $1,500 cash prize for his entry, which focused on the creative ideas of children and sought to remind viewers that you are never too old to think like a child."
