Martin. 23 years, a Canadian citizen who lived my childhood in Vancouver, British Columbia, and most of my adult life in Los Angeles, California.
MBTI Personality profile: INTP
As a recent graduate Bachelor of Architecture from Cal Poly Pomona, I am attempting to take my first enthusiastic steps into the vast world of Design as a young professional. Though I studied Architecture and Buildings, my interest in Design has expanded significantly to incorporate Engineering, Product Design, Transportation design, Game Design, and many types of Architecture (Large and small). I am looking to gain valuable work experience, to build my skills as a young designer and advocate of technology and aesthetics in my work. I have worked as an Intern in a corporate architectural firm and am currently fostering my interest in Space Design working with NASA at JPL designing Space Craft Interior concepts.
I am fascinated with the speed, creativity and language that Industrial and Transportation Designers show, and plan on perusing a Masters in Transportation Design eventually - and possibly Engineering someday.
Strong Interests:
the Edge of human habitability
Space Architecture
Extreme Environment Architecture - Arctic
Sustainability - Systems Aesthetic Integration
Modular Systems
Pre-Fabrication
Deploy-able Architecture / Robotic Assembly
Compact / Mobile Architecture
Inspirations: I often find a lot of my inspiration in terms of Language, Aesthetics, Form, Systems and Concepts from fictional universes in:
Sci-Fi (Starships, Buildings, Vehicles, Technology, Clothing)
Video Game Design (concept art and 3d model designs)
Transportation design (Cars, Yachts, Ships, Aircraft, Motorcycles, Conceptual Vehichles, Interiors, etc.)
