About 

I am a designer with a background in digital fabrication. Throughout my architectural education I have worked with a hands on approach, which had started with model making and has developed into full scale applications, such as installations and design build projects. My experience in the fabrication lab and the wood shop has influenced me to explore and continue learning new methods of fabrication.
