Beginning in 2004, I’ve had professional experience in the fields of urbanism, design, architecture, and construction.  This includes a term as an Architectural Research Fellow with the nonprofit urban think tank Terreform ONE, researching, designing, and fabricating exhibition models and materials for the NYC Post Carbon City State project.  With Woolley Morris Architects, I worked directly with the firm’s Design Principal on numerous projects of varying types, including a golf resort master plan in Kunming, China, the NYS Office of Cultural Education’s Collections Processing and Storage Facility in Albany, and the St. John’s Hospital neighborhood rehabilitation effort in Syracuse.  With the concrete contractor Pacific Structures, I worked as an intern on the construction of a ten-acre, 1,500-unit mixed-use residential development in San Jose.  

I’ve been involved professionally in a diverse range of projects, across a wide range of scales and design disciplines: memorial artifacts, jewelry, everyday items, products, exhibitions and installations, gardens, housing (single-family, multi-family, and condominiums), senior living and assisted living facilities, dormitories, schools and state facilities, cultural spaces, cafés, auto dealerships, retail strips, master plans (residential, commercial, and academic), speculative urbanism, etc.  I’ve participated in all phases of the architectural design process — from pre-concept through construction administration and closeout — on tens of millions of dollars of projects.  

My particular areas of focus include: transhumanism and posthumanism, paper architecture, agricultural and food-related architecture, working class housing, exhibition and installation design, concrete construction, parametric design, digital fabrication, and handcraft.  My research is focused on novel means of anthropomorphic form-making, fabrication, and materiality, using fundamentally human tools, methods, and sources to explore, subvert, or dissolve the Enlightenment-era bifurcation between human and environment.
