I have 7 years of wide-ranging US & international experience. I've worked mostly educational and commercial projects, at varying scales, using varying materials, in both imperial and metric units.
I'm interested in sustainable design, digital fabrication and interactive architecture.
I'm familiar with US codes and standards and have experience with all phases of the planning and building process, from concept through to construction administration.
I'm open to new part or full-time opportunities on a contract or permanent basis.
