I am a graduate of Columbia University GSAPP. My primary interest lies in the intersection of digital design and its fabrication using both long established techniques and newly emergent technologies.
During my time in school and continuing to the present I am constantly trying to seek out new learning opportunities outside my comfort zone. These pursuits have led to travel and research in Europe, Asia, and East Africa.They have also led me to widely different internships which tested my abilities in digital design and fabrication, traditional fabrication, web programming, and writing.
