About 

As a Brooklyn-based designer, my practice has been to apply theoretical rigor to constructible form.  This approach to my work has led to professional experiences with both large teams and small entrepreneurial start-ups.

I am not intimidated by fussy clients, not by limited means.  These obstacles are problems that I believe can lead to better solutions in any situation.

Please contact me for an interview or to learn more about my work.
