My field is public space. The tools with which I work are architecture, installation design, digital interface design, graphics, and furniture design.
For the last few years, I've been applying my architectural training [M.Arch / M.Urban Design, Kent State University, 2010] to freelance work, competitions, and acting as a one-man design department and project manager for a mobile software development firm in Cleveland. This breadth of experience and self-management has given me a valuable tool set that I'm looking to bring to bear on full-time architectural work.
I'm at my best with a short deadline, a tough problem and plenty of coffee. Let's talk.
