I am a graduate of Harvard University's Graduate School of Design, where I pursued a Master's Degree in Architecture specializing in new materials investigation and computatinal modeling. The work I undertook while at graduate school consisted of exploring fabrication processes such as robotically wound carbon and glass fiber structures, optimizing reinforcement for lightweight structures, and programming 3D printed rigid and soft multi-material structures.
Throughout my career, I have worked as an architect intern as well as fashion and product designer in New York City. My experience on various projects ranges from proposal presentations, CD sets and spatial interior/ exterior renderings for luxury residential architecture studios such as Carlos Zapata Studio. Other positions I’ve held as a 3D modeler and designer consultant have required me to quickly generate and efficiently prototype wearables for product, jewelry and fashion designers such as Lee Savage and ThreeAsfour- by creating proper 3D print files, creating photorealistic renderings, and completing spec sheets for production.
