About 

I am a recent graduate from the Harvard Graduate School of Design currently living in San Francisco. My thesis was the investigation of a new kinetic system for architecture to operate within and I have completed several kinetic pieces at full scale. I also enjoy coding, bouldering, hobby board games, and leather-working.
