Resume
Portfolio

• Canal/Varick/Glade is a proposal for a medium-long term installation at LentSpace, located in lower Manhattan.  Think of it as an oasis of calm amidst a busy area of the city.

• OK is an experimental family of lighting designs which propose alternative standards for luxury lighting by cross-pollinating disparate design dialects.

• Open Table Tennis is a proposal for a two-part series of public ping pong tables.  Meant as a study in design for public space as well as an exercise in visualization techniques (rendering, compositing).

• An Are.na channel which I started as an archive of exceptional parks and public spaces, near and far.

• Open Auditorium is a second installation proposal for LentSpace.  A flexible installation defined by a series of modular, curvilinear aluminum benches.

• An ongoing study of transom/clerestory windows imagined through a series of interior and exterior renderings.

• Some Grasshopper sketches, for personal use and commission.

• A catalogue of wall works and sculptures created over the past 2 years using various experimental digital fabrication techniques.

• Para is a chair I designed and built in 2015

• Formalities is a summary of my findings while earning my degree at RISD.

• Link to my Behance profile, if you’re curious.

• A survey of bristle-bearing tools.  Resulted in a collection of my own designs, ranging from absurd to practical.  Part of my degree project.

• A collection of weights, intended to investigate ways in which weight manifests in functional objects across a range of categories.

• A series of wall-storage objects, and the first installment in my degree project.  The intent of the investigation was to uncover potential new typologies within the broad territory of wall storage.

• Sketches from current sketchbooks.  Updated periodically.
