I am an architectural researcher working at the intersection of digital fabrication, timber construction, and relational data systems. My work is grounded in architecture as a discipline with an ambition to utilize design intelligence, cultural materiality, and fabrication logic cooperatively from design-to-production. Through an iterative research-by-design approach and a transdisciplinary curiosity, I develop software, fabrication tools, workflows, and geometrically complex timber structures directed towards a post-digital architectural practice. Equating physical prototyping with computational thinking as indistinguishable instruments for my research.
