About

I am a computational designer bridging architecture and coding, practicing at the intersection of architectural design and digital fabrication. I lead BIM frameworks and multidisciplinary teams to deliver projects from brief to completion, keeping complexity manageable and data flowing between stakeholders. I enjoy turning ideas into tangible outcomes through a structured, collaborative approach and a relentless curiosity for new tools and workflows.

I thrive in fast-paced environments, adapt quickly to new contexts, and leverage a wide toolkit (Archicad, Revit, Blender, Rhino, Unreal Engine, Grasshopper, Excel) to visualize, iterate, and optimize designs for performance, aesthetics, and construction practicality.
