Geometry that answers to structure, environment, and how it gets built.
I build parametric models that stay tied to performance — structural, environmental, and fabrication — so a design change propagates instead of starting a rebuild.
Four years across facade design-to-fabrication in New York, gridshell optimisation research, and BIM delivery on airport- and stadium-scale programmes.

Selected work
Charlotte Main Library — Parametric Facade (Design to Fabrication)
Computational Designer · 2022–2023
Parametric facade design-to-fabrication for the Charlotte Main Library, USA: mullions, stack joints, transoms, glass and metal panels, and anchors—driven in Grasshopper with Paneling Tools, Elefront, and custom C# for grouping and fabrication logic.

Treehouse Hotel — Facade Panel & Screen Automation
Computational Designer — Facade Automation · 2022–2023
Parametric facade automation for the Treehouse Hotel in California: an Excel-matrix-driven Grasshopper workflow that models multi-colour, multi-length aluminium profile screens, groups them by type, and pushes the geometry to Revit via Rhino.Inside.Revit.
