It was a certainly good times working with Professor Joe Vidich as teaching assistant for the courses Intro to Digital Fabrication and Advanced Fabrication: Component Systems. In component systems we only had five students, and they were pushed really hard, but there was some great work. I appreciated the sensibility that yes, we would make some cool stuff with the machines, but we also would test it for performance using structural engineering analysis, and explore material properties using Solidworks parametric models. It was an ambitious agenda for a short course, and the waterjet was un-operational pretty much the whole time, but the students came through with some sweet projects using the laser cut plexi and the heat bender, the metal mill as well as the 3d printer.

About
Hello. I live in New York and work at SOM. In May I earned a graduate degree from Columbia University's GSAPP. Prior to that, I spent four years working with Randall Stout Architects in Los Angeles after graduating from the School of Architecture at the University of Texas in Austin. I also tackle freelance graphic and photography work with my partner in crime, the multi-talented Jackie Caradonio at Lion in Oil.
