About

Hello. I live in New York and work at The Living. I hold a graduate degree from Columbia University's GSAPP and an undergraduate architecture degree from the University of Texas at Austin. I have more than seven years of professional experience at noted architecture firms, including New York-based Rogers Marvel Architects and SOM. I also tackle freelance graphic and photography work with my partner in crime, the multi-talented Jackie Caradonio at Lion in Oil. In addition, I teach a course, Hacking the Urban Experience, at Columbia. View my CV here: CV(html). Thanks and have a nice day.

max renderings

ultra05

 

Whenever you have a computer course at a university, there’s always a struggle to make it more than just about being a software jockey. The ultrareal course did a good job straddling the line of teaching us to use the program, 3ds max, but also thinking about different techniques of representation. I used my studio project from the summer as a testing base, both because I wanted some new images and it was convenient.

Almost lasted a year. I hope to start updating this site more regularly as I gear up for the inevitable job search and rapidly approaching graduation.

Helvetica On Fire

helvetica

I have a love / hate relationship with Helvetica. If I knew anything about fonts, I probably wouldn’t use it so much. And while it’s not Norm’s or Lacma, after watching the documentary there is no doubt that helvetica must burn!

Also seen in my freelance work blog at lioninoil.net.

Undergraduate Architecture Portfolio

portfolio1

GracefulSpoon Version1.0 was mainly a static repository for my undergraduate portfolio and eventually led to this printed version. It’s funny to look back on something that became such a major time investment, something that is supposed to sum up all my design sensibilities, and even, in no small measure, played a major role in determining the outcome of my immediate future. And then, after months of anticipation, the portfolio fulfills its purpose – successfully! – and is no longer relevant. So, in lieu of a fiery burial at sea, I hope a modest blog post isn’t too anticlimactic.

By popular demand, I added a link to lulu if you’d like to order a high-quality, printed version.
