Hi, I'm a Los Angeles-based, multi-disciplinary designer and educator interested in all forms and scales of design whether that be a product, a website or a building. I believe good design can improve our lives and interactions with each other. While I've largely done that through architecture, I've always been active in many forms of design including graphics and web development and have become increasingly interested in user experience design.
I've recently enjoyed employing my design and teaching skills as a mentor for my son's middle-school robotics team. We've designed and fabricated some pretty amazing mechanical elements for our competition robots.
Below are some highlights from my experience and interests. This website represents just a fraction of my work so please reach out if you'd like to know more or just want to chat.
