Rather than working within a ° narrow spectrum, I attempt to operate ° within a multidisciplinary platform. This ° production model enables me to employ a ° wide variety of tools from a diverse ° ° resource network. For each new challenge ° I aim to transform careful observations and ° research into built objects or environments ° that engage people in unexpected and ° meaningful ways. ° ° ° Past projects that I have been involved I with have relied heavily on digital modeling ° and fabrication techniques. However, I feel I it is important to maintain a hands on ° ° approach to utilize timeless techniques in ° the development and implementation of ° ideas. The examination of a project ° through computer modeling, physical ° models, and full scale mock-ups often ° ° leads to the discovery of new opportunities I that can exploit the physical, conceptual, I economic, and practical limitations of the ° project. ° ° I 1 believe that exploring the intersections of I art, architecture, and design can provide I exceptional experiences, social interaction ° and physical engagement. The most I rewarding element of my work is produc- I ° ing objects, environments, or atmospheres I that have positive impacts on their I surroundings and that embody a sense of ° quality, wonderment, joy, sensation, and ° surprise.
