Biography & Resume
I am an Architectural Designer, Artist, and Technician residing in the South Bay area around Cupertino. I have a highly diverse background in Art, Sculpture, 3D Digital design, and Rapid Prototyping, with an extensive and diverse skill set with no specific specialty. I work well alone or with others, in almost any setting and organizational structure.
With my Masters in Architecture in hand, my long term plan is to become a licensed Architect, and create great places.
