3D Printing fueled the start of my designing and making passion. The ability to take an idea and rapidly convert it into something real is wondrous and something I have been working at for roughly seven years.

Computer aided design (CAD) is the bread and butter of my making process, and a skill I've been building up alongside my 3D printing knowledge. By far my favorite tool to use.
A quick render of a lamp shade prototype. (2022)
A skill I picked up one summer which built itself on top of what I love doing. My interest in it peaked when I figured out its ability to be used in tandem with 2D graphics. Try scanning these with Snapchat.
A sticker I converted into an AR experience. (2020)
A way to explain how everything functions in our reality. For this reason, physics has always been a passion of mine and a source of inspiration. It also requires a different mindset, one that approaches a problem inductively.
A p5.js coding project where I simulated particles under the effect of the law of universal gravitation. (2021)
Inspired by the works of Neri Oxman, I look to incorporate nature in the way I solved problems. Biology stands as one of the greatest sources for inspiration and solutions. While I am still looking to get my hands dirty with biohacking, I am fiddling with the algorithms that make up the natural world in my creations.
A experimentation with a reaction-diffusion pattern generator to define the surface of a solid. (2022)
You can't be called a mad scientist without being madly scientific. Taking things iteratively and consistently testing helps me push the envelope on what I thought was possible, and nothing gets me more passionate than redefining the possible. Below are some of my crazy experiments.
I challenged myself to create a wooden shoe using laser cut, living hinge patterns that were then steam bent on a shoe last. (2021)
