The absurdity of mowing an endless lawn made me a designer. 

Growing up in suburban America, I spent countless hours tending a vast patch of grass, a repetitive, isolating task that tuned me into the choreography of labor and the quiet intelligence of effort.

I’m now a licensed architect and software developer, working to solve problems of geometry, fabrication, and labor. My tools translate complex design intent into executable instructions for humans, machines, or something in between.
