About
I graduated from the University of Houston’s Hines College of Architecture and Design in 2024 with a Bachelor of Architecture. Since then I have worked in commercial signage and architectural products — custom perforated panel systems, facades, exterior cladding — across the design, fabrication and installation pipeline, and led the effort to bring parametric and computational practice into that work.
Most of what I build is infrastructure for other people’s work: Grasshopper definitions and Python scripts that keep a model in step with a scope that keeps moving, plug-ins that standardise a process somebody was doing by hand, and reference documents that make any of it findable a year later. The three sites above are that same instinct applied to my own material.
Before that I spent three years as a staff photographer for the McGovern College of the Arts, covering performances, exhibitions and concerts, and edited UH: Close Up, an architecture and documentary photography page. Outside work I run, follow college football, and go birding — which is where the second project came from.
