ARCHITECTURAL MODELS
​
I spent a couple of years at an architecture firm in Connecticut where I designed and built models. Some of these models were "in process" working models for the architects but others were presentation models that were used for promotional purposes. The first 3 images featured here is a 4' x 8' model of Quinnipiac University expansion project. The foam base was routed on a CNC. The buildings were all drawn in CAD and then 3D printed and painted and assembled.
The other models were laser cut acrylic and paper that were then fabricated and painted.
OFFICE FURNITURE
​
I worked for Helikon, a furniture company in Connecticut, where I designed hi-end corporate office furniture. Some of our clients included McGraw-Hill and Pfizer
DESIGN OUTREACH
​
My wife and I homeschool our children and we are involved in a local homeschool group. I have taught a couple of design & engineering classes with them. This is a record of a four week workshop based on the Engineering to the Rescue course developed by the Museum of Science in Boston. The kids were led through the development of designing a disaster relief package and how it can safely reach the people in need. Through the testing of various materials and documenting what they learned they worked their way up to a final concept which was drop tested to see how it performed.
WOVEN CORIAN
​
I attended the Rhode island School of Design from 1997-1999 where I earned my Master Degree in Furniture Design. My focus was on creating something new and unusual with a new and unusual material. I took a hi-tech material, Corian, and processed it using a low-tech technique, weaving. With this new approach I was able to make lamps, chairs, tables and other vessels.
