02 / The approach
Different disciplines.
One connected approach.
Computational design
Turning complex geometry into clear, adaptable systems. Parametric modelling, environmental analysis, and design optimisation from first principles to fabrication.
- Rhino
- Grasshopper
- Design optimisation
BIM & digital delivery
Making information work as hard as the design. Coordinated models, purposeful automation, and interoperable workflows that help multidisciplinary teams build with clarity.
- BIM strategy
- Interoperability
- Automation
Software & research
Building the tools a project actually needs. Full-stack development and research initiatives including the Concept Analysis Tool, Daisychain, and immersive design environments.
- Python
- C#
- Full-stack development
03 / The person behind the work
A designer first.
Technology is the medium. Better design is the purpose.
My work moves between architecture, computation, and code. With over a decade of international experience, I bring a designer's curiosity and a developer's precision to the built environment. I believe the best tools amplify creativity, remove friction, and help people work better together.
