exploring the relationship between physical and digital

> my early education in architectural design and experience in digital product design inform my systems-oriented approach to creating spaces that integrate principles, workflows and perspectives from both disciplines

> I believe physical buildings and digital platforms are information ecosystems that require architectural thinking and programming to design novel experiences

> designing a library is my dream project; where information architecture is formalized into physical architecture

  • Pratt Institute, Spring 2024

    The presentation focused on my career evolution from architecture to digital product design. One primary topic is my design process for digital systems and products; which is informed by the architectural design process. Selected projects were:

    Arqhive - visualizing 3D spaces online

    Climate Science - online educational spaces

    National Gallery of Art - online spaces and physical gallery

    Introduction to Architectural Design, Columbia University

  • Pratt Institute, Spring 2024

    The presentation focused on experiments with Relume.ai as a generative design tool. The goal was to test a prompt-to-website generator and compare the results to student projects and learn the advantages and disadvantages of using AI during the design process.

  • Pratt Institute, Spring 2024, User Experience Pratt Association

    The workshop focused on developing entrepreneurial strategies. The foundation of the workshop was reframing entrepreneurship as proactive creation with clear value for a community of people. A seondary topic was design confidence and developing a vision as a young creative. Students created ecosystem maps that highlight their interests, skills, networks and passion areas of work to highlight potential workflows after graduation.
