Here are some of the elements that feed my philosophy. I learn from experience, innovation, and the ridiculous. I currently attend Drexel University, Philadelphia, where my academic studies focus on Architecture and the Social Study of Science and Technology. I donate my time and services to a number of organizations focused on the promotion of both community driven design and ecological design. Feel free to keep in touch with Twitter or Linkedin. You might also like to browse some of the links, articles, or bits I reference. Presentations and Tunes are always fun too. var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
