He worked as a designer at EHHD Architecture involved in technical aquarium projects, and then saw the value of the integration of in studio fabrication and design while at Lundberg Design. He worked closely with architect Craig Steely during Craig’s early stages of his career, gleaning further insight into modernist ideas and simplifying design and program. Continuing his exploration of graphics, imagery, and technology in the design process, he consulted for renowned photographers Doug Menuez and Michele Clement, guiding them as they moved into the digital age and developed their digital processes.
