gday

I'm an Aussie in the US, previously a product designer at Apple, then a mechatronics and sculpture graduate student at Stanford. At MIT majored in mechanical design and physics, and minored in architecture.

My work explores the digital and physical worlds through interactive sculptures. My background as a mechanical engineer and physicist allows me to draw upon an understanding of physical space and phenomena to ground experiences of wonder and ephemerality in physical and mechanical relationships.

I love all types of design, I build robots, I make art, I play tennis, I speak Italian, and try to combine all of things in my work.

I live in New Mexico, the land of enchantment.
