I grew up in Santa Monica until I left to attend The Cooper Union school of Art , I then moved to Cambridge as a graduate student of architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Now I live and work in Tokyo at KMDW . In the past I have been commissioned by clients such as Desser Sports Media / Delphi Search and Consulting / By Hand Clothing / Cantora Records . I also have experience working in offices such as Studio Terpeluk , and Blacksquare and teaching at the Cooper Union Saturday Program as well as the MIT Undergraduate Architecture Department .
