My background in Biomedical Sciences and my interest in design lend to an insatiable curiosity in generative and algorithmic design. Often what interests and inttracts me to a design is the logic behind a work as much as the aesthetics. Architects such as Frei Otto who took advantage of tensile forces to form find 'novel' and efficient geometries and Engineering companies like ARUP who are able to find efficient and aesthetic stuctures through computational techniques contsantly amaze me.
Currently I work as a Rhino freelance modeller and teaching assistant. On top of this I have taken every opportunity to learn many of the many Rhino plugins, especially grasshopper.
At the start of 2017 I studied ‘Fab Academy – How to make just about anything’ to be able to produce the objects I created on a computer, in real life. The course focused on digital fabrication and electronics prototyping and production, but also included analogue production like molding and casting. Using Arduinos and ATtiny processors I could make different electronic systems. I designed, milled and soldered my own prototype circuit boards and I reached the point where I was able to build an Arduino from scratch and program it using the Arduino IDE. The course was held in a leading architecture school that explored new and emerging technologies. It was a very motivating environment and I am fascinated by the open community I was introduced to with industries ranging from fashion to biomedical science.
My initial studies in Biomedical science gave me an in depth understanding of the human body both at a macro and molecular level. It was fascinating to learn how the body works with mechanical actions in every cell and how order found from chaos by a complex network of feedback signals.
I believe my varied background gives me a unique insight to to the varied challenges my work now presents me, from working out algorithms in grasshopper and python to machine building and digital fabrication.
