Bio

I am an architect and computational designer with a passion for solving complex spatial problems through systems thinking, automation, and thoughtful design. My background combines conceptual architecture, technical building engineering, and entrepreneurship — enabling me to bridge creative vision with rigorous digital workflows.

My architectural foundation lies in conceptual design: rapidly generating ideas, testing them, and communicating them clearly through visualization. Over time, this evolved into a specialization in computational design, digital tooling, and data-driven workflows for the built environment.

As Computational Design Lead at LEVS Architecten (2022–2025), I guided the studio’s transition toward parametric design, automation, and integrated data systems — developing tools like the Carbon Cost Tracker and LevsDB that enabled faster, more informed decision-making for large-scale housing projects.

Notable Projects

  • Carbon Cost Tracker — LEVS

    An interactive tool to evaluate carbon impact, material quantities, and scenario variations for large housing projects. Linked parametric geometry with embodied carbon data for real-time feedback.

  • LevsDB — Internal Data Platform

    A knowledge system combining material libraries, building components, and environmental metrics into a unified digital environment for architects and engineers.

  • Parametric Urban Massing Tools

    Developed Grasshopper-based configurators for scenario exploration, daylight evaluation, and optimization for social housing projects.

  • Dune House III — MKArchitects

    Researched form, view corridors, and dune integration; explored spatial concept and massing strategies.

  • Panorama House — Healthy House Award

    Won 2nd place and honourable mention for a competition exploring spatial quality, daylight, and healthy living systems.
