Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM)

I started working with CAD technology in 2001 while still in architecture school for drafting and modeling. In 2006, I started working with CNC technology, which allows the transfer of electronic files to have 2D objects cut using laser or a plasma torch or 3D objects milled. In this, I had to understand the mechanics of the process, how the machine works, and how the software that runs it interprets my design and performs its task.

In 2006, I also started incorporating 3D Computer Modeling and Rapid Prototyping in my design process for my Master of Arts thesis research and carried it to my Master of Fine Arts thesis research. Computer Modeling allows me produce new design forms that are easily generated on the computer and Rapid Prototyping is responsible for bringing these ideas to the real and tactile world through 3D printing.
