Digital Toolbox

a web resource for teaching parametric modeling

At Cal Poly I saw the need for quick education in digital tools and programs that the school needed but could not offer. My friend, Tam Tran, and I created Digital Toolbox and launched digitaltoolbox.info, a web site to help architecture students with digital media.

We produce and host our own video tutorials as well as give workshops and consulting for architecture projects and studios. After launching in 2009 we have been hired by the Architecture Department at Cal Poly to give Rhino and Grasshopper workshops over the years as well as private studio workshops, and independent digital modeling and consulting.

After graduation, Tam Tran now works for Gensler LA and teaches at Woodbury School of Architecture. I continue to provide contract consulting and teach in New York, most recently at NYU’s ITP program and CUNY City Tech.
