The Rene Coffee Table
This piece began as a long-term parametric design exploration, centered around the use of Voronoi mesh structures as both a formal and aesthetic strategy. The concept evolved through iterative modeling, with an emphasis on how computational geometry could inform material expression in furniture design.
The table is topped with a chamfered amber glass surface, selected for its warmth and clarity, which subtly offsets the complexity of the base.
The mesh geometry was developed using Rhino and Grasshopper, and translated into nine stacked layers of 1/8" Baltic birch plywood. Each layer was laser cut and hand-finished with a black walnut stain. The basin structure is CNC-milled from marine-grade Baltic birch to a precise 40" x 18" profile, softened with radiused corners for both durability and refinement.

I joined Oregon Trailer as an assistant to the owner and purchasing agent, supporting day-to-day operations in a small but fast-moving custom trailer shop. Over the course of a year, my role expanded significantly as I began contributing to broader systems, designs, and brand development.
`
I led a full rebrand of the company, designing two new websites and a custom pc/mobile 'Trailr' quotation system, along with a dynamic web-based Bill of Materials to further evaluate landing costs and adjust pricing over time.
OT was an amazing place to work. There was a sense of community in the small scale team we were. A team of 5 individuals in Eugene, making 30 or so trailers per year.
Designed at home by the Christianson Brothers, the recipe for a quality product is in everything they do.
FlatPack Truck Camper
This project is a modular, flat-pack truck camper system designed for adaptability, ease of assembly, and user engagement. It was developed with the idea that camping gear should evolve alongside the user—reconfigurable, reusable, and refreshingly simple.
The camper is designed to be ordered in a range of customizable layouts, with panels that can be rearranged into more than a dozen configurations. This approach not only extends the product’s lifespan but also encourages creativity and personalization with each trip.
The system is made to ship flat and assemble with basic tools, making it accessible to a wide range of users. It reflects my ongoing interest in modular systems, sustainable materials, and user-centered design thinking.
