modular 3d-printing lighting system integrating geometry and fiber optic distribution
20”h 16"d

Developed through additive manufacturing, the project translates branching, symmetrical growth patterns into a repeatable component system. A central challenge was modeling organic geometries within SolidWorks, a platform optimized for mechanical precision, requiring the negotiation between parametric control and irregular form.

Embedded fiber optics distribute light through the structure, producing a diffuse, ambient glow while maintaining precise tolerances between printed elements. The system operates as both object and installation, allowing variation in configuration, scale, and spatial effect.



Sea life five-fold and seven-fold symmetries paired with design renderings:

This work reflects an early foundation in art and industrial design, developed through material exploration, prototyping, and drawing.
While focused on objects, these projects established an approach to making and iteration that continues to inform my architectural work.
