// description

As part of the RFP pursuit team, I helped pitch a data-driven design concept that ultimately won the project.  As lead computational designer on the project for two years, I specialized in creating algorithmic design environments with computational precision, performance analysis, and rapid visual feedback of key metrics.  Videos seen here are simplified, generic examples of the algorithmic design environments that I built for the project.  The full project details are still protected under NDA.
