Co-Founder, Project Manager, Engineer

International design collective, collabortation between Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design, and the University of Erfurt, Germany,

We invented a flexible, high-efficiency 'passive house' building envelope technology using engineered textiles, and built a full-scale prototype home with the technology for the 2014 Solar Decathlon in Versailles, France.

I co-founded the team, managed the project for two years, and led a $1M sponsorship campaign to fund it.
