Professional Experience


  • Assistant Professor
    University of Oklahoma School of Architecture and Planning // Norman, Oklahoma

    2017-2022

  • Founder / Developer
    Metatecto // Norman, OK

    2020

    Metatecto was created as community practice for architects, designers, developers and artists (friends) to explore practical and academic ideas connecting local and global communities, people, brands and businesses to the metaverse through virtual architectural and evironmental experiences, industrial design, world building, and master planning to bridge our physical and digital worlds.

    We are crossing the threshold into a new era of art, design and architecture. Metaverses are crafting new rules for spatial and metaphysical experiences that can be created without the traditional constraints of materiality, gravity, or environment. These new metaspaces will reveal completely new ways of thinking that will flip our long-held logic of construction, tectonics, objects, buildings, public spaces, neighborhoods and cities.
