Born and raised in the Midwest, Daniel graduated from Kansas State University’s School of Architecture in 2002. Since that time, he has worked as a project designer for diverse, regional architecture practices with work in the healthcare, hospitality, commercial, housing, and education markets. His portfolio includes numerous built projects throughout the United States, as well as abroad. Daniel has received many design awards for both his built and unbuilt work, and his work has been published in numerous publications such as Building Design and Construction and Architectural Record. Throughout his career, Daniel has integrated 3d visualization and digital media as an essential part of the design process to bring his creative visions to life. This passion for digital exploration brought Daniel to MICA in 2008 when he served as a faculty member teaching ARCH_VIZ - an environmental design course teaching the fundamentals of 3d and multimedia software. Since then, Daniel has remained as a faculty
member, most recently teaching BABEL_Studio, a multidisciplinary Design-Build Studio where the act of building is used to inform the process of design.
