Current role: i do cool confidential stuff that spans design, tech, art, the future
Get in touch with Franklyn via email (tiger@berkeley.edu) to schedule a time to meet.

i like learning things, cool shit, breaking stuff, and video games.

i love my cat, anime, and things that i don’t understand.

research interests include: high performance geometries, quantum lattice structures, color, design philosophy.

before mdes i was a mechanical design engineer at pax labs; spanning domains like materials research, industrial design, and hardware engineering.

these days i work on weird stuff, and for fun i make (very) large scale art with my friends at burning man, and for clients like the united nations and the saudi royal family.

some of the ways i might provide value to you are: if you are questioning what the f*ck you’re doing with your life, if you would like for your work to be roasted (in service of making it better!), or if you’re seeking inspiration / a thought partner.

generally, i enjoy bending fiction into non-fiction and working with ideas or within domains whose level of abstraction or infeasibility might make them difficult to even translate into words.
