I’m Lawrence.

I want to change the way we practice mechanical design.

Existing tools underperform in exploration of complex and nonlinear design spaces

Multi-domain expertise required to use these tools excludes creative non-experts

The next generation of design tools will be adaptive, intelligent, and user-oriented, enabling us to practice design without mastering the idiosyncrasies of individual tools. I embed modeling wizardry and first principles thinking into design workflows to contribute to the realization of this vision. Please enjoy this portfolio of my work!
