About Custom Archetype
What This Is
Projects I worked on. Projects I loved.
Custom Archetype is a gallery of the architecture I could not leave on the drawing board. Competition renders, studio projects, structural explorations: work I designed, some of it with my studio teams, and turned into finished artwork, printed to order on premium acrylic.
They are made to live anywhere people love how they look: living rooms and bedrooms, offices and lobbies, hotel rooms and restaurants, new developments, even covered outdoor spaces. If a wall deserves something with structure behind it, these pieces belong there.
A note on what you see here: screen images are compressed so the site loads fast. Every piece is printed from the original full-resolution design file; the finished acrylic is far sharper than any screen preview.
The Signature Print
Extruding Forms
This one has a lineage. It began as a study of a Richard Diebenkorn painting, translated by hand into pencil hatching, line weight standing in for color. A portion of that study was enlarged, then rebuilt in 3D until the flat rhythm became structure: planes and beams pushing out of a square canvas. What you see is that structure, printed on premium acrylic and signed.
3D-printed editions of this piece are coming soon: the same forms, made physical, as collectible items.

How It Is Made
Born Digital
Every artwork starts as a digital design file, vector or raster. Signed pieces carry the signature in the print file itself.
Premium Acrylic
A premium acrylic print, made by a professional lab: a glass-like finish with depth and colour accuracy. Available in multiple sizes from Small to Max.
Precision Mounting
Each piece ships with professional mounting hardware. French Cleat for large pieces. Stainless post systems for precision spacing. Installed clean. Stays straight.
The Artist
I am an owner's representative who makes art, with the same principles that shape architecture, the built environment, and textile design.
