Home designer, no training
Began drawing octagon homes the old way, on paper, for permits in 1978.
Using Sketchup from 1994 onward, I created designs for 12-sided and more octagon homes.
Invented “Hypershelter” (can be googled) and patented it with the help of Sketchup drawings. This requires the creation of, or suggestion of hyperbolic, compound-curved surfaces.
Created a number of polyhedrons for personal studies.
Tall building designs, boats, other experiments.
Created a large number of simply flat, 2-dimensional polygon tiling designs and colored them using Sketchup. Printed on cloth on home printer for gifts to family, who often made clothing and other items from these.
Assembled a book on polygon tiling, with illustrations created on Sketchup
