Orange Chair is a custom commercial furniture company located in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio.

During my time at Orange Chair, I was involved in their design, build, and installation processes. Using Rhinoceros and Grasshopper softwares, I engineered CAD models from drawings and programmed for CNC machining. I learned about the complete assembly process from ideas to final products and was hands-on in the wood shop operating both basic machinery and CNC routers, assisting with structure assembly, cladding, and dry fitting for final installation.
