Sandrine joined PAYETTE in 2020, soon after receiving her MS Arch. degree, where her keen interest in parametric design, complex concrete casting and architectural acoustic performance was explored through fabrication in her thesis. Currently, Sandrine manages our FabLab, shepherding projects of all scales from design through to fabrication. She has run several small design-build projects from start to finish, demonstrating strong leadership skills and expertise. She is instrumental in mentoring staff and teaching students from the OpenLab Studio, helping investigate not just the conceptualization, but also the physical realization of design. Sandrine often collaborates with different teams, moving from one type of machinery and materials to another, learning different fabrication strategies and craftsmanship techniques along the way. Beyond her project work, she is an active participant in firm initiatives such as the Sho-Ping Chin Legacy of Leadership exhibit initially shown at the 2023 AIA’s Women’s Leadership Summit.
