Jesse Toohey is an Adjunct Lecturer and Fabrication Labs Manager at Tulane University's School of Architecture. He holds a B.S. in Architecture from Tulane University. His roles combine industry experience with academic teaching, focusing on digital fabrication, generative design, and non-standard construction methods. As Fabrication Labs Manager, he oversees workflows, safety practices, and student training in advanced manufacturing techniques.

Education: B.S. in Architecture, Tulane University.

Research interests include challenging conventional architectural standards through projects like 'No Standards: A Hill of Beans,' which explores non-rectilinear geometries and unconventional material uses. Collaborations include work with students and faculty on projects questioning standardization in built environments.

Teaching includes courses such as DESG 4931 (Advanced Digital Making), DESG 3010 (Prototyping Solutions), and ARCH 2311 (Digital Media), emphasizing computational tools (Rhino3D, Grasshopper) and hands-on fabrication skills. He coordinates labs and workshops for CNC routers and other digital fabrication equipment.

Awards: None explicitly listed.

Advising/Grants: No specific grants or formal advising roles noted beyond collaborative projects. Hobbies include rock climbing, tattooing, and vintage shopping.
