Background

About Melody Rees

With a foundation in architecture and a career shaped at the intersection of design, technology, and innovation strategy, I specialize in transforming how buildings are imagined and delivered. I helped to found a disruptive company focused on large-scale 3D printing for architecture, pushing the boundaries of digitized construction and proving what’s possible when advanced manufacturing meets visionary design. As a Design Technology Manager, I lead cross-functional teams to implement computational design, automation, and emerging construction technologies that unlock efficiency, creativity, and competitive advantage across the AEC industry. My expertise spans high-performance facade systems, interior architecture, mixed-use developments, and large-scale installations—with additional focus on R&D for space architecture, DfM and next-generation digital workflows. From reshaping project delivery to inspiring innovation through experimental prototyping and future-focused design thinking, I bring the agility, curiosity, and leadership needed to elevate organizations in a rapidly evolving industry.
