ABOUT PATRICK HOLDEN

I’m a sophomore at Stanford University majoring in Economics with a minor in Data Science, passionate about the intersection of finance, innovation, and sustainability. This past summer, I completed the Tuck Business Bridge Program at Dartmouth, where a team and I worked on a full DCF valuation of Shake Shack for our capstone project; an experience that strengthened my interest in how capital allocation can drive responsible, long-term growth. This year on campus, I’m focused on getting more involved on campus through clubs and organizations that connect finance, technology, and impact. Outside the classroom, I’m a videographer and 3D designer. I recently collaborated with Ciridae, an AI transformation firm, to create its animated 3D launch video using and learning Blender from scratch and handling post-production compositing in After Effects. The experience was incredibly rewarding and taught me how powerful 3D animation tools can be for bringing complex ideas to life. Learning Blender has opened up a new creative dimension for me, allowing me to take my personal projects to the next level through detailed visual storytelling and technical precision. The project deepened my appreciation for how design and technology can work together to tell stories that move people and ideas forward. The project deepened my appreciation for how design and technology can tell stories that move people and ideas forward. I’m motivated by curiosity, collaboration, and the drive to build things that matter, whether that’s a model, a story, or a more sustainable financial system.
