Brooklyn, NY

I am designer and artist residing in Brooklyn NY. My design work explores the potential of utilitarian objects to bring a little bit of magic to our daily lives. I work with a range of materials from paper to wood, with a special affinity for clay for its material characteristics and its sustainable aspect.
