As an object-obsessed designer, I view the pieces I create as tools for making meaning—prioritizing authenticity, personal expression, and connection through shared values. I work with various materials, but I’m particularly drawn to classics like ceramic, metal, and wood, appreciating their craftsmanship and rich history. My background is in both product and service design. I studied Industrial Design at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Furniture Design through an exchange at the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen
