Philosophy

I aim to merge ornament and function, two design concepts that are significant and not entirely unrelated. With my designs, I hope to elicit an emotional (and often sentimental) response. I want people to dote on my designs, not just because they are beautiful, but because they are functional as well.

More about me
I am a young designer with hopes of doing what we all want: to make the world a better place.

Just like most other designers, my love of stuff led me to me down this path. Ever since I was little, I was always curious about the type of things people owned and how that defined them. I believe that people surround themselves with things they love and this is why I am a designer.

My joys include filling my passport, eating good cheese on crusty bread, finding sweet old stuff, patterns and colors, and my cat Georgette. I enjoy subtlety, but could hardly be described as subtle. If next to a window, I will stare out of it, but don't worry, I'm paying attention.
