If art is a vehicle for self awareness, a clear reflection of society and culture, it is then simultaneously a way to parse the information that is continuously traveling between self and society. 

I am a designer, which means that I am actively searching for ways to improve the world around me. I am also a craftsperson, focusing on the way a thing is constructed and I seek to create objects and places that are graceful solutions and a testament to the value of the material and time invested in their creation.

 The things we make and do leave an indelible impact on others, however small, and I want to make sure my contributions are elegant and timeless.

Every now and again I encounter a thing so well crafted that it changes my perspective, my mood, and my worldview.  I strive to make things that have this impact on others.  I am engaged in a deep examination of the components that make up the built and natural environments we all inhabit because  I want to more deeply understand the essence of the materials and shapes and forms of the things that comprise our lives.

We are a product of the places we inhabit and a reflection of the things in them.  Understanding the objects that give meaning to our space(s) and intentionally cultivating their place in our lives is how I understand myself and others.
