BIO

My work is guided by a joy of discovery and an urge to challenge materials. Experimentation, happy accidents, intuition, and play are reflected by a lightness of character in the objects I design. Form is born from a cooperation between material and hands, its aim a straightforward sense of balance.
My design practice is based on handcrafting, single pieces and small-scale production.
