As a glassblower and a metalsmith, I am a designer and maker of handmade objects. I believe in giving objects significance through deliberate design and thoughtful creation. Motived by material curiosity, I combine contrasting mediums to inform texture, pattern, color and structure.
With a balance between careful consideration and impulsive explorations, I give a voice to my craft through the language of my materials.
