I am an observer of the world and its inhabitants. I translate the code of the every day and derive from it, objects that challenge ordinary perceptions about the way we experience our environment. The objects that I create are made for people, derived from people, and are imbued with significance and personality.
The objects that we interact with are so very important. In essence, the things that we choose to surround ourselves with are what create or strengthen our individual identities. Designers are empowered to create the ideas and aesthetics that define how we live today. Design is an arena of the greater art world that has the ability to touch all people. Not just those who choose to pay the fee and walk through the doors of the museum. Design can change lives, or at the very least, enhance life.
In this new design era, we have to produce objects based on new criteria. Design is an art. If we create thought, emotion, take risks and inspire creativity in a way that is simple and sustainable, design is successful. I am interested in the unconventional solutions to conventional problems. I am concerned with the conceptualization and development of objects that will create wonderment and irrepressible contentment.
