Design Statement

My work encapsulates interaction, playfulness, and the unexpected through theatrical objects that are an experience in themselves. I make objects that are precious and beautiful but also demand participation to build a wearer-object relationship. I am intrigued by creation and the beginning of life; plant shoots breaking through concrete, and creating a pocket of life from nothing. I am also inspired by the magic of pop-up and the playful transformation of three dimensional forms growing from a flat plane before disappearing again.
