Hey there!

I’m a Los Angeles–based Product + Furniture Designer who tells stories through furniture and everyday objects, drawing inspiration from curiosity, surroundings, and emotion.

There’s a certain magic in obsessively exploring the unknown, whether it’s working with a material I have never encountered before or diving into a manufacturing process that sparks excitement.

I design with the belief that meaningful connections can be formed through physical interaction with our environment, and that there’s no better medium to express this than the everyday objects we touch and use.
