With a passion for community-driven and sustainable design, I believe that purposeful design has the power to elevate the quality of everyday life. Design should listen, understand, and respond to the needs of the people it serves and the environment it encompasses. My joy exists in craft; the handmade details at the human scale that have the power to transform everyday experiences into extraordinary ones.
